"This field, this game, is a part of our past. It reminds us of all that once was good, and what could be again." -- Terence Mann
A blast over Coghlan's head. Double! 9-5 Fish. Way to step up Hi-C!
Nunez coming in.
Men on 2nd & 3rd, 1 down, Stubbs up.
Stubbs K's swinging on ball 4.
4 pitch walk to load the bases. MVP walks up to the dish as the tying run.
Joey's 0 for 3. He's due.
Quickly down 0-2
Soft grounder back to the pitcher. Game over. Well, they made it exciting at the end again.
Brantley made a good point earlier. They're not showing any urgency until the 9th inning. Where's that fire the club had last year? Might be time for a team meeting by Dusty again. It certainly worked wonders last year in San Diego.
Where's the fire? I think there are a few factors that contribute to it.
1. When your starting staff allows runs early putting you in a hole, it demoralizes you.
2. The loss of Scott Rolen's on the field leadership is a big factor.
3. The bullpen has been less than stellar this year. Not to say they're bad, but...
4. I think 2010 and all those come back wins is in their heads.
5. The early loss of Cueto and Bailey.
Just my thoughts. When you're down 3 runs in the 2nd inning (or whatever) and come back only to have the bullpen fail, it can't help.

It's tough to have energy when you're constantly playing from behind. Look at the 5 game winning streak to start the year. Other than the first game, we were almost always playing with a lead.
