Dtrain72 Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Lost 4 of 5 at home against a team that is literally having a fire sale and is basically trotting out a minor league roster. Oh, and the only actual potential MLB starting position player AL has drafted that is on the team in Tork, is on the cusp of getting sent back down. Give that man an extension! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Useful Idiot Posted May 12, 2022 Author Share Posted May 12, 2022 The thing I find most reassuring about Tork right now, is that he has an abysmal BAbip , so at least we can be sure that his other numbers are not artificially "pumped up" by good luck.

Motor City Sonics Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Afternoon guys on 97.1 today. Avila = Millen. Can't argue it. How much longer, Chris? Even if you hire another stiff, which I am certain you will, at least he'll find a different way to fuck things up. A fresh fuck-up, if you will. Done with this. Oh, you have major leaguers with your #1 picks. Picks that at least 80% of the league would have taken. Wow. 2015 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing of it is, I'm believing that Al is just doing the job asked of him. I mean he's the "face" of the deception, so I vent on him...he was the source of the snarky "drunken sailor" excuse...but I believe that was just made in service to a greater evil.

Isn't it fundamental to the concept of creating wealth, to effect "improvements"? I think its part of the game....make changes that prior ownership was too ignorant to implement...I think some call it "vision". Mind you that I'm not advocating any move, I just have the concern that any party willing to make such a sizable investment, will likely feel compelled to meddle. Pretty much in the same spirit with the recent warning to Cincy fans to be careful what they wish for..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
