Pessimism is part of the game. The more pessimistic you are, the happier you will be when they win. When you're pessimistic, you expect them to lose, and it cant get any worse than losing. But if you're optimistic, you're brought down every time they lose. So tell me, which one is better?

If fans made decisions, no manager would last a week. They'd be gone right away after they lose a single game.

I won't let it

Nice way to start May. Thanx Heather, keep up the good work. Yep BMR Im betting this thread will beat the current leader of longest threads, which is Rumor Mill.

Yep Heather we're needing it. Looks like this thread is gonna stick around for the rest of the season.

You and me both. Two of the biggest parts of winning are chemistry and manufacturing runs. And it doesn't look like we have any of those with our players right now.

We were unfortunate to run into two of the best in the league and lost to both of them. Now we are a pitiful one game over .500 Its looking like Deja Vu all over again until we get it all together On a happier note, the Royals bullpen blew another lead, giving up 3 runs in the 9th. Red Sox win 5-4.

Only in Chicago

:fyou you too. Looks like I'm out of a job

Credit card will by fine, questions will be answered once money is received

2 things you say? That will be 50 bucks each

Call with your questions.... Cory the Psychic will answer them all

Let me guess who number 1 is....the Yankees? Let me guess who number 30 is...the Tigers? If I get that right, I'm psychic

1-0 BoSox on a Bill Mueller leadoff homer

He means the guy is too good for AAA, but not good enough for the majors. I'd say theres plenty of our players in AAAA.

Garland vs. Halama

And who will Stewart go against?

I thought we were 1-5 or even 0-6 in one run games. But guess not. Bottom line, we need to learn how to manufacture runs, and we need to learn REAL soon if we wanna stay in it.

Correction: That's only 1 buck per ticket and they had a sellout crowd last game so I guess its working out.

I have a feeling this thread will be hovering around here for the rest of the season.

Amen baggio. Our losses are piling up where we were definately in the game and just plain failed to manufacture runs and make things happen. I'm sick and tired of this non-team mentality. When will they get into their head that you do anything to move the runner and get the run home.

And the bridge falls down. WHAT IN HELL CAN WE DO FOR THIS TEAM TO MANUFACTURE RUNS!

He's supposed to be driving it to right field. That should be his whole mentality. He's supposed to be doing anything he can just to advance the runner. I mean, we're down by only 1 run here, get someone up there that can bunt for Gods sake. We should have a tied ballgame here, and it would take a true miracle to come back.

Jose V, Mr. Clutch, Mr. All-Star, leads it off with a double. Only to see Big Hurt first-pitch swinging and lining out to the LEFT side. What the hell, you f***ing advance the runner any f***ing way you can, and if you ground out, you ground out to the RIGHT side. Leadoff double, does not score, and yes Valentin has every right to b**** about these selfish plays. What can I say, I'm just f***ing speechless.
