Well, that didn't take long. 1-0.

And a major screw job by the umps.

Incredible start. Ouch.

Pull most of the starters and put in seniors that haven’t gotten much time this year.

I said it a while ago. We peaked too early and we are now treading water with 25lb weights on our ankles heading into the post season

Another screw job. Schreck no more swung at that ball than I did.

Is it me or is Futrell a mid-week starter. He’s not a weekend guy, at least yet.

This team is breaking our collective hearts. I truly don't think they'll win another game this year.

And Bulger gets a K on a call by the ump of one well down and away. Wish Futrell would got those calls.

Of course not, only a fool bets on sports. I hope they win, I want them to win. They just haven't shown any indication they can of late.

This ump is both inconsistent and subtly screwing us.

Not so sutle. The home run was clearly foul. Schreck's swing and miss was clearly a check swing. Later they call out someone on a pitch way down and away. Of course it doesn't mean a tinker's dam if we can't get a hit.
Pitiful.

I am so tired of lead off batters popping up.

Try to hit a line drive. Stop trying to crush everything - get on base.

It is very low IQ baseball. And that’s not how we’re supposed to play.
