I guess being able to have this kind of conversation at all in late September is a nice change, but it still doesn't help that much

My opinion of the bleachers is off and on. I absolutely love it but I can't stand some of the people that it attracts. If it is a rival series, you better bring your fighting gloves because every verbal disagreement turns into blows now. The last game I went to in the Bleachers was the Mets game and all the Met fans were going "Jo-say" like a hundred times so all the Cubs fans started "Whose Gay" a hundred times and then fistacuffs broke out. My dad is friends with an orginial bleacher bum, and I have talked with him many of times about that era and he said while people were still getting hammered like crazy, many good baseball conversations went on, and arguments about what coaches should do. None of that happens today, it is about the whore showing her tits and the girl in the cowboy hat, or the dude that is about to fall over.

Ned has mismanaged a lot of things this year, Turnblow has been god awful most of the time.
