Hey everyone
Here’s hoping we can score some runs at some point in this game. Two runs in 6 isn’t bad by Marquis, Oswalt has just shut us down.

will be nice preview of playoffs, how about our offense decided to show up against quality sp. I think pinella needs to seriously consider what lineup he puts out there

because the offense that’s won over 80 games this year, and given us the best record in MLB… wait, what’s the question again?

I know this isn’t end of the world stuff and we still got a lot of positive things going for us even with 3 home losses, but does anyone think maybe tossing one or two of the young September callups in the lineup tomorrow might be a jump start with some new blood to get us going again?
