New ownership showed up in Winnemucca and decided immediately that fans should buy a new jersey to keep up with their successful franchise who have appeared in each of the past 5 ALCS. But after a two-year title drought, the spoiled fans of Nevada are starting to get antsy to get a winner.
Herb seems intent on keeping up the pace, picking up a variety of role players while losing underutilized former ace (and big ticket hurler) Pablo Nieto and lost
Jimmy Rybarczyk to San Diego.
Still we're in Winnemucca, so they don't die, they just reload. The three-headed monster of Erik Doucet, Denis Sheehan and Dave Breglia there's pretty much no way these guys miss the playoffs (hooray no-injury fast-sim!) and it's just a question of whether they'll be back in their familiar spot as the top seed or not.
Do you remember the last time the Winnemucca franchise missed the playoffs? Me neither. (It was 1855, also the last time they didn't finish first in the AL during the regular season.)
