Dave Trembley was asked during his Opening Day news conference about the fan loyalty that was shown at FanFest and at spring training. He responded by recounting the way Andy MacPhail presented the rebuilding plan to the fans.
"I think it started with the approach Andy MacPhail took from the beginning,'' Trembley said. "He was honest. That's what people wanted. There was no mystery about it.
"I know people want to win. I know they are tired of losing. I know they don't want the same old song and dance. They have supported us and we have to hold up our end."
