Holy crap. I saw her go down--thought it was because the other fan ran into her. Any follow-up to the guy who got donked by Schwindel's scoreboard shot on Saturday (at :10)? He collapses like a ton of bricks.

Quote:This team is an abortion.
Quote:5 game win streak.
These two successive posts (from 8 days apart) crack me up.
To be honest, I'm kind of enjoying the Little Engine that Could now. It will kind of crack me up if the players who were put in to make this team lose for a better draft spot end up spoiling those plans. It might be a nice rejoinder to what its all too often a sense of cynicism that informs team management.

Kind of incredible this team could have contended for a WC had they not gone on those ridiculous losing streaks.

I'm enjoying the games. Then I feel badly afterward.

I forget, one of the streaks came before the sell off and one after...correct?

Yup. They lost 11 straight immediately after the combined no-hitter (6/25-7/6), and they lost 12 straight 8/5-8/16.

My son went to this game with one of his buddies. So I was rooting for a win. Oh well.

I'd prefer at least competitive losses, but the last few days have been ridiculous. And both Steele and Thompson are now looking like bullpen pieces at best.

The bloom is off the rose on Manny Rodriguez, no? Maybe a little more work at AAA?

Yeah no one cares but disconcerting that Hendricks has an 8.21 ERA in his last eight starts. The Professor has been struggling. Might be time to just shut him down for season

There has to be some sort of injury/burnout there, pretty much since his last start in July.

Going to Wrigley today. Hopefully we can put an end to the Cards' stupid fucking winning streak.
