Disagree that the results so far have been worse than expected.  Frankly, I
did not expect the Cats to be able to field anything more than a 5 win team
after the debacle that was the Huggins firing and the Kennedy dismissal.
Again, I think by every measure, Mick has so far done better than anybody
could have reasonably expected.

All that said, Zimpher is still a snake and will, in my eyes, always be a
snake regardless of any success UC may have under Cronin.
