Man, we suck.
If they gave out awards for getting players to second, we'd be great.
And yet again we waste a great start by one of our two aces.
I never thought we'd have to be worried about our offense, but this is just getting pathetic. Clearly, those two victories on Thursday and Friday were flukes and we're still in a slump. C'mon, people, Grady can only do so much!
What I think is the most ironic about this is that the only move we made at the trade deadline was to improve our offense. We made no moves to improve our bullpen, but guess what? In this series they've pitched 6 and 2/3 shut out innings, giving up all of TWO hits. Our bullpen's actually looking pretty good these days. And our starting pitching (with Jake stepping up and Laffey giving us a chance) looks better than it has all year.
We are THIS close to having the team we've wanted all year long...and our offense is dropping the ball.
As must be clear to everyone, it's the division or nothing from the Central this year. We are killing each other far too much for anyone to have the kind of record it will take to win the Wild Card.
We desperately need to salvage a split and hope to create some kind of momentum into Chicago because we are ridiculously lucky to be in first place -- and the Twins are playing like a team that smells blood in the water.
The Tigers are injured and reeling. Now is the time.
