Thank God that's over - 2018 Season edition

[connja]

2018 Season was absolutely brutal for fans to endure.    Some random thoughts:

 1.  Didn't expect they would make the playoffs, but never expected something like this.  Was just hoping for some important games in Aug and didn't even make it til June.

2. Disappointing return on trade assets.

3. Some mild excitement about the team committing to a rebuild.  Especially investment in international market - but proof will be in the puding! 

4.  Am OK with the idea of letting Dan come back to direct the rebuild.  He's had some success in this space before, and finaly seemed to convince ownership it's time.  We'll get a sense quickly as signing Victor Victor would bring a lot of confidence he can do this.

5. I think Buck did an amazing job here - should go down as one of our better managers.  But it was time for a new voice as we move into this new phase. 

6.  Adam Jones is an all-time Oriole.   I look forward to reading an Adam Jones appreciation thread.
