The mailbag will be posted in a week or so, most likely on Sunday. It deals with hope for the future, and I think, and I say this in my answer, things will never look as bleak as they do right now. There are still times (3 days later) that I want to gut the entire team and just start over, but that's insanity. So I want to gain some perspective on what happened before I answer that question. But rest assured, barring Omar gutting the farm for a quick fix - there IS help on the way. I never thought I'd say this (even though I agreed with both of these picks) - but Kunz and Rustich are at the most 3/4 of the 08 season away.
