To be honest, winning the division and being swept in the first round again
isn't something I'm really up for. There would be worse things than Hendry or
Ricketts or whoever having to confront not only the damage Hendry did last
winter, but the fact that last year's team was not one we could afford to even
stand pat with.

They obviously didn't learn the lesson of last year's post-season. Maybe not
being in the post-season this year will bring the lesson home.
