    We are required to have a certain number of Pieces of Flair after every win.

    Management Says So.

    Dana Brown needs to be on the phone with Jim Crane right now to beg Crane to eat the rest of that horrendous Montero contract that he insisted on without the services of a GM. Literally anybody in AAA could do better. I imagine we will get 2-3 bullpen arms prior to the deadline.

    Walling was better. Garner such a below avg hitter for a 3rd baseman. Walling was damn good in 1986. Injuries hurt that guys career.

    I've never said so, in fact I've said the exact opposite multiple times.

    I know that the game threads are SERIOUS BUSINESS, but this post presupposes that...maybe they shouldn't be?

    I was strictly talking about mustache respect. Proper platoon there.

    You were serious bro. That was a classic Buck post. Anyone defending Dusty at this point is just looking to troll everyone if we somehow win it all again. It won’t be because of him though, so the trolling will be ineffective.

    Bro, this team isn't good enough to overcome Dusty this year.

    And I don't think we can do it without Click. There I said it.

    No, sorry bro. I've talked **** about regular season Dusty for about 3 years now. Before the game today I said that I wished he had retired after the WS last season, and I hope he retires after this one.

    I was upset about one of his idiot bullpen decisions today, and said so at the time.

    I don't know who you're arguing with, but it's not me. So carry on, and good luck with all that.

    This is where I'm at as well. Dana Brown seems like a nice gentleman and good person, but definitely not at the GM level of a Luhnow and I fear not at the Click level. Our talent is down year-on-year with some regression with bullpen arms and injuries. Dusty remains Dusty -- stubborn and set in his ways...unwilling to change course.

    We need to make moves in order to contend and not waste a year of our window. The clock is ticking.

    Just calling it like I see it. McCormick struck out and you tried to troll everyone because of it. Don’t get mad at me, you are the one defending Dusty with that post. If you want to defend Dusty and you think we are all wrong for wanting Chas out there more, then I will say the same. Good luck with “all that”

    Brown is looking weak by not controlling Dusty. If Click could do it and Crane evidently hated him then why can't Brown? Grow a pair Brown!
