HOF 1990

I feel sorry for the fans. You pay that much money to see a game, you expect to see professionals play... We walked 14 people today.  We pitched like a bunch of 12-year-olds.  We had a guy get picked off when we're six runs down....If you want any more stories, go out in the clubhouse.  They're the ones making all the money.  Have them explain how they did and how they performed in front of 47,000 people.  That's all I have to say.
