The good, the bad & the ugly
The Wild Things' bus pulled out of Consol Energy Park Monday afternoon headed for a six-game trip to the St. Louis area. The bus was carrying plenty of baggage. Much of that was emotional baggage from a season-opening three-game series against the Lake Erie Crushers that could be best described as ugly. In terms of quality of play, it was one of the worst series the Wild Things have ever played. And Lake Erie wasn't much better.The Wild Things can look back on the series and say they should have won two games instead of one. They gave away a win Sunday. Of course, you can just as easily say that Lake Erie should have swept the series had its defense not gift-wrapped a win for Washington on Saturday night.
Amid all the walks, hit batsmen and fly balls that were dropped or lost in the lights, there were some positives signs for Washington. So let's look at what we've learned about this team from three games:
The Good:
-------------
- Grant Psomas can flat-out hit. The ball jumps off his bat like no Washington hitter I've seen since Josh Loggins. If he continues hitting like this, manager Mark Mason will have to move him up in the lineup to either the No. 3 or No. 4 spot.
- Amid all the walks, there were a few pitchers whose performances might have gotten overlooked. Opening night starter Craig Snipp was impressive the first time through the Lake Erie batting order and had eight strikeouts in 4 1/3 innings. Reliever Matt Maradeo looked more like the guy who put up good numbers in the Chicago Cubs' system than the one who struggled with the Wild Things last year. Kedrick Martin tossed two shutout innings to get a win Saturday. Even Saturday starter Sean Heimpel and reliever Justin Edwards showed flashes that they could be very good.
- Catcher Kris Rochelle, coming off elbow surgery, had a very good series with three hits in two games and throwing out two basestealers in as many attempts. Rochelle gunned down the Crushers' Jodam Rivera each time. In the Sunday game, Rivera had a huge walking lead and jump at second base with a right-handed batter at the plate. Rochelle's throw was perfect and got to the base well ahead of Rivera.
The Bad:
-----------
- The fielding. Three dropped fly balls of various degrees of difficulty. No excuse. By the way, whatever happened to catching fly balls with two hands?
- The baserunning mistake by Michael Parker that led the Wild Things not scoring on a sacrifice fly to deep center field. Sure, Chris Sidick could have been running faster to home plate, but he should not have needed to sprint like it was an Olympic 100-meter dash final. Parker trying to advance to second base wasn't wise. At least it was a mistake of aggression, which can often be overlooked.
The Ugly:
-------------
- The pitching.
Here are the ugly numbers:
Washington pitchers walked 22 batters in 21 innings. They also hit five batters.
Lake Erie scored 21 runs in the series and 10 of those were batters who reached base via walks.
Nine times in the series, including five times Sunday, Washington pitchers walked the leadoff hitter in an inning.
Almost every pitcher worked from behind in the count. Someone told me Sunday that starter Eric Evans fell behind in the count to all but two of the 17 batters he faced. It wouldn't surprise me if that was true, even when you factor in Evans' six-pitch first inning.
Washington leads the league with its 22 walks allowed. Windy City's pitchers have issued only six walks in four games.
"Pitching-wise, we've got to get better," Mason said Sunday. "We were behind in the count all night. ... That means our pitchers are trying to be too fine and not pitching to contact. Either we're not comfortable with our stuff or we're trying to embarrass every hitter. If we do that at Gateway, in that park, we'll give up 20 runs."
One thing Mason said he saw too much of was breaking balls thrown on 1-0 and 2-1 counts.
Lake Erie also had its pitching problems, giving up 16 walks.
"Both clubs have entirely new pitching staffs," Lake Erie manager John Massarelli pointed out. "One year, when I managed with Mace as my pitching coach, we had the same situation and the first few games of the season were just like that. You're basically just running guys out there until you figure out what roles to put them in."

Not only are the Wild Things putting a terrible product on the field, they are also joining a growing
number of industries that think the taxpayers owe them a living. This nice little deal with the ’tourism’
folks smells somewhat like a dead fish to me.
