Now all the people mailing it in and saying we were done were fools, I mean we've been there before. Mediocre start and then turn it on in the back half of the season. It's nothing new and there was no reason to think it couldn't be done. But the way they had played to the point when they were 10-8 in conference yeah they deserved criticism. Doesn't make someone a negative or fake fan, it just is what it is.

this. fans have rights to opinions and when a team is playing bad it's not "illegal" to speak of it. my only confession is that I seriously was questioning Alan Dunn at the time where neither our starters or bull pen could throw a strike and it seemed Lange was regressing for a second straight year. while the facts were out there supporting that it got turned around and I commend Dunn for that. I never criticize pitching moves as I coached and I can tell you it's a crap shoot; all you have is past history and stats to support you as it is IMPOSSIBLE to predict future human performance.
