Kid be funny.
Runnys, I feel your pain, certainly. We all do. But even I, who like Coldneck, is a believer that this team needs massive restructuring,...even I don't think we should throw in the towel yet. It's just too early, and our competition in the Central is too soft.
Here are some pretty strong reasons why I'm not in favor of a complete fire sale:
1.We still have a chance. A decent one.
2. Jim Hendry would be the one in charge of restocking the team. Think about that.
3. Guys like Aramis and Theriot are at an all-time low in value.
4. Our farm system is not exactly bursting with guys who can step in.
5. We've lost a slew of 1-run games, which usually means that the talent is there, but the ball isn't bouncing our way.
I often think of the 2003 Marlins...in exactly the same position as we are now, in late May of that year. They smartly shook things up in the time-honored tradition (firing the manager), and then started winning. Lou isn't 100% the cause of our problems (at all), but we need a good shake-up.

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
