Good updates. I've said all along that I feel good about this season, but the recent quotes bolster that feeling.
Face it, they're never gonna run the team the way I'd ideally like them to. Fontenot should have definitely started over Fuk in the playoffs, and I think Marmol's perfect job is as the 7th and 8th inning fireman, not as the guy to get the last 3 outs with nobody on base.
But what can you do? If we get into the playoffs again, there's no reason to complain.

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
