from Jeremy Rutherford of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch,
“I’m frustrated like everybody else,” Checketts said. “And I think it’s frankly time to declare the wait over. I think our fans have been patient, I think we’ve been patient.
“This is a team that the time has come ... it’s time to win. The waiting is over. We don’t need to be patient anymore. We have a right to expect. We’re spending enough and we have a terrific group of guys. It’s time to win.
“There is no reason for the kind of effort we saw last night. This team has everything it needs and now is the time to win. All year long, we should compete for first or second in our division. This team is good enough and that’s what we expect from them. I think everyone can expect that. And it’s top to bottom ... everybody in the organization has to be on that page. It’s time to win. We have everything we need to win. There’s no excuse.”