It’s all above board (they say) but it doesn’t, in my opinion, pass the “smell test”. I know how they justify
their position, but it’s REALLY a stretch to say the phony grass will aid tourism. Something REALLY stinks about entire thing. When, or I should say IF, I can find out exactly what stinks, look for the ‘pucky’ to hit the biggest fan I can rent!
I hope everybody reads the Letter to the Editor from Bob Sabot that was in Sunday’s O-R. If you haven’t,
it is worth while to click on the Opinion section and read it. It spells out some of the broken promises the Wild Things have made to the fans. They have also practiced sophistry with me at times. I’m tired of the stuff these people shell out! I also have written a letter but it has not been published yet. Perhaps the Editor will choose not to, I don’t know.
I hope that you all remember that the fans overwhelmingly decided they did not want this turf, and the Wild Things management has overwhelmingly decided to slap you in the face! They care less what you
want, only about what THEY want! Don’t forget, IT’S ALL ABOUT THEM – THE HELL WITH YOU!!!
They will feed you BS up to you ears, smiling all the while BUT, watch you back.
The opening day BS was so sickening to watch that I almost puked. Of course we all know why all the muck faces were so happy – they just managed to worm what they term a ‘loan’ of sorts from the local
political hacks! The ‘tourism’ cronies, or whatever they are, will be getting a couple of cars to use. I guess they will be supplied by the Wild Things. Not to worry, you will be given a chance to win a car at CEP, probably a 1910 Maxwell with no motor. Lets not also forget good OL’ Gov. Rendell will be kicking in some of your cash too.
So, what do the fans get out of all this “sweetheart’ kiss each others rear-ends deal? WE GET SCREWED!
Lovely green carpet instead of the grass we wanted. Also, we get to finance it. When this lovely green carpet wears out, which it will, where do you think they will go for money for a new one? – The ‘TOURISM’ folks, of course. Where will these ‘tourism’ folks get the money? I don’t need to tell you that, you already know the answer.
I strongly urge you to tell the Wild Things to put their turf ‘where the sun doesn’t shine’ (I mean the storage shed of course). That’s the same message they gave you when they ignored your wishes.
Boy it must be great to have political friends, no matter how bad they smell. they got the money!
We got the shaft!!
Wild Things Win – You lose. So, what’s new?
Something REALLY stinks here in Mayberry, and I think it’s coming from North Franklin Township – perhaps not!
Ron Wilson
BTW: Beware the next time you park at CEP. The handicapped was being ‘patrolled’ by the N. Franklin Police. Three units. That IS a high crime area you know. The Wild Things have some sort of ‘deal’
with them too! I guess the Rent–a–Cops folks can’t handle the large throngs in the parking lot.. Do you suppose the Wild Things should just have one set of paid security forces instead of two? They just might
be able to finance their own phony grass and tell the ‘tourism’ folks they don’t
want their money, -------naw!!!!!!!
PLEASE REMEMBER OUR POW/MIA’s SOME STIIL BEING HELD IN PRISON CAMPS
The tourism board is a joke. Who would vote yes for that? How about sprucing up the downtown area to make out of towners want to come there? It is a shame that these tourism people made this decision.
TURN DOWN THE VOLUME ON THE PA SYSTEM FOR PETE'S SAKE!
wasn't this thread about the BASEBALL GAMES and the team. Look it's simple, if you don't like what goes on, then simply quit going and quit bitching about it. save the blog for actual baseball talk.
Here's some good baseball talk. Trinity High has better skill and fundamentals than the Wild Things.
I bet the teams playing in the WPIAL games at CEP won't drop 3 flyballs, which says a lot about the quality of the product the Wild Things are putting on the field. I had the misfortune to attend the game Sunday and it will be the last time. I've seen 10 yr old kids with better fundamentals than the Wild Things. Garbage baseball IMO.
Chris, on the baseball front, here's another "ugly" item:
Lake Erie's 7-8-9 hitters reached base 18 times in 38 plate appearances. That's ugly.
wasn't this thread about the BASEBALL GAMES
This blog is about the Wild Things. IMHO, that means ANYTHING about the Wild Things including their operations. If you don't like it - don't log on!
