I know there’s a new R.E.M. album coming out today (Tuesday), so I think “Everybody Hurts” is the clear choice for Wednesday’s Game Thread.

oh, but it gets better…due to our scheduling we have a well needed day off. Two games into the season and we need a break

They should have gotten Javy out of his street clothes to pinch hit for Corky in the 12th. This team may drive me to drink more than I normally do if these two games are an indication.

Oh, we definitely did not deserve to win that. We had like, what, one real hit in that 5-run 9th? I think the Frenchy/Kotsay/Diaz mini-rally in the 12th was the most offense we had after the 4th.

I only really regret Cox bunting Diaz in the 10th and the craptacular offensive show in the 11th. Oh, and it sucked that we got murdered by Xavier Nady.

Let’s take the next two and nip that right in the bud.

I agree, AAR. The hope was a gift…

Well, it will take until the ASB for these guys to attempt to get the ERA down to a respectable level.

I think we can say in all fairness that we didn’t deserve to win this one.

They just wanted to score 2 runs to make it a 1 run game – just to ensure that we once again have one of the worst 1 one game records in the bigs

At least we know our offense does work

Hey, what’s our record in 1-run games this season?

We can at least take solace in the fact that our pythagorean record isn’t nearly as bad as our actual record.
