There are few things as entertaining as social media following the announcement of some kind of major news.
Throw in a frustrated fan base and a much maligned general manager, and what you get is nothing short of gold. Here's a look at some of the best Twitter reactions to the news that Ruben Amaro Jr. is out as Phillies GM.
That's not rain, son. That's the baseball gods shedding tears of joy on Philadelphia.

Ruben Amaro, after Phillies dismissal, takes over Ashley Madison. "His experience ruining relationships & sabotaging futures is top notch."

It's like all of a sudden, food tastes better. I'm going to sleep better tonight than usual.

Looked out my window and saw people in Phillies hats doing cartwheels all the way down the street. Did Ruben Amaro get fired or something?

Ruben Amaro doesn't understand not extending contracts, so he'll continue showing up for work.

Somewhere, Mike Adams just strained his UCL tipping his cap to Ruben

No, Ruben didn't outlast Ryan Howard's contract. But it was close.

To defend the trades the dude made this year is to ignore everything that necessitated making these trades.

Amaro was not lone person responsible for this mess of a franchise. But his presence here would have been a PR nightmare for this franchise

This new Phillies GM already sucks! What's his name?