Bob in E. Washington
I have an idea. Give the Wild Things "free from the taxpayers" toupee turf when they win the Frontier League Championship.
Also, isn't being one of the Wild Things radio announcers put that person in a conflict of interest position when voting to use the toursism tax for the benefit of the Wild Things. If all of the persons with a conflict of interest had abstained from the voting on the toupee turf, the vote probably would not have passed.
Thriftyone are you talking about ethics? In Washington County politics already?
Man are you ever living in a dream world. You simply just need to get more rest
and think about what you just said! Ethics in Washington County politics? What a
novel idea that is. Do you really think that could ever really happen, especially
when it comes to the most important issue in Washington County history, the TURF!!
I don’t know exactly how this thing, I guess you could call it a loan, is structured. I believe
the portion contributed by the tourism jokers is supposed to be repaid in some manner with
some other considerations also involved. The Wild Things are to provide a couple of cars for
them to use. IF that is true, I’ll bet my corncob pipe the Bob Gregg will be driving one of them.
However, a large portion of the funds is to be a grant from “Fast Eddie” Rendell AKA: the taxpayers, us!
Ain’t it just great to have friends like the Washington County Commissioners, Bob Gregg, and Tim (I’ll vote myself a pay raise) Solobay? Probably, but I’m more picky about my friends than the Wild Things.
All of my friends can be trusted not to do underhanded things in the middle of the night while I’m sleeping.
At least one of the above mentioned can’t say that! Also, my friend don’t redistribute other peoples money.
“Conflict of interest”? I’ll bet no one in the local yokel government ever thought somebody would even
notice it.. Interesting thought my man.
Ron Wilson
BTW: Why don’t we go ahead and GIVE the Wild Things the friggin plastic grass and all stay home and listen to Bob Gregg tell us how nice it is. He can also tell us that ‘tonight’s paid attendance is….ZERO.’
WILD THINGS WIN, WILD THINGS WIN!! Part 1
Well, the ‘turf war’ is over and the Wild Things have defeated their own fan base. How about that,
sports fans! They kick their own customers square in the groin while they smile in their face Did you happen to feel the knife enter your back? Of course it is all very legal and, to use their term, “above board” Sure it was. How many of you knew seven days ago about this upcoming vote? Probably ensconced snuggly, in small print, in some part of the Public Notices section of the O-R.
That’s the face of the new ‘transparency’ BS the government is feeding its subjects (us) these days.
With Franni Williams being an attorney you can bet the family store that it’s all very legal indeed. Perhaps
not so transparent, but VERY legal to be sure.
I am not so upset about losing the ‘turf war’ as I am about the complete and total disregard of the fans wishes. Since I was the one that brought the issue before them, along with a petition from the fans, common courtesy would dictate that they would have least spoken to me about before announcing that it was ‘fait acomplis’ In plain English “You’ve been screwed!’. The Wild Things people have no class. I swear they thought the Lord said “ass” and they took all they could – just like they do with everything else.
One thing that I must give them credit for is the fact that they were very” above board” when it came to being dismissive of your wishes. Crap, all you do is keep their fat bellies full. I think that from now on we should let Bob Gregg feed them! Don’t worry Bob, piranhas will eat almost anything, except perhaps politicians – even piranhas have standards for Gods sake! I you ever noticed how many politicians are also – attorneys?
Anyway, the season is just underway and I’m sure you will get screwed again in some way before it’s over.
Wasn’t that parking deal a real pleasure for us all? You know I’ve been going to going sports venues for
over sixty years. I’ve been to darn near every major league park and pro football stadium. I thought there was nothing I had not seen BUT, wouldn’t you just know it, the Wild Things Franni Williams pulled one
I’d NEVER even dreamed of. She had people at the entrance asking your name! WHAT? Who the hell ever
had to give your name to enter the parking lot? Holy dog pucky, Batman! I was so shocked that I actually gave them my name. I figured that if some one was asking your name, then there just HAD to be somebody, someplace ready to kick your butt too! I didn’t want to have to hurt any one so I moved on. Seriously, that is the most outrageous thing I have ever heard of.
