A year or two ago, they could have gotten a player that mattered in return for MDC. They sold low. It proves the old Branch Rickey truism: it's better to trade a player a year too soon rather than a year too late.
Sloppy stupid play early in the season to dig the hole
Injuries in the middle part of the season to halt the drive to the top
players didn't return from injuries in time to help for the final push
No reinforcements at the trading deadline
That's the story of our season
A season if missed opportunities
What is the book on the Drew catch? Should he have let it drop foul? Eck says he doesn't know what the book is on that. I wonder what Buch was thinking when Drew caught the ball? He can't say anything even if he disagreed with Drew catching it.
Spud and I have seen this kind of s*** so many times over 40+ years that it is like water off a duck's back. It's no big deal to us anymore. Plus, the vodka helps.
Chalk this up to the bullpen. It's been a parade of pigs to the mound all season long with the exception of Bard and Papelbon. That might have been the last truly meaningful game that they play this season.
