This post isn't about why Don Fehr should resign however--it is about something I would like him to do before he goes. His ideology hasn't served his constituents interests well in recent decades, regardless he can still leave office on a high note. I prefer this because he's earned a dignified exit.   more »

I don't want to rain on the parades of Marlins and Twins fans--not after everything they've gone through. If you're a fan of these teams, please hit backspace now--it's gonna get ugly here momentarily and you should be out celebrating on your blogs and forums.
