They should find a way to put Garcia back in for us so Butler can get his 4th double off of him tonight.

Gas Can Tony in the game.

Alexei was pretty bad defensively the 2nd half of last season also.

To me, though, he didn't seem unmotivated and to have been so mentally out of he game. Physical mistakes, yes.

Considering our schedule that might be hard to overcome for the 500 kids.

 

shawn kemp wha

Should be 4.5 games out by tomorrow night.

greinke + tomorrow + awful lineup= losing 2 of 3 to the royals

If one of my kids had been doing well, pretty intelligent and busting his butt and looking sharp one year, then the next year seemed unmotivated and made numerous mental mistakes, I'd have to wonder what other issues were having an influence in his life.

How many times have we come back from behind in the 9th inning this year?

Once.....last Tuesday

Um, yeah. We could be up a game in the standings right now, and that would still have been true. It's the roughest road stretch I can remember.

That may be something fixable. Somehow, as I watch, this just seems more deep-seated.

I suppose that's possible, given that he was handed the shortstop job for this year about half way through last year.

Pena probably wants to avoid his hanging sliders to this hitter.

Hell with the way we play down to our competition we could be out of it by this weekend.. since we play the great Baltimore team... so we should be dominated by them as well.

Look, when you're good at something . . .

I suppose that's possible, given that he was handed the shortstop job for this year about half way through last year.

 

And told he would be great at it.....

 

Maybe he needs to fight for a job to be good.

 

He and Contreras seem to just kind of flake out and lose any ability to play rather easily.

yes, the frustration level is HIGH with this team.

people are gonna be al over ramirez tonight on the post game. As they should. His lazy ass cost us tonight

And then get back in it next week by inexplicably winning on the road trip. Weird team.

One could hope... esp. since we played the yanks tough earlier on.

Whoa, Pena doesn't allow a run.

 

10 bucks says we go 1-2-3 here.

We aren't going to beat Soria, just like we ain't going to beat Greinke (how's that for being a deb downer?)

Am I the only one who likes Pena?
