Good comment Pegasus –
We know how the departure of Brad Davis and Richard Mulrooney really helped FCD according to the faithful, now we will see how well Ruiz does with LA.
IMO, Coaching has always been most of Dallas’s problem since Dir left I – not the talent on the field.

I have been very surprised at the Mina hate. He was a very good player for us befrore the injuries. He was a question mark because of them but why noy leave at that instead of saying he was no good? There seems to be something in the FCD fan that has to rip players as soon as they leave.

Mina wasn’t that great to begin with and injury prone… what FCD needs is consistent goal scoring. He was not consistent let alone healthy. Good for FCD (but shame on FCD if they were dishonest to him… that is not just).

Sure Chaz, A guaranteed contract means the player gets paid no matter what. It’s the money that is guaranteed, not being on the roster.

The team can still cut/waive the player whenever they want.

BUZZ – Can you provide a refresher course on the defintion of what a “guaranteed” contract is?

My memory thinks it means that no matter what happens during the season, a player can not be cut from the team. Not that ‘you get paid no matter what.

In the words of the once great Hammer “Don’t let the door hitch ya where the good lord split ya!”

I think this is great news. I thought the prospect of the team cutting either Bird Man or Lil Ricky to keep Big Bob was ridiculous. He can’t stay in shape, he can’t stay healthy, and both Bird and Lil Ricky have more potential.

Other good things to possibly come from this: The front office with try to cover the stink from this by making things right with Pablo and the team will retain Lil Ricky to maintain a good relationship with CAP. Great work Big Bob, you have contributed more to the team in one day then you have in the last 2 years.

a quote from myself of myself on another blog…

“although i do not side w/ big bob on this one, this does NOT absolve the FO from the contract dealings w/ other players. i still feel for coop and pablo on their current situation. but, management is like a car salesman. they’ll tell you all that you want to hear, but won’t include it in the contract. so who’s fault does this become? personally, there’s a fine line between very shrewd and being a snake. where do you think the tandem of hitch and morrow falls?”

ok ok, so we all agree that this is the the cookie crumbles in this game; one day you’re in and the next you’re out. But it seems to me like you guys are still being a bit too harsh on Roberto, he was doing everything he could in order to stay here. One thing that i will agree with is the fact he may not have the best managment, he’s been with them for the past 8 years and he probably doesn’t know better. He’s still very young and he’s got a great talent, this can only make him a stronger player
