I dont think a manager is resposible for that many wins and loses.He should
be able to motivate his team and I dont think Willie can do that.Throughout
the season you hardly ever see any emotion out of him.Maybe a Pinella type
could get more out of this underachieving team.This team should have won
with a monkey managing.I think that Peterson is useless,the piching is a
shambles.We knew is wasn't going to be great,but maybe a trade for younger
more durable pitcher would have helped.Next season is going to go in a very
different direction I hope.

Yeah, winning the division is awful.....they should have been at
least 155-7 with the talent they have.

what team are you watching genius ?
it will be a miracle if they take the division,the third highest payroll and they cant win.
in the last 100 games they are just about .500
not exactly something to brag about.
backing into the playoffs in not the way to go.how can you feel good about this team.
