ArrrrghGT, 7/8 @ Steeltown

[Guest Bret Sabermetric]

Hey, shit happens. Good teams lose a third of their games. It's a long season. When the going gets tough, the tough get going. It's a marathon, not a sprint. You're never as good as you think you are when you're winning, and never so bad as you think you are when you're losing. Ballplayers are humans, and humans make mistakes--the idea is to learn from the mistakes you make.

The Castro one is the killer, since all the others, more or less, were cases of guys not getting it done physically. If Castro scores we're presumably still batting.

Oh hell. I will try and speak no longer of this game.

A glimpse of Acta was seen in one of the shots, he was considerably down the line which is where coaches usually are in those situations. Couldn't see what he was doing at that moment. What it sounds like is that Cairo was running up Castro's ample butt due to Ramon's initial mis-reading of the hit in the first place. Acta was probably in the midst of a 'you go - but YOU stop' pantomime which led to Castro's second mis-reading in the span of 10 seconds or so.


All I know is that one night's sleep and one long bike ride later and I'm still pissed off.

That's the last thing to be concerned about, esp considering Jose has done more than his share tearing up the basepaths and taking walks the past couple of days.

Can we lay off Willie? Can any of this game really be considered his fault?