Go to Part 2
WILD THINGS WIN - Part 2
So, it should not be difficult to figure people that behave in this way are NOT exactly into treating the customers with a whole lot of respect. No wonder they disregarded your signatures on a petition. To be sure, they WILL listen to you, pretend to care (they even fooled me), and forget about you, and your concerns, as soon as you are out of their sight. Chris Dugan knows full well how classless this organization
can be. I hope none of you have forgotten the Frontier League Championship game at Chicago where he was treated so poorly. Took the WT weeks to issue a weak apology! NEVER say your wrong about anything seems to be the WT mantra!
As far as I give a crap the Wild Things can eat that phony grass for lunch! I’ve had it them. They don’t care anything about us, just their political hack friends. How many of you think these guys pay their way into CEP. How many of them do you think pay for their drinks while they sit in the cool ‘flight deck”?
The Wild Things whine and moan about the amount of rent and insurance they have to pay. Well,
nobody forced them into the deal. They complain about how the stadium was not built to the highest standards – is that our fault? It’s called the cost of doing business Wild Things. If you did any market research before entering into this venture, it must have been as defective as idea of treating your fans with some respect.
So, after just a few games I’m tired of the Wild Things serving of ‘buffalo chips’ I am returning to my pre-season hibernation mode.If I NEVER again see a Wild Things game, that will STILL be too soon for me.
The bal*s these folks have is unmatched in the history of Washington County. I think Bob Gregg should make a note of that. Wild Things Win – Fans Lose I’m outa’ here!
Ron Wilson
OLD SOLDERS NEVER DIE BUT, THEY KNOW WHEN TO QUIT!
PLEASE SAY A PRAY FOR OUR MILITARY PEOPLE AND POW/MIAs
BTW: Why don’t we go ahead and GIVE the Wild Things the friggin plastic grass and all stay home and listen to Bob Gregg tell us how nice it is. He can also tell us that ‘tonight’s paid attendance is….ZERO.’
What do you want to bet that even if there was not single soul in the stands, attendance would be announced at at least 2,000?
3 more errors through 4 innings tonight. Psomas & Banks have HRs for WT
Thank goodness Ron, glad to hear you are finally hanging it up! Your ever tiring and constant complaining on this blog has grown old. One could never begin to list all the things you have complained about, I'm sure you have covered everything from A-Z. It became quite apparent that the only right way to do things was the Ron way! At what point did you become so omnipotent that everything you say/print becomes gospel and all should follow your musings.
If I honestly held as much contempt for the entire Wildthing Experience as you so eloquently depict with your every entry on this blog, I would hope to find another experience that would give me some source of enjoyment and pleasure in life instead of subjecting myself to such a miserable, self-righteous existence.
I work for the Wildthings and do not agree with many of the things done in the past, or things being done presently, or probably things that will be done in the future, however, this is simply baseball~ nothing done here is going to cause or solve any of the world's problems or lead to a path for world peace."Get a Life" - if the situation is so unbearable that you feel that uncomfortable with any part of the Wildthing experience - GET A NEW HOBBY!
I am also a season ticket holder (yes I paid $800 for my 2 seats) I did not receive them free because I work there. It always amazes me that you and a few other season ticket holders feel the Wildthings "owe" you something and that you should be treated a little better than the average fan that purchases their tickets at the gate and that your complaints carry a slight more importance. I don't expect to be held to a higher standard or think my opinion carries more weight than any other fan, the only thing the Wildthings "owe" me is a guarantee that my 2 seats will be there every night!
John
John,
What got your shorts in a twist? You sound moronic enough to be a Wild Things employee.
You don’t have enough brains to do something better with your life other than to post stupid
comments about a person I doubt you know. Having employees like you is part of the problem
at CEP. They hire idiots that do stupid things. Sir, you seem over-qualified for your work. The Wild Things, now that you have obviously reached your level of incompetence, should kick you up one more notch to Chief Moron in charge of public relations.
