I expected mediocrity this year, not total failure. If you're going to be brutal, go all out. If the end result this season means that the Piniella/Hendry regime comes to an end, this year is worth it. Why would Ricketts have to wait until the end of the season? If he's an intimate a fan as he presents himself to be, he should be sick of this along with the rest of us. Seriously, what do we do with Z, Soriano, Grabow, Fukudome? They're not going away. And why does Ramirez not care about being good at baseball until it's warm weather?
