It actually makes sense to me why he and his advisors would have decided it was a concession worth making now given economic conditions. But why would he have not prepared the ground, carefully discussing it with environmental groups and the EPA heads, at least so as not to produce stories like this one?:<br />http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0911/62586.htmlPFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00263515090451316188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6926413038778731189.post-32731357114811059512011-09-03T01:03:27.425-05:002011-09-03T01:03:27.425-05:00I'd say the injuries can be stuffed into two c...I'd say the injuries can be stuffed into two categories. There were the awful ones: Posey, obviously, and to a lesser extent, Freddy Sanchez. And there were the injuries that came simultaneously. Losing Brian Wilson hurt, but Romo's been the better pitcher for a couple of years, so the real whammy was having both of them gone at the same time. Many of the infielders stink, but the alternatives are even worse, so having so many hurt at the same time was a real problem. Same with the post-Posey catchers.<br /><br />It's weird, though. A World Series title makes me less pissed off. And that Showtime series really made it hard to get down on the players, esp. guys like Huff, working so hard to find his lost juju.Mon-sewer Paul Regrethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04918972562626522624noreply@blogger.com
