Sigh... I guess BOS is getting a little payback.

So...help me understand this butthole of a manager we have...

My kid starter has a rough nite gives up two dingers...and I leave him out there for more abuse?
Why? Because I'm saving arms in the pen? 5-0 you can still come back from in the 5th inning.
Just a defeatist attitude if you ask me.

THEN...he brings in Swarsuck who was demoted as our closer (that makes laugh to say that).
and as if scripted gives up two more runs. Game over before the top of the sixth!

Our skipper is pretty bad. Never hire your friends or family. AND when they don't measure up...extend them. Good God!

Servais isn't there. It's Acta.

But Swanson needs to head south to Tacoma.

[seattlefan-daBronx]

My bad. Acta is just acting like his skipper. lol.

When your starting pitcher isn't good, and the bullpen isn't good, its not like there is a good choice. You want to use up the 3 good relievers we have in a game where our offense has dont absolutely nothing?

[seattlefan-daBronx]

oh well. The first 15 games were fun while they lasted. Geez.

Even Haniger has a hole in his bat these days. Very puzzling.
We all knew the pitching was weak.
But then the offense gave us fools gold.

Where's Auburn Terry with the minors reports???

I'm no AT, but there is nothing noteworthy that has happened in the Minors so far today. Arkansas down 2 due to a fielding error by White at 1B that gives Dunn 2 unearned runs.

What do you guys think about parity?
In football it really is any given Sunday.
In baseball it seems like there are 4 to 5 great teams built to win it all.
Then the rest are just dreamers.
Got to be a way to make the game more competitive, no?

Good Lord Swearsuck just gave up another bomb.

Yeah I mean... when one team spends $200 million and another $80 million there's not much to be said for parity. That's why it actually exists in the NFL, cause everyone spends the same.

Part of it is there are only 10 teams that make the playoffs, and for the wildcard, there is a single playin game. If they had 16 teams make the playoffs like in basketball it may be more interesting. It would make the regular season pretty boring though.
