Recap
I... Just don't know what to think anymore...
Another wasted season as we watch the Saints take two of three before just completely opting out of the Kings series. I don't get why we're so useless against them, 3-14 this season after being pathetic against them last season, and we basically eliminated ourselves from the playoffs. Now eight back, there's pretty much no hope, and considering we're back at .500, even a winning season seems unlikely.
I really didn't want to do a write up yesterday, so you can imagine how little I wanted to today, as we got humiliated in our most important week to date. Sure, Leo Mitchell (7-16, 2B, 3B, R, BB) did good, but it wasn't nearly enough
Looking Ahead
Three in Philly, thee in Cleveland, one in Toronto. I'm sure we'll even lose to the Wolves now, but I'm petrified of the Foresters, who have surprisingly gone 12-4 against us. I didn't realize this because I was so worried about the Kings, but it is crazy that 26 of our 58 losses are against two teams. Two teams that aren't even good. The Kings are also 58-58, completely boosted by their performance against us, and Cleveland can't even get above .500 even with all our free wins. At 56-59, they're behind everyone but the Wolves, though I'm sure we'll be seventh soon enough.
I guess the biggest news is for the first time in over a decade I'm legitimately considering a tear down. That means everyone. Sal Pestilli. Red Bond. Skipper Schneider...
Yes, even Pap and the Jones Brothers...
Just sick of the underperforming, sick of the inept offense, sick of nothing working...
Minor League Report
Worst part is, we have a bunch of worthy minor leaguers referencing. I just don't have the motivation to care right now. We'll see, maybe I come back later. I mean, Jim Williams has thrown back-to-back shutouts, winning four straight with just three earned runs! That's exciting if you can forget about the stupid big league team for a second.
Which I can't...
