Huh?

Sorry Clapp--but you are at the head of that class. Talking about not pitching Harden until September or July, or whatever. The regular season is not a given. This game sucked.

Great teams lose 65+ games.

I know. I'm mad about losing and I'm superstitious about people looking past the regular season.

I'm not superstitious about it, but it's a fact of pro sports that you NEVER take the regular season for granted, and just <i>assume</i> you're gonna come in 1st place.
Especially in baseball, where, as Kid pointed out, even the great teams lose a third of their games.

Tough loss.
