Lately Bello has looked like the Bello of last year getting pounded off the hill and getting behind hitters.  Since we are only going to win ONE of our six remaining games (now five) maybe Bello should be the guy to get it for us.  And Cora, get your head out of your ass and no more wing Wong in the lineup. The guy stinks to high heaven and McGuire at least can get an occasional clutch hit and doesn't end rallies with another strikeout.

Fred, we’re stuck with the Wong man, it looks like.  McGuire went out with a hand injury last night.  I’ll spare you some jokes. LOL

Bases loaded, one out. So of course there's a GIDP. Because...Red Sox.

[longgame]

Schlocka would always say that bases loaded and none out would result in nothing good.

Bello is not impressing me

[elktonnick]

In the spring I predicted 78 to 80 win season.  Looks like I was overly optimistic.

[markj]

That seals it. No chance for a .500 season. Although it's been pretty much a given for the past month.

[longgame]

6 of the last 12 seasons finishing in last place.  Heckuvajob Henry.

We gotta split with Baltimore to get to my 78 win guesstimate. Not looking too good. ATM.
