while I was parroting the attitude of Chuck Armstrong, not my own attitude. He's happy if soccer Mom's enjoy a day in the park with their kids. I'm only happy if we put competitive baseball first. I don't care if we configure Safeco like a maze, I just want a team of ballplayers who can compete commensurate with the resources available to this ownership group. I want them to be a BASEBALL CLUB, not just a club. Armstrong wants to run it like a club. If the dues fall a bit short, cut back on expenditures. That'll fix it, he thinks. Meanwhile an attendance of 3 million turns into 1.2 million over a decade-plus. But hey, according to him he's an astute businessman.
