D'Backs got better after the deadline. They backed themselves into a corner again but now I will go back to watching them again.

Baseball is a game of streaks. They could be due at the wrong time.

Sometimes those best record teams fall flat. I hope not.

No, it just takes 56 HR to do that

Brewers don't really have to play for anything the rest of the season but they still win.

Sometimes stats deceive the eyes.

Baron up 2-0

Those are the free agents you get when losing is a habit. They don't really bring anything to the table. Some still ignore the reality that no big time free agents would be willing to play here.

same here when I watch the other teams' broadcast. Schriffen - 120 loss season Beckham - 101 loss season Both are not good. We get a constant flow of former Sox has beens.

The Yankees let the Sox toy with them yesterday but not today.

Fixed

Left the most important one out - any quality free agent would not sign here

I've never called anything a success in this organization other than losing

winning and losing are also habits

went from dumbass approach at the plate on to dumbass bullpen management

I get the feeling this is a game they are not suppose to win,

While wins may not matter in the minors, Tampa's teams are always up there.

yet there will be more awful ahead, they are not alone

They aren't known for fixing flaws either.

I don't think many teams give up valuable prospects in July. So many trades are often rentals. Trade just to trade is basically it for bad teams along with paying a player not to play for them. So often the consistent winning teams come out ahead in those but even that is temporary if they don't extend them.

they'll also trade and trade and trade to fulfil the fan's desire for trade frenzy. It's the formula of habitual losing baseball. All of the bad teams do it. We mention spending money but what top tier free agents want to come here without overpaying? What you get is overpriced free agents like Beni. Then our trade frenzy kicks in and then the salary dump for no level prospects. No shortage of those. Keep spinning that wheel.

Those game packages had to be tempting. I would have done it if I lived reasonably close. Plus a lot of last year was gone. No Eli, Moncada, Grifol. The past 3 years were such a dark era.

only ones that can fool this organization

I'm watching the Barons while keeping in touch with this game
