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.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Yeah I hate talking about it too so I'll stop here...

Our pitching sucked and the defense did too, absolutely. Worse than the offense? I don't think so. We do things differently if we score some runs earlier in the game. Game 1 was a 2 or 3 run game until late, but since we can't score any runs, Lou manages the game differently where even Marquis comes in. Game 2, we didn't score until the 7th inning. Game 3, we scored 1 run, didn't come until the 8th.

We sucked in all phases of the game though, no doubt about it.
