I'm still at a loss as to what to even say. I left to run outside and jump in the pool with my kid...up 6-2...come back in what seemed like 15 minutes later...down 7-6. Ya know...I wasn't anticipating this team going on a 30-5 streak or anything...but I at least thought they could put together a nice run and save some face and at least play with some pride. That alone would have kept my interest at least. But I am officially done giving a s*** about this season. It's done. Time to play the youts and enter the Pedro Alvarez sweepstakes.

 

Oh it was quicker than that. I left I believe at the top of the 9th and we were up 6-2.

 

From the el station at 35th, I check on the score what, like five minutes later? Now it's 6-5.

 

When I get off at Belmont, the final score is 7-6.

 

I'm not going to go too crazy about this loss because it's just freaky. The pen blew it (including Bobby) and they've been okay of late.

 

The offense sure did their part, and that's been our bete noire this season.

 

File it. It happens. I'll be there tonight; hopefully we'll be pissed and it will show on the field.

How ironic it would be that after last night's game Buehrle is the one to go .

Not to second guess to much but Jenks worked his third straight day for some reason. Thorton was a no brainer unless he pitched Sunday as three of the four 9th inning hitters were leftie, actually Logan for the 9th would've been good.

 

In the grand scheme of things good game. The Iguchi catch was something new.

I was thinking the same thing about Jenks.

 

Like I said: we should file this one. Bad loss, but too bizarre to get worked up over. Hey, we scored six runs. If it had been 2-1, I'd be pissed.

 

Up to that disastrous ninth, we looked damn good. And so did Buehrle BTW.

I guess you missed the 70s and most of the 80s.

As a kid, August of '77 was a major bummer after the run they made in July. And I still don't like to talk about the '83 playoffs. But I don't remember a WS championship in either of those decades.
