Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 4688445, member: 289"] What did the man say? "Late game heroics can remove the stench of an ugly game". I understand the impact of injuries, the gamble on pitchers way past their normal prime years, slumps by veteran players and shaky performances by rookies. But Buck Showalter got manager of the year last year by turning a team with shaky potatoes into a team that did everything right, not giving anything to other teams that they didn't deserve and taking full advantage of every opportunity. This team doesn't do that at all. OK, maybe they are pressing because of all the adversity. But this is, to say the least, a veteran ballclub that knows how long the season is and that you build your record game by game. They shouldn't be making silly mistakes. Now come the post- Braves/Yankees let down - and we've already lost 9 of 11! [/QUOTE]
