Unfortunately, nobody is currently giving any of those away right now, which is why it's neccessary to look under every rock for avaiable pitching.
A 3 run ding dong and it's a 1 run game...
In case anybody is still awake
I agree. When you are winning, you look like you are full of fire and spirit and vigor. When you are losing, you look tired and listless. Especially when you are on a big losing streak. Who is not trying out there? I just saw Jr. haul ass to 1st on a nubber to the left side. I know a lot of people do not like Aurilia but the man comes to play every single day wherever you put him. A lot of that perception comes from not scoring a lot. Hey, this same team was lauded for coming back from 3 runs down last Thursday against the Giants. It was another heroic comeback. Now they are lollygaggers?
There we go - 6 straight losses. Anyone think we can sweep the Pads? Not bloody likely. Season is over.

So if the Royals spent a little more time at the batting cages they could be as good as the 1927 Yanks?
Right. As if you'd have a clue.

Steel, I know what you're saying, but the effort, the body language, etc., the last six days has been desultory and defeatist. To my eyes, at least.

Yes, Running to their positions tonight wouldn't have changed the outcome.
It's insulting that Marty is claiming the guys aren't trying. They are trying. LA is just a better ball team.

The 16 inning heartbreaker was a damaging, damaging blow to this team. They played like it tonight and Harang pitched like it.
The San Francisco losses were worse to me than this. The Dodgers are just a very good team right now and yesterday was a tough, close loss. The day off will help the Reds regroup, and we've got a month left in a still-close race.
This team has been heartbreakingly bad for almost a week. but they've done nothing to show me this year that they will let a week-long bad stretch extend to a month. Quite the opposite, actually.
There is no such thing as a pitching prospect.
Woohoo!!
.500!!!!!!!
