Are you kidding us? Let me guess, you'd trade a playoff appearance for a losing season just so Baker will get canned, right? Brilliant strategy. when will we be making the playoffs? we are 7 back....will we continue to play for the wild card when we are 15 out with 15 to play? I see absolutely no point in rooting against your team, period. And, there have been lots of teams who have come back from seven games out in August to win pennants or division titles. If the NL were stronger, than I'd be less optimistic. But it makes no sense to root against your team. i agree, i don't root against my team but we aren't making the playoffs , so i certainly understand why someone would say want the team to fail to get something done(like firing dusty), it's kind of like hoping you lose your last game to get the #1 pick in the draft
