It's hard to root for a team full of lousy players, with a shitty coach.
We are all slightly guilty of wanting 'our team' to win, to use the sports term, and I've always voted for my team, my folks are hard core Democrats, me too, never voted for a republican or third party. I voted with a firm conviction last November, and although I didn't get my hopes up too high, the team has let the fans down.

And the cheerleaders, boy oh boy, they look worn out and old. Exactly WHO is our team coach? Precisely WHAT is the problem out there on the field? Is this baseball, football, or basketball? And what's with that screwy scoreboard, are we winning or losing? And why does a wiener and a beer cost so freakin' much?

I'm just not too thrilled about this upcoming season.

5. OK...Then Who Coaches?
We're stuck with these players until their contracts expire in 2009...so if a change is needed, then it must be the coach...and who?

Now please consider a coach has to motivate, not antagonize. Must be able to organize and see the game from many different perspectives. Is there such a coach on our team we don't see? It's an honest query. I'm curious for the responses.

6. We need to weed out the scrubs and get some real team players.
The will to win means everything.

8. Pete Rose knows!
"I bet on my team to win every night because I love my team, I believe in my team,"
Rose said. "I did everything in my power every night to win that game."


Maybe 'our team' is following suit? :shrug:

A tired metaphor, and tired complaining.
