The same can't be said for Leyland. A lot of it, I suppose, has to do with the comfort level of the Tiger players because of their contracts.<BR/>CaputoPat Caputohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05102662407927366439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29764383.post-60416098358636725912008-08-28T08:21:00.000-04:002008-08-28T08:21:00.000-04:00I'd rather be an Indian fan than a fan of these qu...I'd rather be an Indian fan than a fan of these quitters. Watch how hard the team plays for Eric Wedge every single night. Mr. I's group of over-paid schlubs is one of the biggest disgraces in pro sports.

The down side you might have to reduce payroll to reflect season tickets sales through the winter for the following year. I still be a Tiger fan over an Indian fan because of Mr.I.

Please don't tell me about tradition.<BR/><BR/>If they can get a call right with technology, do it.
