yeah, and? Didn’t I already read this about 24 times this year? The JackieZ shuffle is in full swing as the failure to put a winning TEAM together — balanced, apt for the home stadium, complementary in their strengths– eats at the fan base. Sadly, it has no impact on equity appreciation, no impact on Lincoln except when he gets asked an annoying question about baseball (of all things!) from a “dumbest guy in the room” journalist. I mean really. Don’t these guys know rthe ONLY game in Lincolnland is equity appreciation and Rootcash? And for that, the ownership and board worship him.
