Remember when the last guy had a roster full of guys on their way to the glue factory and cast-offs from the street but still won 17 straight?
He didn't have this version of Goldy. Or Arenado. Or Mikolas. Or Helsley. His young guys weren't playing like Yepez, Donovan and Edman have played for big chunks of this season.
And he won 90 games with that pile of miscreants.
Then we fired him because he had the temerity to point out that wasn't good enough.
**** John Mozeliak.
That's not on Bill Dewitt. Dewitt has his problems, but John Mozeliak's thin skin and frail ego is why Mike Shildt was fired. John Mozeliak is the problem with this organization. He's been given the resources to succeed and squandered them. And after a half-decade of letting his hand-picked window-licking stooge wander the wastelands trying to manage this team, he fell ass-backwards into a career cardinal and loyal organizational soldier who also happened to be an excellent manager.
And he fired him in a fit of pique.
**** John Mozeliak so very, very much.
