Not only do we miss Weaver, we also miss CJ Wilson.
Fortuitous bounce there. That and the Tigers/Red Sox game getting called with the Tigers having a chance to go ahead. Imagine how pissed off we would have been in that same situation?
So between the missed call on the Konerko throw home (2 times in 3 games, with Adam also failing), the rockets hit all over the place against our relievers, the fact that final play of the game MON didn't turn out to be a blown call after all, Verlander being "below average" for him in two consecutive games...we're pretty fortunate to be right where we are at.
You could argue we could or should have beaten up Feldman, De Vries and Blackburn, that we gave them essentially 5 runs on SUN/MON...but this team is just so inconsistent offensively, we stopped the bleeding before it became infectious last night and we ended up getting swept again heading into the huge upcoming Angels' series at home.
But we get Haren and Grienke. It's hard to really "miss" anyone in that rotation.
