      <![CDATA[All the talk about Sweeny V. Beltran, bad drafts, trading Dye and Damon for nothing and the local media giving excuses for it just tell me how bad an owner David Glass is and why he should sell the team to someone who might want to win.

      <![CDATA[The amusing thing is that now people talk about Beltran being humorous and somewhat of a leader in the clubhouse. I think that has little to do with him being in NY and more to do with Beltran feeling he needed to fall in line behind Sweeney.<br><br>Plain and simple, Sweeney is white Christian who appeals to traditional midwest sensabilities, so that's who they signed.

      <![CDATA[I'll just point out two things. One, Allard Baird, uber-scout that he was, rated Beltran's arm as below average for CF by 2004, so he didn't consider him a 5-tool guy anymore (let's forget for a moment that he was wrong).

      <![CDATA[Sweeney is a great guy - no doubt. I for one miss asking people, especially girls, who their favorite Royal is, and hearing them say "Mikes Weeney"... but all that aside - what a colossal screw up.
