2010: meaningful imprOvement

It is good for Team to have Boss of Team who runs Team in open, tough and fair way. For example, Mr. Andy MacPhail shook Manager's hand yesterday, gave him the rock, and then said you better win some ballgames next year.

It is also good for Blog to have boss of Team who nicknames 2010 season in October 2009, saving Wayward O ENTIRE WINTER of tortured musings and nightmares that blog is under attack by swarm of Capital "O"s.

Some of Mr. MacPhail's remarks, upon picking up of manager for next year, were instructive for fans of Team:

"We're out of phase one now, going forward."

"We're going to move back to the more traditional criteria of evaluating managers: wins and losses."

"To give him every chance, going forward, and to win as many games as we can and show meaningful improvement in the standings ... it's our job to ... give him as much help as we possibly can."

Mr. Bossman has already tipped hat a little bit this year, saying he'll guard his prized Kids like a Momma Bear guarding Cub but won't be shy about going to Ol Man Angelos for free agent money to fill in some glaring holes.

"I understand very clearly what it's all about," Mr. Dave Trembley said.

Note to Players: Don't expect to be "shut down" or "protected" next year. Produce or GTFO. Corollary note to any players that don't like manager: You can't get rid of Trembley by losing games, so you might as well try to win.

It is sad Pardon Our Dust phase is coming to close. Sad in the same way the passage of time is said all by its lonesome.


Also how about that Little Aubrey guy? He wants to play baseball and he sees opportunity to play baseball and he is making most of said opportunity to play baseball!
