You never liked the move to get Cole. That's the real issue
That has nothing to do with it. You have never heard me complain about that move since before this time last year. You are grasping at straws for some reason. Look at what I told Crawler earlier in this thread. I told him we would win this game because I thought Cole would pitch well.

That being said we did give up a lot for him and we are paying a lot for him so therefore I expect an ace to show up in the postseason. What is wrong with that?

Was Morris serious in making this claim or tongue in cheek?
Obviously tongue in cheek. At least that Is how I took it when I first read it. He certainly knows what happened to us last year at this time.

Hey guys, it is the Rangers stinking it up today. There is no use taking it out on each other.

He is no more annoying than he has been in the past. The difference today is we are all on edge because of the terrible way this team is playing. I just think it would be wise and fair to keep that in mind when responding to someone.

Really wondering why Deikman made the roster.

I try to never do that except today Crawler pushed it to the limit. We don't need trolls on this board.

Grasping at straws???? I am not a stew grasped. Just an opinion reading your posts a long time. I respect much what you present but I still think you believed it was too heavy a price to pay and it might be if we lose this window as Diek once again struggles

I have complained about the offense just as much as I have about Cole. What trade am I trying to bash in doing that? I just mean you are assuming a root cause to my complaints that just isn't there. If my memory serves me you used to do the same thing about my complaints about Wash a few years back.

I think you are guessing at the root cause behind some complaints and you are grabbing ahold of something that simply isn't so. Maybe grasping at straws wasn't the right term. Maybe shooting in the dark or some such term would have been more appropriate.

10-0 is pretty sad tho.

No re Wash. I liked him in clubhouse but he played favorites and would not play Profar. Terrible bench manger but great 3B coach. I made a point and you disagreed. So I am reading you wrong re Cole. Well ok. He had a bad game and has not been great 2nd half overall. We all hoped for more and he did not deliver

It made no sense to go with Diekman to me.
Not even on the roster. Banny could have been gone to Holland to eat up innings and pull Hamels earlier. Oh well. Speculation is 20/20.
