[Malike]

Man, this series is killing the run differential!

I don't disagree with that, but Gunnar and Westburg have made bad plays in this game and have been as equally as effective as Mullins with the bat. I have the luxury of loving this team but I'm not emotionally tied to wins or losses, they don't bother me, I've seen the leanest of years and watched teams devoid of all talent lose a lot.

This slump doesn't bother me at all, I know they will make moves, I know they will be a good second-half team and I know they will go to the playoffs.

I told a mother her son was shot in the head on Tuesday night and is no longer with us. Baseball is what I watch to relax, I can't imagine freaking out over a bad stretch, but that's just me.

Where can I send you’re better than anybody else in this thread award?

At least this butt kicking will finish up before 9pm.

Something like that would break me. Don't know how police officers or doctors do that.

It's one of the things that gives real perspective. I've loved this team for more than 40 years and watch every night I can with MLB.tv but losses don't hang with me, I guess baseball just doesn't feel like real life when you have to see the most horrible things.

I do understand this is not a perspective that most people take with regard to their favorite team and I don't fault people for it.

Do you not see what our pitching staff is? Come on man. Wake up.

This is laughable. Look at the entire sport. Are teams throwing 5 great SP’s out there? No. You think they aren’t adding anyone?
 

The team isn’t playing well. Suarez was not as bad as the line score tonight. It happens. 

[TopGunnar]

Oh for Christ sake, get rid of this guy already. 

[Emory Eagle]

Oof, been working a lot lately and haven’t been watching the games… just checked the score and I guess I’m glad I didn’t waste any time on this one.  Are we like 3-16 against the NL central this year?  Good god.

[Malike]

Oh, wow, Jorge Lopez. We still have a shot!

[OsFanSinceThe80s]

As bad as the offense has been recently the defense might be worse.

I am curious what Hyde says after the game. Of course MASN doesn’t show the whole presser. 

[forphase1]

That perfectly sums up this game and the way we've been playing lately. 

[Gurgi]

Find an injury with Mullins and send him to AAA to figure it out after a week/ten days off.

Break looks to be coming at the perfect time. 

[eddie83]

What is going on.
