Phillies GM: Our Fans 'Don't Understand the Game': Hey, Philadelphia Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr., the team's 19-28 record stinks and fans would like to see two of your top pitching prospects now at Double A. What do you think about that? "They don't understand the game. They don't understand the process. There's a process. And then they bitch and complain because we don't have a plan. There's a plan in place and we're sticking with the plan. We can't do what's best for the fan. We have to do what's best for the organization so the fan can reap the benefit of it later on. That' the truth."
Just his luck to be named after the wrong sandwich in a town that runs on Cheez Whiz.
Where is Weedy McSmokey anyway? He moved from Ontario to Philly and promptly disappeared from our midst.
(Not that disappearances and basement imprisonments are unusual in that part of the country. There is definitely something in the wooter down there.)

Which stands as a reminder that when no one understands something except you, it's always good to double-check and make sure you're not the one who's confused.
