One might actually enjoy watching the development of Teel, Montgomery, Quero, Taylor, Leasure, Sosa, et al. The young players are exciting and their ups and downs are worthy of analysis. Unsure why you're rooting for losses and what changed in your mind. You should elaborate.

But I think there's no reason for you to suddenly 'change' in this way, my friend.

Wow, it's not often a poster asks greg to "elaborate." Usually the sentiment is for me to stifle after being repetitive in posts.

What changed in my mind, I think, was getting numb to all the losing. Losing tore at me for many years as fathom, caulfield et all could attest, as losses to the Cub and the Royals turned me into a raving angry lunatic. Some years the posters wanted us to lose to get a better draft pick and I angered many by saying I wanted to win every game. Finally I got numb to the losing I guess. It's a good study in human behavior. As the Sox lost a diehard by prolonged ineptitude.

I enjoy your last sentence. I agree it's 'fun' to follow the progress of Teel and Colson and Meidroth, etc. And Quero. But it's not fun enuf to tempt me to purchase mlb.com next season.

Don’t forget that they didn’t interview anyone because they could not afford to waste a year.

Wonder where they would be had they wasted a year.

Why waste one year when you can waste three!
