Let the changes begin

RSTN reported before tonight’s game against the White Sox that Angel Berroa has been sent down to Wichita and Andres Blanco has been called up to take his place. Perhaps this was a result of the team meeting last night. I hope it was. It’ll send a message to guys that they don’t automatically have a spot on this team.

I still can’t help but wonder why Mike Sweeney had to be the one to blow up about a team that isn’t hitting, pitching, playing defense–and can I add hustling, while at the same time saying that Pena or Baird are not to blame. How can they not be? If our manager and GM are not responsible for making changes in personnel when they see guys not hitting, pitching, playing defense, and hustling, then who is?

I understand why Sweeney did what he did and said what he did. If our manager and GM were doing their job, he wouldn’t have needed to do or say anything.
