I don't think so. you can't spot that many runs to either of those teams and expect to win. Especially waiting until your last six outs to do it. And while it was nice to see the string of hits, again I'd like to have seen that against some good pitchers. I would have felt much better if we could have knocked Cliff Lee around just a little.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->


i feel ya.

I agree with you Brick. But the good news is that before these last 4, we wouldn't have been able to even beat any team in the majors, so things are improving quite a bit. You are right that we probably wouldn't have been victorious against a team like the Cardinals, but compared to the way we were playing before, it has been a pretty big improvement. Hopefully things will keep getting even better. Like coach said, it takes a spark to start a fire.

Welcome back Butch!

I'm afraid we're going to have to ask you to leave.

.....also, for some reason, I always think of dueling banjos and missing teeth when WV comes to mind. Nothing against the people there, that's just the mental image I get.

It's not an unfounded stereotype.

[veryzer]

the upside is that butcher's multiple wives won't be frowned upon there. the downside is that he's not related to any of his wives by blood.

[Jody]

Yeah, that John Denver is full of shit!

I thought Bruce Springsteen said that.

[Jody]

He said you can't start a fire without a spark.

I hate this team again.
