But I may lurk in silence, as everything was fine last night (up 2-0) until I came on here, and then Demps implodes with the granny to Loney. Not feeling very presonally confident with the karma right now.

Fontenot may be the least likely looking home run hitter. He packs a big punch with his 5-foot-8 physique. Where's the power come from?

Say what you want about Dome

he can at least do the little things correctly majority of the time. Also, a lefty gives a better shot at moving a runner to third, and majority of his ground balls are hit to the right side.

Wow, I hate to say the word choke

but both Dero and Lee lookd very shakey on those plays. If Z can get out of this with just 2 runs it will be a good job….

“stay positive. Lot of game left.” Has anything that this offense has shown the last 4 playoff games that would make anyone think they even have a remote chance at winning this game?
