What the hell is wrong with that team? They look good on paper. I really like Winn as a leadoff hitter too. Kinda reminds me of a Chuck Carr that can hit. Lopez is finally coming around as a MLB starter, McGriff/Vaughn,Castilla are some decent bats. Not that it makes a difference but I think they shouldn't of gotten rid of Bubba Trammel. I liked that guy and he was a fan favorite.
The playing facility(Tropicana Field) is already considered an outdated facility. 2nd rate. Very unappealing. Vince Naimoli is a pri%#. The town as well as his partners want him gone. Nice article in todays paper had a quote"A community does not need a ballclub. But a ballclub desperately needs its community" That about sums it up. And the fact that Rothchild turned out to be a big puzzy didn't help. And to boot, they are paying Alvarez and Guzman about 11 mil combined a year to pitch, and I don't ever see them pitching again. And to double boot, they have millions and millions wrapped up into Sean Seay and Matt White.....who..exactly, and these rich punks are getting pounded in the minors. Josh Hamilton is the only bright spot. Albie is having a great start and Winn, Cox, and Johnson are playing good, but that's it. Grieve and Castilla are hitting below 190. For us to do anything expected as a bunch, by the middle of june we would need to see Wilson Alverez with an 8-2 record, Juan Guzman with a 7-3 record. Vinny Castilla hitting 3 homers a week. Ben Grieve flirting with .300 and Greg Vaughn refinding that 50-dinger look, maybe it could happen. Dreamin.......it's gonna take a move to Tampa in a state of the art ballpark and a winning product, or it will never work. St Pete will never support this team

No the fealing. My Brewers have sucked a long time now. Nice new stadium and some power hitters we may play 500 for the year. That would be great for many of us who have suffered so long.
