I said it's not about winning and losing per se. It's about the effort not being put in to try. I can accept my team losing if I know it is doing everything it can to win, or is executing some discernible plan to win in the future. The Giants have made passive minimalist efforts to win and have no clear plan what they are doing other than trying to fleece fans at their ballpark with the illusion they are trying to win.
The whole organization is dishonest, and I'm beginning to think those who pin it on Charles Johnson may be correct, a position I have rejected up until now.
Horses—t on Charles Johnson. He’s been a part of the ownership group for a long time, including when they spent. Further, the head of the group is his son Greg Johnson. And Larry Baer is still running the show. As he has since McGowan’s days.
Charles Johnson is an easy mark for his political contributions. Which are irrelevant to his ownership role. (FTR, I certainly don’t like his political contributions. But they are legal. He’s also donated boatloads of money to good causes.) Especially given that the team is perhaps the most progressive organization in MLB.
And “the whole organization is dishonest “ is one of the more absurd statements I’ve seen on this board.”
