Things like this are so misleading...when making a budget..they set a goal of making say 3 billion in 9 months...so they don't recognize the 1.9 billion they made but the 1.1 billion they didn't ...funny as hell..

All companies do this. They set unattainable goals so they don’t have to pay out those quarterly and annual bonuses. They only care about making as much money as possible while handing out as little money as possible.

I said that last night to my wife and son. I really would like it to D-Backs and Rangers, but it looks like the Trash Cans and the Phillies.

On a side note, the Ranger's Evan Carter went to my high school, so I like seeing the young man excel.
