Agreed, Wych. It's all about expanding the brand, and maybe gain new supporters along the way. Ideally, we don't lose 3-nil, but fans here understand the purpose of preseason. They are more likely to be influenced by the Evertonian community we've built and want to be part of it.

It's an extreme statement for him to make. But I do think that we'll see a healthy DCL be much better in a new environment than he was for us. And that's fine. It was time for us to move on.

If Matt Wallner would have homered there in the 9th, he would have been off the Christmas Card list.
