To Cherington - If at first you don't succeed, try something else.


If the numbers you award teams were equivalent to the grades we all received in school (5=A, 4=B, etc), the Giants GM would have a report card he'd be hiding from his mom and dad.  Yet he's looking like a high Honor Roll student in your poll.  And you spend your time ripping Cherington.  Some Pirates fan you are.


________

If we did that, Cherington wouldn't have a report card at all.


Let's see:  Cherington does nothing, the result being no improvement.  On the other hand, that inaction hasn't made the team worse.  Sabean signs five guys who collectively make the Giants worse than a year ago.  Yet Cherington's the bad GM?  Are you absolutely sure you're a Pirates fan?

As Greenweenie said - If we gave points for doing nothing, Cherington woulld win this thing in a landslide.

Dave's probably right, but I count four teams. I'll go 2.5 for Kahlne.



One for Urina or whatever.



I may be behind on somebody.



Maybe if Ben gets a bed down at the Sunday Mission, somebody will give him something.

The Reds get a big, fat 0 from me for Garcia.



Which is about what I'm giving the Pirates for having Huntington. Why don't we just forfeit?
