The Sting of Losing Winnable Games

Gotta lose tomorrow or it turns into one of those flukey streaks that can be entirely ignored.

ESPN makes a big deal out of the cubs losing 4 straight for the first time. We've only done that once and lost three straight only twice. I may be wrong on that, too lazy to verify.

The White Sox look to be about to feel this sting.

Toronto lost miserably.

Bases loaded, one out.

A thing of beauty no doubt.

If the Rangers can hang on it will be a great nght

That felt good.

Last night's loss still stings, but it stings a little less now.

That felt really good.

2 consecutive wins.

Now that stinging loss to the Padres back on Tuesday is but a distant memory.

A doubleheader sweep of the D-Rays.

4 wins in a row.

The agony of defeat has turned into the thrill of victory.

Should this thread be moved to a Rays website?

Really impressed with doubleheader sweep. Better get this next one before heading out to face the vaunted Padres offense

Baseball is funny. SD was historically bad on offense to begin the year, now they hit like an AL East team.

o

The Mets are on the verge of sweeping 4 games from the Cubs, the team with the best record in all of baseball.

In my rat's ass of an opinion, that is very timely for the OH.

The Mets were a slightly-above .500 team prior to their series with the Cubs, who are among the best teams in baseball. Granted that the Mets have much better starting pitching than do the Orioles, but the Orioles' offense is much better than that of the Mets. Also, the Cubs have better starting pitching than do the Mariners, so it's not like the Mets' offense was getting a break, by any means.

In a nutshell, it's par for the course over the course of the 162-game marathon season that is played every year in Major League Baseball.

Just a few days ago, it seemed to some like the Orioles' season was coming to an abrupt end.

1-6 against a mediocre Mariners team is so frustrating!

Right.

And the Orioles are 48-29 against everybody else.

Over the course of a 162-game season, I can deal with the "frustration" of going 1-6 against an average team if the team plays .623 ball in the rest of their games.

Well last night was the opposite, the joy of winning losingable games. I was so nervous when Bundy had the bases loaded with no one out and the Dodgers had other opps too,
