* if you don't have anything negative to say here, please don't post.
* if you don't like negativity, then stay the fuck away from this thread. baron, i'm looking at you.
* this thread is started with the express purpose of bitching about this team. if you're a positive guy and you don't like this kind of thing, then fine, start your own rainbows and lollipops thread. this is for those of us who are sick as shit of this putrid waste-of-air team.
every move hendry made in the offseason has been a bust. bradley is useless, i'm glad he's hurt. gregg is terrible. i wish he was hurt. miles sucks, i wish he'd stay hurt. heilmann is wildly inconsistent, someone hurt him please.
last night was about as gut wrenching loss as i can remember. let's go over the mistakes, shall we:
1. our gold glove 1st baseman can't catch a throw. A THROW! i get mad when my daughter drops a throw, and this asshole can't catch a throw?
2. our all star reliever, the one everyone wants to close, can't throw a strike. he fucking walked francouer on 4 pitches. you know how hard that is to do?
3. our all star catcher can't block a pitch in the dirt. oh sure, he blocked a couple later in the game, but he missed the one that counted. he forced gregg to have to pitch to another batter. you want gregg pitching to as few batters as possible.
in fact, soto can't do anything right this year. can't hit. can't hit for power. can't catch. can't throw out runners. i read that the pitchers era's are much better when hill catches. where the fuck is rick wilkins when you need him?
4. our closer served up that home run to francuer. he threw it right down the middle like it was batting practice. soto may as well have told him it was coming. no movement, straight as an arrow, right down the pipe.
5. this team doesn't come back. once that home run was hit, the game was over.
in short, this is a bad team. good teams don't implode and blow a 5 run lead in the 8th inning. we had an opportunity to move up a game on the brewers and we failed. i have zero confidence that this team can reach the postseason and with the ownership thing dragging on, i have no confidence that we can make any moves by the all star break. what we see is what we get.