I have read, and so have many others, Ron’s comments and know his complaints to be valid in most instances. The different thing about him is he has the courage to say what he thinks, and use his real name.
It is interesting to note that you do not! How do we even know your name IS John, or is it Ross?
I have a suggestion for you John, or is it indeed Ross, or Dutdh?? Why don’t YOU get a life and stop reading this blog if it so offensive to you. Actually YOU are the offensive one because you stoop to personal attacks on a guy that doesn’t even know who you are. I you had read Ron’s remarks without so much fire in your eyes, you would see that he never makes a personal attack on any single individual.
The Internet is just full of folks that can’t find a good response to what is stated so they resort to your
weak, and personal sort of tactics. I guess we should all just “shoot the messenger”
You are a microcosm of what is wrong with the Wild Things. They can’t handle criticism and they think
they are perfect. The Wild Things are NOT God’s gift to Washington no matter what they may think.
The more I see how the Wild Things are and the low quality of people they hire, the more I love my pet
rattlesnake.
Bob Henderson in E. Washington
Ron Wilson,
Glad to hear your wisdoms on this blog.
John,
Your comments, being a Wild Things employee, helps to explain the problems the team has in public relations. I think you, John, should be the one to hang it up.
John, you are probably one of the toupee turf advocates.
The good:Ron Wilson
The bad:Jamal
The ugly:John
It's about time the wild things get turf. That's a poor excuse for a field right now. You need a boat to play in the outfield. I didn't know grass could grow under water until I saw that outfield.
Looks like the WT have turned their employees loose on Ron.
John is just one of those “cyber assassins” employed by other people when they
can’t defend their actions. Note that the WT things have never fully explained themselves’
fully, or even partially. They prefer to let there usher nazi, or whoever John is,
to do their dirty work for them.
Ron is right about all the things he says – the WT have NO class.
“The more shrill you’re your cry, the more wrong you are”
The WT are becoming VERY shrill using some kiss butt employee.
The Washington WT – classless AND clueless!
Laura T
"Typical Washingtonians...crybaby for years that there's nothing to do here. Then, somebody brings something really good, and the Washingtonians pick away at the few trouble spots, ignoring all the good things about it. Some things never change."
Ron, be on the lookout for well dressed men in black SUV's. Can't put anything past certain people in this town. No way to defend what they did here. Just no way at all. Must be the NEw Attitude thing1
For the record I do not make a habit of reading the blog, and as a rule, Wild Things' staff (full time) are not to participate. I was, however, Ron Wilson asked me to take a look at the good, the bad & the ugly.
I do not know who "John" is and I assure you s/he is not speaking on behalf of the Wild Things' organization.
Ron and I speak on a regular basis, and he is vocal with me about his thoughts. We have agreed to disagree; I personally like, admire, and respect Ron Wilson.
I am sorry the people who participate on this blog think so little of the Washington Wild Things. I assure you, we do not try to create angst in your lives, and we do appreciate your patronage and support.
That being said, I will not enter the fray to defend the organization or to argue with any of you about the staff, management, ownership, or the turf issues...that would be futile.
I close by saying the Wild Things appreciate your patronage.
John seems to need to release some sort of frustration before he explodes this pea sized brain.
Perhaps Bob Henderson can sent his pet rattlesnake to the Wild Things office for him to play with to play with.
No wonder the attendance is falling at the House of Idiots!.
So the mayor of the most blighted city in southwestern Pa. doesn’t have anything to do but
read sports blogs. Meanwhile, in beautiful downtown Washington drug dealers and prostitutes are roaming about Highland Avenue spreading crime and disease like mustard on a hot dog. Not to worry about that Mr. Mayor it’s been going on for years right under your nose while your reading sports blogs. Got to give you credit though, you can read.
Perhaps you should call Andy and Barney and have them make a 2-minute patrol of the area. You will
most likely find them over at Aunt Bea’s place eating rhubarb pie. Sure hope Opie can get past that delightful hot spot out on West Chestnut Street without stepping on a dirty needle.
