If they had good baseball people running the show instead of Montgomery and his flunkies they would have been in the playoffs for the last two years, at least. Perhaps more and perhaps a world championship. The owners could have been the toast of the town, instead of the clowns they are.They were so afraid to hire a great manager, ( Jim Leland ) who would have had them in the playoffs for both years.
