I was trying to tell you
that you were coming across the screen in a certain way.
I don’t know you from Adam and make no excuses about that. I’m sorry if I offended you, but that is how I (and others judging from the comments above) read your comments.
:deep breath: Thats all.

Sports is a passionate thing, and losing one like that stings
And Kerry has got phenomenal stuff, he just needs to throw strikes to win. So I’m extra bothered when he doesn’t. I’m also troubled about the obvious trend that has appeared in the games he’s blown.
I also apologize if I’ve offended you, but my point was valid, regardless if people didn’t like the way I said it. Kerry’s going to feel lousy about today, and he should. I didn’t personally attack him. I pointed out that he’s showing a trend during his failed opportunities. It was not the ump’s fault he was missing the strike zone, it was his. Kerry’s a great player, and my hope is that he takes his game to the next level. He’s got to.
Point taken on the deep breath.

I'm just pissed that Ankiel beat us...
...and we didn’t score when we had major opportunities to do so…
But, game’s over.Lots of positives today. We’ll get em tomorrow.
See ya all later.

Wood
Woody is our closer, Gang, for better or for worse. For the vast majority of the time this season he has been great. Remember, this is his first season as a closer. I think he is catching on pretty well for OJT.
I will say this, he has to learn to calm down and get that final out with his good stuff. He will learn. If he doesn’t, we’re screwed.
Don't blow it boys!

Oh well.
Kerry just didn’t have it today. We will give them tomorrow.

Boy....
Wood has been a decent closer for, 80+ games now. Sometimes THEY FAIL.
It’s too bad, but there ain’t a damn thing we can do about it. I did not see the bad call, but I was able to listen—poor Ronnie. (I think I heard a “JESUS!” out of him during that inning.)
In this market, Trevor Hoffman has been closing for almost 15 years - got the Padres to a damn WS - and now, that he’s on the down side, he’s booed. He’s headed to the HOF, but he’s getting booed.
Some people here just need to chill. This team is getting healthy, A-Ram may be showing signs of coming out of his slump. Lee’s hot. Soriano’s return will really help.
I think his value is now more than evident.
I’ll take 2 out of 3.

Woody had nothing on his fastball today
He topped out at 95 and I think he only hit that once.
He has average stuff today and they made him pay

On The Fence
I find myself agreeing with both sides. Championship teams go for the kill and don’t let games like today get away, and even the good ones piss away games to worthy opponents.
Still glad we took the first game so we’re assured of the top spot upon returning home.
