Weather is totally ****ed up now. It’s May and LA is cold. Never happened in 20 years here.
Even with the dome, it's supposed to feel like spring on the way there at least.
shameful roster.
getting excited about hot streaks by Sogards and Thorntons and Drurys is just pathetic.
+1hopefully it gets rogers to sell the team

---Ricciardi---
So Ricciardi inherited an awful attendance situation and steadily improved it year after year, until his 2009 when it all fell apart, and he was immediately replaced.
similarly, Anthopolous inherited an awful attendance situation and steadily improved it year after year, until he was unceremoniously dumped due to spending too much of Rogers money on payroll.
Uniquely under Rogers, Shapiro is the first one to inherit an awesome attendance situation, and the first one to oversee a steady year after year decline in attendance. He's managed to oversee a plummet from an elite attendance situation to one of the worst in franchise history, in just 4yrs.
This is an interesting test for Rogers - never before have they shown faith in an FO after experiencing either steep drop in attendance or a steep spike in payroll.
And this is only the start. You gotta think we got at least 3 or 4 more years (after this) of shit attendance.
Unless they plan to spend again.... that could change everything -- because the lack of REAL OF and pitching prospects likely means a long rebuild.
It's crazy that Shapiro has already been here nearly as long as Anthopolous.
Most of the people in this forum are gonna be old farts when this team might be good again.

I would be curious to see a similar analysis for profits and revenue. I suspect Shapiro made Rogers a lot of dough in the first couple years.
But I mean yeah, obviously I hope they can his double-talking risk-averse incompetent ass
