I hate arguing about this because I'm trying my best to forget that fucking series.
But we would've had to score 8 runs to win game 1 and 11 runs to win game 2.
Sorry, but the best offense in the history of the game couldn't be expected to win playoff games that way. Even if our offense was clicking and scored, say... 6 runs in game 1 and 9 runs in game 2, we still go back to L.A. down 0-2 in the series.
Look -- I fully admit that our offense has blown in the last two postseasons. It's impossible to argue that. All I'm saying is that our pitching sucked *worse* in '08. Not necessarily in '07.
And I agree on Peavy. If we can upgrade our offense AND land Peavy, I'm all for it. If it's one or the other, we need a RFer way more than another SP.
