Winker to Seattle

Bob has to go.  He's using this team as his personal cash machine, selling off player assets and slashing payroll to pocket it.  He's rich, but he's not competitive baseball owner rich, so he needs to take this saved money to make a profit.  He's not cut out for the business.  Meanwhile, we get another 4-5 year rebuild and are encouraged to be patient while they rebuild.  It's tough to rebuild when the talent you sell off is used to line the owner's pocket rather than accumulate young talent.

Sell the team, Bob.  Sell it as soon as you can.

I wonder if Bob or any of his family will have the nerve to show their faces at GABP? I don't boo our own team but if other people boo them out of the stadium if they come out on the field I wouldn't blame them, and I'm going to the opening game.
