Baseball is such a weird sport. We went 4-4 verus the Bosox in this stretch (not bad) and 3-4 versus the Yankees (not so bad) and yet just because all the losses were on that road trip, we fell so far back.

The timing killed us.

Coming back to kill them 3 of 4 in the Cell is very impressive.

Good inning for...Tony Pena???

greg775 jumped out of a 4th story window after that.

The only player on that list who I am worried about is Rios. I think Alexei will be fine (although he might be better suited back at 2B), Beckham will be fine, Getz is what he is, Q will be fine is he stays healthy, and Nix isn't all that important IMO.

 

right, but you'd like to see these players finish with a nice line. I'd rather they not tank and finish with like .240 averages.

He's actually had 2 good outings in a row I think.

I didn't get to see either on TV so I can't comment on how he looked.

How did he look aside from the good results??

Came in with a runner on base, induced what could have been a GIDP, and then struck out the next 2.

According to the scoreboard, his last 20 outings, he has an ERA of 2.50.

The outing before that streak was when he gave up 4 runs. He hasn't been that bad since late July, I will grant.

I was at the game today.. nice to keep the Red Sox nation who came out to the Cell quiet with only one run, and to send them to their cars with TCQ's homerun. Nice to see a well played game and a well pitched game from Mark.

Watched the game on MLB-tv and it weas good

I'd hate to have the outlook you do. There is no point in even watching sports if you go in with that mindset.

haha oh i love to watch the games right now for Beckham, Getz, Nix, etc etc - and I'm stoked about 2010, but I'm also realistic. I never thought we had a very good shot this year so I haven't had to ride the ups and downs of some of you other folks. Now next year, that'll be a year I'll be optimistic about

That's odd, because my eyes have told me except for the last 2 outings he's been abysmal.
