Gnats @ Pads 8/1 - 8/3

All I know is that we've enjoyed 4 straight years of having a realistic shot at the playoffs until this year happened.

I'm not ready to say the front office needs to go because they hit a bump in the road.

I would never say they need to go. I don't walk in their shoes. After 10 years KT has garnered lots of support and I frankly, am not an expert in that field nor do I want to be.

But what other explanation is there? We have some good players that have been pulled out of nowhere. Where did the Gonzo bros come from? [rhetorical] Hoffy and Giles are the mainstays. Thank gawd they got rid of Klesko, I wish we still had Dave Roberts and Nady. Maybe Linebrink, Williams. Peavy, Greene, Kouz, Geret, Headley I believe came up through the ranks of somewhere, but I could be wrong. Minor league stacking is always good. We need to see more of it. Think Angels, Dogs and D'bags.

Basically like you, I don't know the answer either.

You know what though? You state we had a realistic shot at the playoffs. I have to disagree. A couple years we may have had a shot but a couple more we barely made it. In fact had a call or two been different from the umps we would not have made it at all. We were hanging in by the skin of our teeth.
