Wedge named All-Star coach
CLEVELAND -- Indians manager Eric Wedge, who has been increasingly unhappy with his team's lackluster play of late, was named a coach by AL manager Ozzie Guillen for next month's All-Star game in Pittsburgh.
The Chicago White Sox manager also added Toronto's John Gibbons to his staff for the July 11 game at PNC Park.
"I have a lot of respect for Eric Wedge and John Gibbons," said Guillen, "and what they've been able to accomplish with the Indians and Blue Jays. Every time we play those teams it's a battle for the White Sox. I look forward to having both of them in our dugout."
Last season, Wedge finished runner-up to Guillen as manager of the year after leading Cleveland to 93 wins and a second-place finish in the AL Central.
However, this season the Indians have struggled and entered Monday's series opener in St. Louis trailing the first-place Detroit Tigers by 17 games and the White Sox by 15 1/2.
Following Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Cincinnati Reds, Wedge lambasted his struggling team.
"There are no excuses -- guys just have to do a better job," he said. "This is major league baseball and you can't worry about the press or about scrutiny. It is not supposed to be easy."
