Overflow: We Do It Again Vs. Dodgers
by Silverblood
on Apr 26, 2008 12:59 AM MDT
So, Russ asked me/someone to open a FanPost for the extra once the main thread hit 400, and since we're at 440, it's time to move over. Hopefully that will give us some new mojo, as we are clearly showing every sign of being in for it again. Russ has to get up in 2 hours, and since I am exhausted but don't know what's best for me, here I am doing it again. Bring your charming personages to these new premises.

If nothing else,
these agonizingly slow West Coast games force the a—holes at the Eastern Sports Programming Network to stay up WAAAY past their bedtimes.

I don’t even remember when last time, and it didn’t end for another 2 hours…

Nice job by the bullpen tonight keeping us in the game
Wells, Newman, Speier, Corpas, Herges, Buchholz combine for 1 run in 9 innings in relief so far
Hope I didn’t jinx anything

So just kinda curious
Why the new thread when we hit 400? I know there has to be some reason for it or else we would not be doing it.

I think it is time for a Mark Ellis trade
How much better would you feel to have Kaz Matsui in the lineup instead of Nix? All for the want of a few million bucks.

Well
I made it through the 10th before the wife made me come home. Got home just in time to see the loss. Some thoughts:
1. Dodger stadium still sucks
2. Jimenez is not ready. What an awful performance. You just can’t rely on a guy that is, at all times, ready to explode.
3. We had so many chances to win and didn’t come through it was ridiculous. Tulo in particular, Holliday, everyone. Hard to hit with both hands wrapped around your throat.
4. This team is incredibly mediocre. Our record is not an illusion. It reflects the quality of the team.
Something needs to change. This team reminds me of the Rockies circa 1999. Average pitching, pretty good offense, nothing special. .500 baseball.

Yeah that sounds about right.
But this time last year we were saying the same thing if not worse. We still have plenty of time to turn it around. Looks like we are going to have to be one of the best second have teams in baseball again this year. I was hoping for a little more comfort room than that this time around though.

Agreed.
But last year was a once in a lifetime thing. We lose even one of those miracle games, and last year was just a “hope for the future” kind of thing. I don’t want to rely on another unprecedented finish. I want to rely on a team that I think is legitimately good. And I simply can’t say that after the first month of this season. And the fact that we run Redman out against Penny tomorrow doesn’t help matters. We will lose.
