No surprise there. A healthy Adley will be a productive Adley once more. At least now he gets an extra three weeks of rest before Spring Training… silver linings and all.

So fess up Adley now that you have been a huge catalyst to another epic failure for this team. What is it exactly?

What did you do to address it? Did you talk about a stint on the DL to get better so you could actually help the 

team out instead of fans dreading your name in the lineup.

Another epic failure?

Since Adley got here this team has done nothing but win, after doing nothing but lose epically and historically before he arrived.

Cry more, loser.

To be fair.. win in the regular season would be more appropriate.

Good point.

I long for the days of 55 wins when we didn't have to worry about postseasons and such.

Right right after both Adley and Hyde have been saying for 2 months that he is completely healthy

So everything is great as long as we just make the playoffs? At what point is expecting to win a playoff game acceptable? Isn’t the goal to win a WS or is it to win more than 80 games?

If we’re just going to keep failing when it really matters in the playoffs then 55 wins or 95 wins doesn’t make a difference in the grand scheme of things. In fact, you could argue 55 is better for the long term.

Look, I don't want to insult you or anybody else, but arguing that a 55 win team is the same as a 95 win team is moronic beyond belief.

It's just that simple.
