how many people really stuck with that team? i remember game threads that were 2 or 3 pages long, mostly fred doing play by play for himself. they were a complete waste of time to follow (except on rich hill days). I'll say one thing, it was a lot less stressful to watch the team at the end of 2006. Losing was expected. If they won, it was gravy. But if they blew a 5 run lead, it wasn't really a big deal because you hated pretty much everyone on the roster. classic game thread - 22 posts TOTAL. these game threads have twice as many before the game even starts. and of course a classic cob lineup: Pierre, CF Fast Freddie, 2B Ramirez, 3B Murton, LF Moore, 1B Blanco, C Coats, RF Cedeno, SS Mateo, P Who would've thought 2 years later he's a Cy Young candidate.
