It's been fun. We seem to have found common ground with point. Your analogy was right on with how things occured, only I still blame the parents of the pup for never takeing the time to do right by the pup. At some point the pup is to blame, but the initial lack of sense that the parents failed to instill certainly contributed to the mistakes made by the pup.

I like Porter, but don't like this team enough to be confident right now. There batch of bad signings, trades and lack of draft picks have made the rotation thin and the player old. That limits Porter too much for him to have the impact desired.

They needed to keep every pick that was traded, every player they gave away along with said picks, and sign/resign the right players. They failed.
