9-7

It isn’t helping, it’s hurting. And it is now doing so on a nearly daily basis. Too many SB attempts. Endless hit-and-runs which fail as often as they succeed. The idea that you have to manufacture runs when you don’t have a big hitting offense is ludicrous. That’s like saying an anorexic should eat smaller meals. Robbing this team of precious runs by giving away outs doesn’t increase the number of runs this team is going to score. It’s just that simple.

Hillman has pluses and minuses. His running game and small ball idiocy is a definite minus.

Holy shit did he suck soo bad tonight.. i was holding back from beat my walls in he was soo bad. Starting from his dropped double play attempt which led to 3 runs then going to his swinging at the first pitch with the bases loaded and grounded out and lastly striking out on a ball that hit the ground with a chance to get us closer or give us the lead in the ninth.

We have Bannister vs. Gaudin tomorrow. Time to get well.

went out to anaheim. Left Westwood around 5 and was still late to the game. Got in around the second inning. LA traffic really actually is a bitch.

Game was fun, no one was really obnoxious, our seats were pretty close to our bullpen so got some cool pics of Soria warming up for the game he never got to go into.

We squandered waayyyy too many opportunities to score. We should have probably put up 5-6 runs at the least.

Tomko gave up 5 runs, but he really wasn’t getting hit too hard. He was just a pitch away from getting out of innings unscathed and giving up a run or two.

Got a Mike Scoscia bobblehead. Cool?
