After they lost their third game in the series against the Yanks, I sent this e-mail to Ryan Roy, who is as diehard a Red Sawks fan as they come...

"My condolences. Your boys let you, and everyone else down, big time.

And why the hell can't you get a manager who knows when to take

pictures out and put them in? Mendoza should have been in there for

three innings. It was obviously going to be one of those games, and

if he gives up a couple of runs, so what. He got yanked early, and

that's what opened up the floodgates."

I may have been a bit premature.
