He was terrible. Only Jack Morris was worse IMO. I don't like being talked down to like I don't understand baseball, and Roy did plenty of that. And he's the only person not coming back from last year's broadcasting team.
He's still an advisor and has say in certain matters. My real hope is he retires after the sale process. He's peart of the reason attendance stays down after blaming fans for not showing up a few years ago when they were leading the division but playing like garbage.
Looking at the ballot I wanted to write in Dick Bremer but I think there is the same 5 years retired deal as the Baseball HOF has. So I went with Mudcat Grant, Tom Brunansky, Corey Koskie, Glen Perkins, and Al Worthington.
Not really sure why a season only shortened by 8 games was left out but 1972 Bobby Darwin absolutely belongs on this team. .267 AVG, 22 HR, 80 RBI is pretty solid.
Reading this article from John Romano of the Tampa Bay Times, it looks like anything at $47M and under to repair the roof would be covered by insurance. Also note in the story that this is under St Petersburg control and the team really has no say in it.
It could be a good sign for the OP here since every team I have rooted for in the playoffs has lost their series to this point. That's right I'm 0-8. I am going for the Yankees and Dodgers. The only NL team I hate more than the Dodgers is the Mets so I am very reserved in rooting for them.
