Comments
PA should "man-up" & apologize to the fans. He does'nt have a clue that the fans want to hear from him. Mostly that he is selling the team to a baseball management team with ties to Baltimore.Even the "prospects are doing poorly , what a mess!

McPhail was right about one thing...The Os had to step it up in the scouting department.
So far, any extra money shifted to that area is just as much a waste as every other investment of the past.
