Now, go do the AL West proud!
As I was perusing through some of the scads of articles on what seems like their "year of destiny" this one in particular got me thinking...
NY Times | A lesson in teamwork the Rangers can't forget
Of course I tend to read everything through lenses of navy and teal, and this is no different. While the piece is mostly about Washington's ability to overcome some personal demons and lead his team to the post season (although it was written prior to the Rangers game 6 victory) it was the last few lines that really struck a chord....
"But why did it take four years?" a reporter asked Washington on the eve of Game 6.
"Because I'm no miracle worker," he replied evenly. "Everyone takes time to develop and understand what's right and what's wrong. If it was that easy, I think everybody would be able to go out there and create something.
"But it don't happen like that," he added. "It's a process."He is SO right.
Of course it takes talent to succeed (and, unfortunately, save for a handful, the M's have been severely lacking in that category in recent years). But, especially when coming from near epic failure, it also takes time and consistence.

Dear Mariners Organization ~
Please consider Ron's sentiments and situation. Despite some pretty dicey circumstance, he was shown patience and given continuity in order to develop his process.
You have your people in place, now...
Show them patience, provide them continuity and, in time, their process will develop and their plan will come to fruition.
In other words, let them do their jobs.
Work. Wait. Win.
