    Why don't you look at his recent statistics? And, I don't appreciate you constantly talking down to me.

Other franchises give guys in AAA, even guys with OPS of .650-.750 a chance over geriatrics that can't swing a bat. Conine is 3-30. He's a bum. Castro is a bum.

    Selling Harris for cash was as boneheaded of a move as you can make. I thought Harris was the 2nd best player in the trade, and we gave him away for nothing. I hated the choice of Morasco in the 1st Round and I didn't like the 2nd pick (supplemental pick), so in the last 15 months, I think Krivsky has been atrocious, except for Hamilton.

    Oh, yeah. Letting the season completely tank itself before firing Narron. Why fire him at all if you're going to wait until the season is ruined? If he was bad enough to fire in July, why couldn't he recognize that and fire him in May or June when it might have mattered?

    Most of these mistakes were made at the beginning of the year. It's not like Conine/Castro have done much worse than anyone really thought.

    Yep. Krivsky's issues aren't completely centered around who he doesn't release. It's more about acquiring them to begin with.

    Castro with a ground rule double to center. 1-0 Mets. 2nd and 3rd.

    Ground rule double scores Wright. Runners at 2nd and 3rd.

    Bad Kyle back a start early. That play by Phillips and the CS in the 1st have saved him from being blown out.
    All my posts are my opinion - just like yours are. If I forget to state it and you're too dense to see the obvious, look here!
