The rebuild hasn't started yet.  This was a team built to win.

Exactly! This is not rebuild yet, this is just a poorly put together "contender". I am beyond ready for this team to put the right people in place to conduct a proper rebuild. And I will be fine with losing through a real rebuild, I am not fine with watching this crud with a contenders mentality.

Nobody has a contenders mentality anymore. We just can’t call up a bunch of guys from the minors because they are just not ready, or don’t exist.

We don't know that. We won't know that until ownership gives the OK for a selloff.

Alright OH, question time. 

You're buck and still trying to compete. You have Trumbo coming back soon, but Schoop and Beckham are hurt. How does your lineup and defensive outlook go? Personally, I'm all for Trumbo or Davis trying to play 2B and shifting Schoop to 3B depending on Beckham's timetable.

Will there be peace when I'm done? Can I lay my weary head to rest, and not cry anymore?

I was hoping for the end of my semester. See you at the parade down Pratt into the ballpark.

I don't know.  If the are not going to play competitive baseball might as well amuse us with the spectacle of Trumbo trying to play second base.

If Manny pulls a hammy put the bull at short.

Keeps Pedro at the DH spot, and Trumbo's bat plays in the field.

OK, this joke has been played out enough. Let's get back to real topics.
