Sorry Terry. We have a product to sell here, and it’s not selling.
The ballpark is dead. The broadcasts are dead. The lineup is dead.
Stop selling me the future.
This team needs a kick in the ass.
This team needs some fire.
This team needs to look like it gives a shit when it loses.
This team needs to look like it gives a shit when the team is sleepwalking through another game.
This fan base needs something to hang our July 4th Fashion Caps on.
This team needs a little of the 1986 attitude.
Even from a Product standpoint, having that in the dugout will spill upstairs where right now Gary sounds angry at the world (have you noticed?) and Keith sounds like he is being forced to be there. (Ron and KB continue to hand in their best work.)
I’d love to hear Ron and Keith reacting to the crazy angry guy in the dugout.
I look at this picture and I imagine him saying, “The bullshit stops now boys.”
It will still be Daniel Murphy carrying The 51s plus David Wright having a sub-par year (FOUR home runs and .271 on June 13th).
The roster is still bad, but it doesn’t need to be boring.
Teufel is boring. Geren is boring. Safe choice is boring.
Wally now.
Sorry Terry.
