For most of this argument, I've been on Kimmi's side, but you're starting to sway me because I realize the fact that this is a bad team. It isn't really possible for a bad team to be in 1st. That is the one hole with your argument, Kimmi. Until reading this post, I had clung to the idea that we were a decent team that had just underperformed. Well, we have underperformed, but we're not quite a decent team. The only thing that has underperformed is the offense. The pitching is right on par with expectations, if you average out the whole season. This team really highlights the need and important of having an ace. But, at the same time, we have left a few too many games out there.
