Same here. I wish Ricketts had a little more of Stein in him.

He may still. I gave Ricketts a pass this year, because it's year one and the team was pretty much in place. This next season is crucial though. They, at the very least, need to prove that they have a game plan, a direction, a blue print. I'm not necessarily demanding a World series next year, but at least some progress towards one in the near future.

There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance
