Any Bullets Left?.....Or Going Down In Flames?

[SteveO]

Lamenting about something that has not actually happened (playoff elimination) only gets you the privilege of having been a whole lot more sad, butt hurt and pouty about it than the rest of us for whole lot longer. Really not worth aspiring to in my opinion.

Talking about next year is one thing, giving up on this year seems kinda wasteful. Baseball is a strange and wonderful game, don't let your disappointment ruin that until it has to

I think we still got 1 more run in us.

A Buck and Jones led team won't go down without a fight.

September call-ups are on the horizon as well.

I hope you're right but we better have a 3-4/ 4-3 trip lay the groundwork for a run.

I don't know if it's truly over until it's actually over. But it's a rough schedule facing us. The O's need to take this one game at a time. Think only of the current game and don't think of anything else coming down the pike.

I've said plenty in other threads about DD's doings during the off season, so I won't go over these here. Right now, we have the players that we have and we have to go with them. See what happens.

This team has what it needs to compete. I don't blame Dan for one minute for this mess. The pitchers need to pitch better and the coaching staff needs to coax it out of them. We need timely hitting. It's a rough patch right now. Things were gloomy, then we swept the A's and everything was amazing, and then we lost five and it was gloomy again.

I only have 4 Bullets left but I'm going to make a run to the beer store very soon now. All is well.

Would it even matter if we made the playoffs? Our pitching isnt good enough to make any kind of run. It would only lead to more heartbreak.

This is a catch22. The only way we make the playoffs is by going on some kind of run.

Gonzo going 7 strong would be a nice start. Buck needs to realize he needs to start going to the bullpen in the 5th and 6th innings. That's what it's going to take.

As backbreaking as the past four games have been, I really don't think this team is going up in flames or spiraling towards a 70-something win finish.

However, the losing streak has done enough damage that our playoff odds have gone from reasonable to serious long shot in a very short span. I'm still watching, but with three teams now ahead of us for WC #2, things aren't looking good.

I've basically stopped paying attention.

Paul Janish will lead us out of the doldrums we've been in for the past 5 days. Book it.

I'm score watching on my app and checking the board, but I'm not tuning into these games
