Face it the Pohlad family et all, hate and I mean hate the baseball buisness. They hate the comments, they hate the scrutiny of their decisions, they hate being labeled as penny pinching owners. They obviously don't understand baseball as a team sport, Do you honestly think any of the family members ever played orginized baseball?...T-ball ? High School? It would not surprise me if the current management were'nt out looking for a left handed shortstop.
We as fans have to accept the fact they just dont care and they are incapable of caring. In addition you have inter- family squables effecting how the team is run. An Executive Board? So group think on the bullpen? Making bold statements about being competive when you have a smaller payroll and hole filled mangement team? Really?
What we do have is a very nice stadium, we dont have anyone that knows how to really put butts in chairs and or feild a competive team. Maybe thats all been said before sadly
