What a poor bastard Obie is.

Gets *no* credit when the team is doing well, gets *all* the blame when 
they don't.  No regard for the fact that Harter himself laid much of the 
credit for the defense on Obie (though this just may be good "assistant" 
coaching if you know what I mean).  Always very convincing when people lay 
every ounce of blame on one person: coach, player, what-have-you.

I don't happen to agree with how Obie is rotating players right now, but I'
m not so stupid to think that that makes him an "idiot".  I invite people 
to quit calling names: it's not productive when we do it to other 
listmembers, and it's not productive when we do it to coaches or players.

But something has got to stop the bleeding: these games at home after the 
western swing are must-win, and they're not winning them.  It bodes ill.  
Perhaps Obie could be helping things with a different minutes management, 
but maybe, just maybe, every single one of the team's problems can't be 
traced to Obie.  Just maybe.
