Reds owners to fans: I'm sorry we suck
Seems like it was centuries ago that the Reds were actually good
Perhaps Hank Steinbrenner can learn something from the Reds.
In a strange move, the owners of the last-place team wrote a letter to fans that was both emailed and posted on the Reds web site apologizing for their awful year.
"We had high expectations for the 2008 season," the letter says. "Unfortunately, the team has not played up to our expectations and we have sustained injuries to key players within our starting lineup and rotation."
The letter asks fans for "your continued trust and patience as we build the roster that will get us back on top."
Perhaps the Yanks can send a letter to fans that goes like this:
Dear Fans:
"I'm sorry you had to take out loans to pay for tickets to watch a team that sucks"
yours truly,
Hank
