State Wins, Fans Not Happy

State beat Memphis last night with a ninth inning 4-run rally, but the natives are still restless. Allowing Cleveland to get roughed up for seven runs is one more example of Polk leaving pitchers on the mound past their point of effectiveness.

I think State fans want to see a Jim Leyland like tirade from their skipper.

The Tigers' loss to the Indians was so bad that Detroit manager Jim Leyland's expletive-filled tirade could be heard outside the clubhouse door.

"We stunk," Leyland said Monday while speaking to reporters after the 10-2 loss, a terse session that ended with him abruptly storming out of his office. "The whole ball of wax was lackluster."

The fanbase has lost confidence in Polk's passion for winning. That's usually the first step towards the end. The only thing that can save Polk's reputation in the eyes of many Bulldog faithful is retirement or a Paterno-like resurgence. Personally, I'm hoping for the resurgence.
