It's basically throwing in the towel during a 4-5 football season when you're one game out of a WC spot.
Last year after 97 games this team was 5 games under, and 9 games out of a WC spot. This year they're 3.5 and there are less teams to hop... Toronto's come back to earth, the Yankees are missing two of their best pitchers, we still have several games against Cleveland and Seattle has to battle Oakland/Anaheim. Dayton should be out there trying to wheel and deal for help to overtake these teams. His job should depend on it.

I hear what you are saying, but there is NO EVIDENCE to support that he is capable of getting this done. NONE!
You can't be this wildly inconsistent as a team, and expect that the other Teams around you are going to continue to keep you in the game. Those other franchises have actually won something in the last couple of decades, and know how to make deals to get better in the 2nd half of the season. The "Be Royals" and Dayton Moore..................yeah. Not so much.
