Bottom line - ownership matters; local ownership matters more. That's what we have, and since I couldn't afford to own the team myself, then I guess I have to put up with things I'm not particularly fond of (I mean, Rapids wasn't my choice for a name, but I got over it!). Just lets hope people don't have hissy fits and stay away because they don't like the changes; otherwise it might not matter when the Coventry Road Chamber Music Hall opens up (get my point?). Let's support the team...

The player was screaming at the ump" what a bush league call" , the ump said where do you think you are this is the not the majors get use to it because you are playing in the bush leagues.

Changes like this, if in fact official, & coming at a time & in manner like this smells of bush league. Do we have new owners or not? Guess we will find out at the Press Conference.
