    One game doesn't represent a season.

    Who said they did? I just pointed out that you made up completely untrue statistics to make your argument. Fake stats don't mean anything.

    And yes, I "wait in the weeds" and attack people who make up nonsense to justify an argument. If you don't like being attacked, don't make up stuff like claiming someone's wins only came because of blowing leads when that in fact was not the case even once.

    of course it doesnt, we actually agree on something, but it was just an example of a time that he blew one, because you say I make everything up, also check last year against Arizona, I remember Qualls giving up a homer to lose

    I never said you make everything up. I said you make some stuff up, and if you have to do that, it makes me wonder about the rest of the argument. If an argument is strong, it would need made-up facts to bolster it.

    Fair enough. :) And yes, our bullpen is going to have to perform much better or this is going to be a long season. It's disappointing that our "big 3" all contributed to the two losses so far.

    I dont know why everyone brings up the Pujols homerun as the turning point. He's been having trouble before that. In the playoffs, there were quite a few times where he almost blew it (before Pujols). I could tell he was struggling. He would always give up at least a hit or two before retiring the side. His collapse was something that was bound to happen.

    Exactly. I wish there were more people, especially the idiots that work for FSN and ESPN, that were aware of this. Talk about making stuff up; the mediots make a living making stuff up.

    LOL = Lights On Lidge

    Teams are privy to his pitches... slider, slider, fastball... that's all he's got and that's what they're sittin and waiting for. When he's behind in a count you already know he's coming with a fastball. I truly hope he gets it together.

    Lidge needs a restraining order, he shouldnt be allowed inside any ballpark.

    This was a post defending Qualls. Funny how this exact same thing happened today. Qualls comes in, blows the lead, and guess what? he gets the win. (Barring another 9th inning blunder)

    My optimism sometimes gets the better of me.
