Then you had two games where they looked like shit for 7 complete innings and then one where the other team completely deconstructs in the 13th.
All I'm saying, while it was fun and I love the wins, let's not fool ourselves in thinking we have turned any kind of corner. We were lucky not have gone through, what would have been, our 3rd four game losing streak.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I'm not totally buying into it either, but sometimes you need a little bit of luck to turn your season around. Also, as mediocre as we've looked all season, it's hard to imagine that our offense was really as bad as that, even without Aramis in the lineup. And for as poorly as we've played all season, we've still been around .500 most of the time. That by itself gives me a small amount of optimism. I'm not saying we've turned a corner, but it could be a helluva lot worse too.
