They may not be running it very effectively from a win loss standpoint, but their goal is to make money...or at best, not lose money.<br /><br />The sooner you accept this, the sooner you'll stop making statements such as the above.<br /><br />When you boil it down, you are rooting for very highly paid employees of a company that have very little accountability that happen to seem like really cool people.Cy Slapnickahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10109399114263980881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-63557029245753503452009-08-02T01:19:40.045-04:002009-08-02T01:19:40.045-04:00why couldnt we trade halfner and wood and anyone ...why couldnt we trade halfner and wood and anyone else making over $10 an hour?

I'm with Rockdawg (I don't know about the whole blowing things up approach) seeing Martinez wearing shades to hide if red, teary eyes and how he had to explain to his son that they were not Indians any more really pissed me off. This was clearly about nothing other than money. At the All-star game he says he wants to retire as an Indian, three weeks later he's playing for that in New England. I think Shapiro would trade his wife if it would save on payroll and he got some injury-prone prospect in return.<br /><br />Did Shapiro even try to sign him to extension (forgive my ignorance on his contract situation)<br /><br />I'm so sick of hearing that this is how small-market teams have to operate. That only goes so far to explain things. At some point your just being cheap.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-11481803564639418232009-08-01T15:47:05.357-04:002009-08-01T15:47:05.357-04:00If you cannot afford to run a professional sports ...If you cannot afford to run a professional sports team, then you have no business owning one.
