Fire Cora and give Tek job and I will feel better.

 

Yeah, maybe that tough guy can put on full body armor then macho around threatening to hit someone. (Excuse me, let me edit that: I mean "The Captain").

To Max and many others with all good memories. Yes, having been a sentient fan since the early 1950's , the wait for 2004 and 2007. and 2013. and especially 2018 were interminable . I missed the 1946 loss to the Cardinals since I was born a month later. The disappointments in '67, '75 , '86 , the '78 playoff game, etc, etc, were really awful. The 2021 run over the Yankees and challenge to the Astros gave great encouragement that they were ready yet again.

 

The much more recent WS wins were fantastic and still are. But why is it necessary for this team to be so up one year and in the dumpster the next ? The yo-yo effect is disconcerting and affects my vertigo. This current bunch of non-competitive FO, field management and roster is disheartening. This leads to changes and some are definitely coming.

 

I think it is part of the plan. No, they don't plan to ever suck, except for 2020, but, IMO, they target their financial efforts, only when they think they are close. The Ben era was very similar to this one, and it did help lead to a nice stretch, culminating in the fantastic 2018 ring year.

 

IMO, the hope was we could not look so bad while we built up the foundation to the point where Henry okays "the pounce." Theo pounced. DD pounced with the Price signing and Sale/Kimbrel trades. Maybe Bloom will- maybe Bloom's eventual replacement will. The question might be, when?
