Oh No, They Lose, We Lose..

[sarasoxfan]

It's remarkable...we beat the yanks twice win 4 out of five games...the yankees lose last night and we're 8 back and a half game out of the wild card. How many times over the years has this pattern of winning when the yankees win and losing when the yankees lose taken place--and we end up going no where.

 

we have got to start peeling off some streaks. I thought the rainout would help us keep the momentum going, but it seemed to end it. Like the all-star break this team seems lose energy whenever there is a break in this schedule..very weird.

 

Off day today...ugh.

 

Every one will probably get mad at me..but I still think Franconca is awful, inexperienced at best. Here's just a smattering of evidence. Every other team seems to be able to score on us when they for example, get a lead-off double..They bunt and then gthey et the guy in from third. It happened last night. We get a lead off double, kapler it looked like on his own bunted foul, and then third base coach calls him over and tells him not to do that. In an instant the innings over and we get nothing. The O's on the other hand did it and scored.

 

PLus, real fast. He leaves guys in way too long, as though somehow by the time it's the sixth or seventh they will recover. By the time he pulls them we're losing by way too much. Mazzilli, a rookie manager, lifted his pitcher for a new one before there was trouble. Ok, Francona didint lose that game for us, but he aint helping. and he was outmanaged by another rookie manager

We are actually a game back in the wild card, not 1/2 a game back.
