Its not that this team they are putting out there now lacks heart….its just with the exception of 2 or 3 of them in the lineup…they lack major league ability..

not a big jerry fan, but it really isn’t his fault this team went into the season with a crappy plan A and no plan B yet now we’re down to plan D or worse.

Jerry The Clown and Omar the Great have to go..Today. not tomorrow not after the all star break not next season today…The Brooklyn Cyclones would have a better record and play with more heart then this pitiful squad.

I wouldn’t say Pelfrey sucks, I would say his defense sucks. He gets the ground balls that should be outs, but players like Castillo make errors, and players like Wright don’t rush throws when they should. Put Pelfrey on another team that actually makes plays in the field, and his ERA would be at least a full run better.

I seems to be coming more and more clear that all these injuries are pretty serious, and the organization always knew they were, they just didn’t want ticket sales to drop. They are lying to the fans, and it will come back to haunt them. They are destroying the trust of the fans, and that ultimately destroys the fan base. I’m discusted with this oganization. I feel like I’ve been tricked into buying tickets in a bait and switch scheme.

I don’t see how that would matter. Sure, it would help to get good pitching, but if this team can’t score any runs, what’s the difference? Might as well lose 8-0 instead of 2-0.

What stinks is that Pelfrey is a contact pitcher and needs to have good defense behind him to get outs and win games. You could make an argument that if Wright throws a little harder to get Kemp out, and Castillo doesn’t make that error, it might have been a successful outing. Pelfrey should try to go back to being a power pitcher to strike people out because with this atrocious defense behind him, he won’t have much of a chance.

It isn’t all Jerry’s fault, and he shouldn’t be fired over it, but he should probably go. I’d like to see Oberkfell get a shot at it. Seems like one of those steady guys who can operate without the schtick.

Lets just be truthful. The team as currently constituted sucks. We are one of the 3 or 4 worse teams in the NL with the current roster. Now that is the truth.

So Jerry, you are saying consistent good starting pitching (which we DO NOT have) will be our key. Thanks, so basically you are saying we are screwed.
