Frank Klebe fired midseason

How seriously do the Lancaster Barnstormers take their baseball? Apparently, even more seriously than I thought.
By now, it's well known that the fans love their team, and the Barnstormers' finally gave their fans hope that this dreadful season can be turned around Sunday night when they fired first-year manager Frank Klebe.
Pitching coach Rick Wise has been named interim manager.
In retrospect, the Klebe hiring made no sense to being with. He had been with the team since 2005 as a coach, but he had limited professional managerial experience and was being asked to lead the defending Atlantic League champions with all their veteran players.
Anyway, you can read more about the situation -- including quotes from Klebe and Barnstormers personnel -- in this story from the Lancaster New Era.

**Some things worth mentioning:
1) The story says Klebe is the first Atlantic League manager ever to be fired midseason. That should help underscore the magnitude of this move because there have been plenty of underachieving teams in the past who kept their managers anyway.
2) It says all Atlantic League managers sign one-year contracts. That is not true. After the 2002 season, Patriots manager Sparky Lyle signed a five-year contract extension. That contract expires after this season.
3) It seems to hint that much of Klebe's firing and the Barnstormers' woes have to do with BASA, the group in charge of supplying the team with players. BASA -- which holds the same responsibilities for the Bridgeport Bluefish, Camden Riversharks and York Revolution -- is run by former Patriots director of player procurement Adam Gladstone. BASA handled the baseball operations for the Patriots last year, but the Patriots dropped its services after a frustrating 2006 season. I've heard rumors BASA has lost some of its power in Lancaster. If that's true, can firing BASA be far behind this latest move?
