Watching these games wouldn't be nearly as bad...

If it seemed like the Org. recognized their mistakes and were trying new things.

 

If you don't want to get rid of Baker, fine. Limit his options, dump the usual suspects, force his hand.

 

Let the fanbase know the poor play is unacceptable, instead of insulting everyone's intelligence with this "right direction" crap.

 

Let fans know that the FO actually watch the games and acknowledge the problems.

 

Cut the losers. So far the only statement being sent to players is that mediocrity is satisfactory. Whether it be Patterson, Burnitz, Garciaparra, I really don't care because none of the above should be considered next year.

 

I don't know how they can let things remain status quo, if not to salvage the season, but their reputations and pride.

Unfortunately, there's not much that can be done now, at this point - save for the callups in almost a week's time.

 

And they'll to wait until 9/1 to cut "the losers" if they were to do so, to replace them with callups. So any "loser dumping" that will occur will have to wait until the offseason. But expect Macias, Perez, Hollandsworth, and Burnitz to be back, if Dusty has any real say in the matter.

Does Nomar really belong in this group? Yes, he had a slow start (.157/.228/.176), but I don't think you can judge him on a handful of games. Esp since he's tearing it up since his return (.348/.388/.543). If you don't want him back b/c he's injury prone, that's one thing. But he's not in Patterson or Burnitz's class.
