    Well, that was a horrendous series. Kemp was brutal and two of our starters were bad. Lets fucking turn it around against the Giants

    I'm pissed right now...but not worried. I know this team can score runs with HanRam, and they will.

    So we have to sweep to get into first and take 2/3 to get within 2 games.

    Leadoff hitter who can play LF and a SP is the new priority. Get it done. We will win the NL West. But the road there is unbearable. I hate the Cards.

    I really want to get Rivera out of the lineup. That'd be a great.

    Yea, we're not gonna win every game and these ridiculous over reactions in this forum are getting really fucking annoying.

    The team is solid and will get better within a week. Calm the fuck down, stop being pessimistic and believe in your team and FO.

    We'll see what happens with the 2 spot. He's not much of a hitter but but when guys are on base in front of him with no outs he's usually very productive. That's why getting a leadoff hitter is so important imo. Victorino/Hart. Someone who can set the table so Ellis can be a productive 2 hitter.

    Obviously Kemp won't suck this hard so we're looking good but these games were so irritating. One of my best friends is a Cardinal fan and I'm sick of them winning lucky WS titles and juicing up.

    Every single person took step back and is looking towards the Giants series from what I've read.

    We are going to win the NL West. The road there is irritating and we're gonna hear shit from other teams and analysts on TV but we'll get there.

    HanRam should be batting fourth so they cant pitch around him every time.

    Yeah because he's the biggest hole in the lineup. Thank God we have Abreu/Gwynn,Kennedy, Loney, Treanor, the Ellis's, and Cruz starting daily.

    I hope never to see Javy Guerra in a tough RP spot ever...if they are going to keep him, then for mop up duty in blowouts one way or another. He's had his 15 minutes, and unfortunately it's so fucking over. This guy will hurt us if we really depend on him ; the cocky act was OK when he was closing games and winning them. Now, it's ridiculous when he gives up hit after hit.
    Hanley looks like he's fit right in at the 5 spot.
    However, his 3B play is a joke. That wasn't asking for Brooks Robinson to make the tag on that jarhead Holiday at 3B.
    I read that it barely matters that he fields so poorly...I hope it doesn't. Lyons was right about that play. It was pretty damn routine.


    Then be annoyed, and deal with your "glass half full" in your world.
    You know what being optimistic and believing in your team gets you if there are holes everywhere? The LA Dodgers. Check it out since 1988.
    Did we lose 3 out of 4 or not? It wasn't a hallucination, was it? Looked pretty real to me...and pretty miserable.
    We go into Fairyland thoroughly beaten up and outplayed in every aspect of baseball...get a new hero, and get whupped big time when we should be ridin' high. We were crushed; destroyed. Pitching sucked, too...not only the hitting. Overreaction? Did you watch?
    "Believe in your FO"...it sounds like a Japanese corporate brainwashing loop.
    OK , OK...we'll turn it all around.
    There.
    I believe.
