I'm ready for the pain to end. Would be nice to beat them though and possibly hurt their playoff chances. 

Also nothing says fan appreciation night like not having enough bobbleheads for everyone in attendance. We only appreciate you if you can get here early enough before we run out of them. Nice job by our clowns in the front office on that side of things.

That's literally how every giveaway is, a limited number of items for the first however many fans, not sure why you're blowing a gasket about that

That post is far from blowing a gasket. 

I'm not even a baseball fan but I know the Phillies give promotional items out to all fans in attendance. Don't think it's unreasonable to expect a team on "fan appreciation night" to have enough bobbleheads for everyone in attendance. They sure a sh!t can afford it after the ticket increases.

THANK GOD IT ENDS AROUND 9:30PM ON MONDAY,

I'm mostly happy that this damned "Limbo" period will finally be over.

Green & Co should be relieved of their duties no later than by week's end, AFAIC...there is NOTHING to evaluate here.  Groan is as much of a fraud of a HC as Lindy and should be jettisoned, end of story.

It really should be announced no later than tomorrow, but if it takes a little longer than that to happen, so be it.  As long as it HAPPENS.

Fitz needs to play things very carefully over the next few days.  Green and staff (except Sarge) need to go, and Fitz needs to acknowledge that this season was a disappointment and failure.  I don’t want hear any excuses along the lines of “we almost had it,” “we were in it ‘til the last week,” or “if Jack/Nico/Timo had been healthy all year.”  Fitz’s job is now on the line.

Yeah I posted the same sentiments, re:  Fitz admitting that this season was a disappointment, and not making excuses for it.  I honestly believe he'll take ownership of this.  I think it's also fair that he address sticking with Lindy too long and being so radio silent when his team needed him.  He CAN recover from this, starting with being brutally honest about a season gone wrong, and with the right hires, moves, and tweaks Fitz can make this a one-year hiccup, but right now he's going to have his doubters, and he brought a good chunk of that unto himself.  After being quite the fair-haired boy of the 2023 offseason, he's back to having to prove himself to a lot of fans (and I'm sure some media).  

After this game, the offseason thread will probably consist of everyone continuing to vent about the same things; not much will change about that until we start to have actual moves to react to.  But once Groan & Co are booted out, at the least the process/purge will have begun, and it NEEDS to.  It hasn't been easy watching a guy who quickly proved that he had no business being anything more than an interim warm body with the knowledge that he was going to finish out the year no matter what.  

Re:  Sarge, who knows if this is under consideration, but I want him to get the Utica HC gig, and start some on-the-job training in that capacity.  If he needs 2-4 years there, so be it.

No ‘I need to evaluate’. No Tom, you don’t. Send these coaches packing TONIGHT. TO. NIGHT. Also- Fitz WILL be on the pregame. Not that I expect him to say much, but be on the lookout for clues. If he mentions anything about evaluating the coaches, my head may explode.

Greece’s National Soccer team makes it to the round of 16 for the first time in the World Cup.  They lost.  The coach was fired and left behind in Brazil.  That is how swift the coaching staff needs to be fired.

I don't want to hear that sh!t either, but at the same time, it's not like Fitz is going to say "As soon as the game's over, Groan's ass is grass!" or anything like that.  Right now it's more about actions...as long as Groan and his band of clueless men are gone with a few days, I won't care what corporate/GM speak Fitz uttered prior to tonight's game.

He should immediately show himself out if that's his line of thinking.
