I agree. Frustrating. I said after Saturday that we were "just a .500 team"...I see nothing to convince me otherwise right now. We're so close though.Quote:

walks walks walks... and missed opportunities in tonight's game in particular (base running blunder by volquez not once but twice in a inning)
Remember at this moment at best this team is average. You can't expect an average team to get crucial hits when needed most. Not until Jocketty actually DOES SOMETHINGQuote:

I threw a couple more "colorful" words in there. Baserunning mistakes, walks, not getting a bunt down, and not scoring a run with a runner on third with less than two outs have that effect on my vocabulary.Quote:

they are sub par.. but they seem to come in the clutch when they really really need a run or two.
The season ebbs and flows, teams get hot then go through cold streaks. At one point this season the Brewers were 14-20, in 4th and 6.5 games back. One month later they are in 1st so anything is possible. That being said this season just has this feel like its not going to be the Reds year.
I agree, this really should have been a sweep. Bases loaded nobody out you need to score some runs.
Removing the dreadlocks didn't make him any smarter.
