If some people want to be doom sayers about ownership, it's their right.
Fact is this franchise past few years (post-Bowden) has gone 59-69-80 with the potential to win 90+ this season. Throughout the process there have been good drafts, beneficial signings (Werth, Capps, LaRoche, E-Jax, Pudge, etc), extensions when appropriate (Zimmerman, Gio), and the team has done it the right way. There is a focus on pitching and defense once mocked on this board in yesteryears that is now paying off in beastly fashion. The team also has a lot of young talent and the farm system, which yielded a trade for Gio and has graduated a lot of top talent, still has some exciting pieces.
Yes, how we hit the basement in 2008/9 is shameful, but that's the past. In a few short years this franchise has gone from the "lowly Natinals" to what many consider both the team of the present and the future.
I tend to have an overly optimistic view, but I'm pretty comfortable in saying we'll have tons of fun for the rest of this decade.