Maybe you should be arranging a free guided tour of the fantastic business section of downtown Washington. That should really wow them. It has been that beautiful for about 25 years now and small wonder that there is so much a problem with traffic control. Those citizens falling all over themselves looking to the empty store windows is really a sight.
Mr. Mayor you have to be the most intelligent, and observant, mayor on the history of Washington. That just may qualify Washington for some of that tourism tax money. Have you checked into that? You make us so proud.
Yes Mr. Mayor you are correct. Nothing ever changes in Washington
Psomas & Grandstrand had errors early last night. Batters loved GCS Ballpark--
Banks (2), Psomas & Sidick all homere. Banks had a team record tying six rbi in the game.
Good start from Neitz (7 ip, 3 er, 5 h, 4 w, 5 k)
To The Wild Things office.person that said this.
I am sorry the people who participate on this blog think so little of the Washington Wild Things. I assure you, we do not try to create angst in your lives, and we do appreciate your patronage and support.
Now that I’ve managed to stop laughing - Sure, we all really believe that one. I suppose that’s why your good friend Bob Gregg at WJPA crawled into bed with the Wild Things and they all woke up with a whole hand full of the taxpayers cash. By the why Bob, why don’t you just go away, we can read about the game in the paper and not land up with a bad case of nausea. We all understand very clearly where you stand. You have made that perfectly clear. How does it feel to help the Wild Things do something that you know the fans don’t want? Nice way to ingratiate yourself with us. Even better for you and your Wild Things friends
There just has to be a small time radio promotion waiting for you near Podunk Iowa. We will take up a collection
just for the purpose of sending your hinnie out for a tour. A one way ticket to be sure. NOT paid for by the innocent
taxpayers that are still in the dark about what just happened to them. Take Bill DiFabio with you – you owe us that much at the very least.
It was good to see the Wild Things finally score a lot of runs yesterday. Psomas has been as far up as triple A ball, I think. He seems able to adjust to the rather poor Frontier League pitching after only seeing a few pitches. Ernie Banks is looking pretty good too. He is definitely an improvement over Nathan Messner.
Bill
I am going to post this even though it is going to make Ron Wilson very unhappy with me.
I know this man personally and know him to be a straight shooter. He is honest sincere, and loyal.
It seems that the Wild Things, in order to try to discredit him, tried to resort to a sort of Internet thuggery.
Nice try WT – sort of backfired didn’t it? It is really hard to think of anything more rotten than that. The WT are showing what they are all about – THEMSELVES.
Out of respect for Ron’s wishes, I am not going to say all the things I would like to say about how the Wild Things have shown their contempt for him because he became the ‘voice’ for those of us that signed the
petition about the turf. I wish we would have given him more visible support so that he would not have been subjected to the to what has happened. I, for one, am very sorry Ron about what has happened to you. Despicable people do despicable things. If anybody really thinks that “John” is not a Wild Things thug
employee then call me – I have a couple of bridges to sell you.

So Barney Fife goes running into the Sheriff’s office yelling “ANDY, ANDY, DID YOU HEAR THE BIG NEWS?
No Barn, calm down and tell me what’s going on.
Andy you ain’t gonna believe but the Mayor knows how to read and write on the sports blogs.
Well Barn that IS a bit shocking, but I believe you. Now, can he do the really, really tough job?
What’s that Andy?
Well Barn to be considered to be a big time politician you have to be able to get money from certain other
peoples pockets into yours.
Do you mean like the Wild Things did Andy?
Well, yes Barn that would be a good example I suppose.
So just how do you think he could that Andy?
Barn, why doesn’t he send a busload of West Virginians to downtown Washington to show them the antique parking meters on our empty streets? See that Bob Gregg guy will be so impressed with this historic sight that he will shovel money at the Mayor faster he can count it!
Gee Andy that won’t work for two reasons.
What do you mean Barn, it’s perfect!
