caulfield12 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 17, 2012 -> 08:24 PM) lol! lots of doom and gloom around here already. some players are playing some really, really s***ty baseball right now, but not all, not by a LONG stretch. Ref***inglax fellas. You're right. But we've been having this same conversation back and forth, back and forth, since 2009. In the end, if it's not enjoyable, maybe it is best to take a break for awhile. There really was the feeling last year a significant part of the fanbase wanted the team to lose just so Ozzie and/or KW would lose their jobs...that someone from management would have to do SOMETHING. It's a bigger problem when you have a new manager and hitting coach and see the same problems. That's on the players, and the GM who acquired them.

Ref***inglax fellas. I think there'd be a much different vibe if it was the Dunn/Beckham/Morel/Rios group that was playing well and Konerko/AJ were struggling. This just seems way too much like 2011 for a lot of people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not going to beat a dead horse but, a team with attendance problems should not have the highest parking in MLB at $25.00. Supply and demand has too take effect with JR at some point.
