I will take Tulo off your hands so you can start winning again...

DT, the problem is we can't win WITHOUT him!

WE WON A GAME, WE WON A GAME, AND THEY'RE ALL GOING CRAZY. :roll:

Actually managed to score 19 runs in the series, 13 in one game of course, while allowing 22 and lost the series. Wilson blows another save, allowing 5 in the 9th in a 3-1 game. He has 3 saves and 4 blown. There's realism for you. Could have been worse, Konerko missed a 1-15 three run jack to end the inning!

In the other game Verlander gets shelled AGAIN allowing 7 runs in 2.2 IP seeing his ERA balloon back up to 6.16.

There's some serious bad luck going on here. I don't care how bad a fit these guys may be, 7 mil pitchers don't have 6.16 ERA's pitching in AT&T.

The Good news is that Downs dropped his ERA down to 9.45 in the series.

I'm fascinated to see if this team is really this bad. I don't think this can conitinue. Of course, it's REALLY hard to play .333 for a whole season so... :roll:

Oh, and Tulo is out for only 3 more. Langerhans is out for six more, but hey, he's not Tulo so...

On the bright side - JTJ just won a free crate of cheese to go with his w(h)ine ... ;-)

JK - seriously i didnt expect his team to be off to that poor a start ... but i guess that is why we play the games - so we can be annoyed at how many we dont win lol.

AT,

Thanks for the nice comments.

I wish I were playing well enough that I didn't have anything to complain about. We're in a bad stretch, but I think this team will turn around. Probably too late to make a playoff run, but this has been crazy.

Joe, this card set has not been kind to you! :(

by **joethejet** » Tue Oct 18, 2011 6:46 pm

Not at all, I'll be glad to see it go. My lone AD team *did* a championship however!

Well, we finished off our non-Tulo stretch at 2-13. Amazingly bad. Wow. Guess we'll see if we can play with him now.

During this stretch we lost 3 by one run and six by two.

ACTUALLY we were lucky to win one tonight. Had to get a HR from Fontenot int he bottom of the 9th and then score two in the 10th to win. :shock:

Of course, not so lucky in the other two, losing 3-1 and 5-4 leaving 13 on in the latter.

Joe, I empathize. I'm having the same injury issues with Thome and can't win without him.

Thought the Pujols/Ethier trade would improve OB but hasn't yet. Too many solo hr's.

Thanks Stoney. Yeah, kind of blows don't it?

Taking a look, you definitely have a low OB team even with Al and Eth. Either really good or really bad. LOTS of HRs however.
