    The narrow-minded one here is you. I *have* considered all the possibilities, even including the ridiculous consipiracy theories you and other whiners like yourself consistently spew. You have considered *nothing* except your own little conspiracy theory, arriving at it with a bunch of *assumptions* to which you refer as "logic"!! OMG!! Then you call me an idiot! Thanks for making my case for me. Before venturing to discuss logic again, perhaps you should study it before you utterly embarass yourself further.

    This is incorrect. I am making an assumption, and I'm wrong for that. Perhaps you did consider many possible scenarios and arrived at what you consider the most plausible solution.

    I am asking you to give others the same dignity--I *did* consider other scenarios, and I have not drawn a conclusion at all! I don't have enough information to logically say with confidence that I know what happened. And when someone else comes along and acts as if he does, especially in a way that is character-destructive to people he does not know, I always jump on that--and too hard.

    Disagreeing with my position does not make you narrow-minded. And disagreeing with your position does not make someone narrow-minded, it means he or she has either 1) arrived at a different conclusion or 2) decided not to draw a conclusion just yet.

    But, seriously--assumptions that seem entirely plausible (as yours certainly do) do *not* amount to logic. Seriously.

    MoBerg's at-bat in the 9th last night is the perfect microcosm of his season: 2 outs, tying run on 1st, XBH ties the game with a power threat (supposedly) at the plate.

    Pitcher spins up a hanging breaking ball, right in the middle of the plate, and instead of being ready to attack the ball, Mo stares at it. Then stares at a very hittable strike 2.

    Un-****ing-believable.

    Buck,

    Honestly, I thought those were two good pitches. The first one looked a little inside and the second one was on the outside corner. Oh well, he did get on base. :)

    Big Irish and I were going nuts after that first pitch...that was the game winner.

    As critical as I am, I thought they were good pitches too. I thought to myself that he better be sitting dead red...and he seemed to be since he was completely fooled onthose curves/sliders.

    First pitch was very, very, very drivable.

    Definitely...I could see why he was fooled though.

    So guys after all of the animosity and personal attacks upon each other, I have a question: Are we looking at a 100 loss team?

    No. Our starting staff is too good. Unless we trade our horses.

    I think we end up more around the 85-88 loss mark at worst....with a best case scenraio of 1 or 2 games over .500.
