I have faith that we'll get things together by the time we play you guys in a couple of weeks. That series obviously will be huge, especially if one team sweeps the other.
Win lose or draw, I am so pumped for the remainder of baseball season!

Well Tim I have to be honest, I think its better to lose like you guys are getting 10 and 15 hits then it is to lose scoring 1 or 2 runs a game. As long as the bats are working you always have a chance to beat anyone.
I think your pitchers are worse than you acknowledge. Your two aces have been blessed all year with tremendous run support which has misled many into believing they are as strong as their win loss records say they are. I disagree. I have watched Beckett pitch and he gets hard even in wins. Schilling has been pitching great games in terms of being crafty and cagey but his velocity has dropped and guys can sit lonnger on his fastballs and it shows. Hes ok when he is ahead of the count, but when he is behind in the count and they can guess fastball with reasonable certainty they are getting a good enough look to tee off with a good swing. He is not gonna blow the ball by you anymore on most nights.
But as long as you keep hitting the ball you will hang in there in contention.
