With Mackanin now at 29-19 through 48 games, anyone want to change their vote? I'm starting to wonder about mine...

I'll change mine as well. Still think the Reds will make a run at Tony LaRussa if he's available, if not, Mackanin should get the nod. I don't want to get too caught up in hiring a "name guy" because Mackanin is unlike the previous to managers that wore the interim tag before being hired full time. One thing that has impressed me the most is that he has cleaned up the bullpen by defining some roles (Burton is the setup 8th inning man, Bray will work the 7th, Weathers will close). He's also eased Majewski into the rotation to help him gain some confidence and I'll be the first to say that I gave up on the "Magic Man" weeks ago - jury's still out on him though with me.

Mackanin doesn't tinker with the lineup either. Something else I like.

The Reds have to go 22-10 and the Cubs have to go 16-17 in order for the Reds to "tie" Chicago for the NL Central title.