Andy, I hate to tell you this but the Mayor can’t count AND Washington doesn’t have a baseball team. It’s over yonder in North Franklin Township and Bob Gregg already gave the money it to them.
Well Barn, nothing ever changes in Washington. Just ask the Mayor!
Mayor, why don’t you just stick to presiding over the continuing deterioration of Washington. You are REALLY good at that. You don’t seem to know jack about base. To prove my point – is it a home run
when the puck gets stuck in the goal post with one out and second down and 4 yards to go in the third period. I didn’t think you knew the answer.
The Wild Things are sort of like a cross between the law firm of Dewey, Cheatum, and Howe, and the
Barnhan & Bailey Circus. They are run by at least one lawyer and they have a new huckster line of crap to feed you just about every day. Lately they seem to have branched out into the cyber bulling of those that dare say word in opposition to some of their asinine policies.
They sent a cyber hack out to try to destroy Ron Wilson and it’s just repulsive as it can be. Yea, they deny
the entire thing. Do you believe them? I don’t! Do I believe everything Ron says, yes! I didn’t until I saw the crap that was posted. I completely believe him now. The Wild Things made him look real good when they sent John out to get him. (WE KNOW Wild Things – you didn’t do it – must have been some rogue poster from Alabama).. Gee, that John guy didn’t even get an employee discount on his seats!
Next time you visit the circus notice how closely it resembles the operations at CEP. Even smells about except that the elephant crap at the circus smells better than the bull crap at Consol Energy Park.
I’m sick of their whole act from DiFabio to Protec Auto Glass (God is that ever tiring to listen to) to the K-zone to Cenemark to long lines at concession stands to a PA system that has ear damaging amounts of decibles (I hope somebody sues them for damages on that one) ad nauseam.
Now they think that we should all just love the defective product they are selling. These people sure aren’t hurting for gall. What a load of steer manure.

Lisk played for Gateway last year too. No big deal.
Ron, I will be very happy to know just when you truthfully decide to hang it up. Although sometimes you make sense, you take up too much space and don't really talk about the game which is what we want to read about. I know for myself that you ramble on and on and on and I get tired of looking at you letter, so I've decided not to read them anymore. I don't want to see synthetic turf either but what can we do? Nothing. I go to watch a game whether the Wild Things win or lose. I enjoy baseball and that is why I attend.

Ron Wilson, where are you?
Your not going to let those bastards shot you in back like that are you?
Those slobs have shown us all their true character now. You beat them by exposing how underhanded they are, legally underhanded to be sure – Franni made sure of that, but still underhanded. You didn’t make it so friggin personal.as they did. They knew you had figured out their game and had you cyber assassinated. because they wanted to stifle you from saying more. Please Ron, don’t let them get away with it. Human is human trash, There is no distinction between trash that sells drugs and the trash that legally procures money by using any means possible including political connections – it’s still trash.
I remember how nice you said they were when you presented our petition to them and that you were very optimistic about what they would do.. They were as deceitful then as they are now. You can’t change a leopards spots.
As the Mayor of Washington said in another thread, “nothing ever changes in Washington” You are correct Mayor – nothing changes including the shady, but legal, politics!
If you give up now Ron, those bastards will be more confident than ever that they can screw us again. Next time it will be for even more tax money than this time.
Let us hear your thoughts about the crap they pulled on you. What do you think they will try to do next?
We can all bet there is more of the same coming. It was so easy this time, using Mr. Gregg as their hack,
they won’t be able to resist doing it again. The sort of thing is addictive as crack cocaine
Too spoofed to give my name! Who knows what would happen if I did.
I really can't believe all of you nasty people. You have so many hateful things to say. Bob Gregg is a nice guy. I am guessing you are to blind to see it Bill. By the way Bill why don't you just cut the false stuff. Spreading things that are NOT true, thats what high school is for. Maybe you are there but I don't that, you are probably one of those old farts that complain about everything in the book.
The person who said about Bob Gregg giving money. How do you know that is true, do you check his check book or stock him or something, seriously there goes another rumor.
Just knock it off. It is childish and uncalled off.
