Burn The Tree

From a recent private e-mail thread after the M's June 12 extra inning victory over the Cubs which has sparked misguided discussion of the playoffs...read from bottom up...

Yeah, I figured you'd come to your senses...

Any hope the team gives the fan base on the field will divert the team from making the hard decisions it must make.  I advocate total breakdown on the field leading to a scorched earth policy for the organization, much like burning down the forest to promote rich soil for new growth.

I'd love it if Ichiro used my comments as an extension of his 'roots/branches/tree/water' manifesto:

"We must burn down the tree to promote rich soil for new growth..."  something like that...

Vidro, Suxson, WhoreAssYHo, and Weaver need to go away...now.  

How bad could the M's use Raffy Soriano right now?  Good gawd, that one stings...

God, I hope so.  Anyone other than that awful Richie Suxson...

They're good.  You see Vidro run the bases?  Why the f--- is he on the team?  I'd rather have Burke at DH right now.  In less than a month Adam Dunn will be a Mariner anyway..
