    And they didn't finish first. But i still have some hope. I think they could still go on a hot streak.

    With as streaky every team in this race has been, including the Reds, I disagree that it is over. Still have 3 at GABP with the Padres too.

    Well, she'll just have to wait because no self-respecting diva would think of going on stage without the proper make-up on. Heaven knows she doesn't want to look washed out under all of those lights. Send her down to make up and then down to wardrobe before she comes on stage!

    I don't get how some people can get away with calling themselves fans sometimes.

    –noun an enthusiastic devotee

    What ever happened to just laying it out there and having a little hope or faith... enthusiasm for your team rather than calling in the proverbial fat lady during hard times.

    This team will go on a tear soon. The offense is not this bad. The pitching may be, but they have to win the Harang/Arroyo games, and lately the Milton ones! I haven't given up hope, but last night did put a dent in the armor.
