Mike you are correct on some points. No, they have a great record before he came. Yes, I will scream about it. Why? It's the apathy I can't stand of the vast majority of the so called fans here at USF. Instead of getting a team that was lackluster and unenthused about playing fired up by a fan who wanted them to, they would rather tell the fan to stop his support. It WAS uncalled for the player to address the fan. Her job is to control her team and get them fired up. It's the catchers job as field leader to do so. To have 'rabbitt ears" listenening to a fan ramble on and on is an indication she is not in the game. I have been around and in baseball long enough to know about the "curse." It is a hard habit to break. She needs to be in the game and that I blame the coach for not stepping in. If Erickson was there this 'incident' would not have happened. The man knows ball. That's why he is what he is. And as for rabid fans, the Brooklyn Dodgers had one of the most rabid fan base there ever was, and they were champions. One fans over zealousness does not constitute a verbal inquisition from a player. And if he was out of line, the umpire would have taken care of the situation. My main objection was and is is the fan, the person and the attitude. We never will be where we want to if the spirit is quenched! You and I both know that. Just look at football. We should have filled that place every time. Oh well. What's the old saying about beating a dead horse!
