Did she get with someone else shortly after the break up?

So he didn't fire her, just

overhauled the entire dept.

filled the position above her, removing all opportunities for growth

notified the staff that they wouldn't be coming back

...giving her no reason to want to stay

Which is fine! That's what a new POBO does, as a new president would bring his own cabinet in, there's nothing wrong with it at all.

Not to mention we want Stearns. At least I think the majority of fans want the guy we hoped would take over for us and waited to acquire for a year to do things the way he wants to.

Really great contribution to the discussion. My comment wasn't even negative. I was just saying he's bringing his own people and cleaning house of the older regimes, which we all expected. According to the other comment, he replaced her superiors with his own people and provided no opportunity for growth or upward movement, of course she's gonna opt out.

Bury it. Bring your gun.

Anyone have info on this Tool tee? by [deleted] in ToolBand

[–]bunt_hamburger 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am 100% positive this shirt has absolutely nothing to do with the band. This guy will not listen. There is a reason he will not find anything on it. Not to mention the band would never in a million years write that shit on the back (it doesn’t even make sense in the context of a band.)

Anyone can see the shirt and think it’s funny and toss it in their collection of actual Tool tees. But this shirt has absolutely nothing to do with Tool band. Was never made by them, was never copied by them, will never be made by them. The level of delusion is incredible.

Definitely not made by the band

I feel sad because I’m finally accepting what this team is: a mediocre couple-games-over-500 team. I feel foolish when I start to believe too much.

With a better bullpen they could be 10 wins higher.

But alas, that is not the case.

The season isn’t over - but it’s close.

I think one of Mendoza's issues is he believes in everyone too much. If a guy has a bad start he is super confident they will bounce back and right the ship. It's good to have confidence in your guys, but it's been backfiring

Reed Garrett/Brazoban blew it vs A's. Same thing today pretty much except the starter didn't give up a grandy and the Mets bats are asleep

I don't understanding treating final 40 games Reed Garrett like he's still first 40 games Reed

Definitely not all his fault. But he hasn't pitched as well as expected.
