As I said' date=' I didn't realize that he had been hitting so well, but i also said that I think he will hit even better. Does that sound negative, or are you just looking to criticize me? Let's talk baseball. How bout that?[/quote']

Good. Do that and don't criticize another poster.

We are again 2 1/2 games behind in the Wild Card. The 3 wins that were sacrificed by Tim Bogar would have us in the WC lead and breathing down the necks of the Rays.

Not just that if we could have had the Game that Paps blew. and If we had the Three O's games back it might be a different story atop the standings.

The Orioles games are what bother me the most, I still cant believe we got swept by that terrible team. With or without Cameron and Ellsbury, that was still inexcusable.

You can't blame the players for losing games unless the loss is the result of a lack of effort or monumental stupidity. The games should be won or lost by the players on the field. Losing games because of your third base coach is something that should never happen. And let me clarify, I wouldn't blame a loss on the third base coach for merely getting a guy thrown out. Trying to score a run with 2 outs is fine. Sending a guy on a passed ball or wild pitch and getting them thrown out with two out is understandable. That stuff is not a problem. However, to get runners tossed out time and again when there is no one out is not acceptable. It shouldn't happen even once. He cost us three games.
