2011 WS Championship
2012 one win from another WS
2013 two wins from another WS title
2014?

This is a franchise that has made the postseason 10 times in the last 14 seasons.
Reached three World Series in the last decade, and won as many championships (two) the past eight seasons as it did from 1965 to 2005.
Our new Manager has more post season experience than any other manager in baseball, except the Giants manager.
Three million attendance? Take it to the bank.
60 post season wins since 2004. 20+ wins more than any other team.
Only one of the last 14 seasons has been a losing one.

Maybe Grichuk can run into one.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 04-29-2014, 09:51 PM

This team just ****ing sucks.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 04-29-2014, 09:56 PM

This is starting to look a lot like 2007.

O.city · 04-29-2014, 10:01 PM

Literally nothing going right for this team right now

'Hamas' Jenkins · 04-29-2014, 10:04 PM

I should have just stuck to my guns with the Carpenter and Craig contracts. I was too soon to accept them because I like the players, but the truth is that you should never buy out years for players who are relatively old prospects and who have short samples of success.

Those contracts are starting to look legitimately bad.

O.city · 04-29-2014, 10:07 PM

I keep thinking eventually those two will hit, right?

They gotta get Adams out of the cleanup spot. That 7th inning at bat was the worst I have seen in a really long time.

He's the best option they have right now.

With that said, I think the team might want to consider moving Peralta to third, Carpenter back to second, and giving Garcia some time at short, because our defense at third and second has been shaky at best.

Also, firing Mabry would be a wise choice.

Craig seems to be warming back up. I would put him back in the cleanup and move Adams back down to sixth. At least Craig does not have a huge gaping hole in his swing.

He may not warrant the 2nd seat of every WS game but he is a gigantic upgrade of Horton and the Hungarian.

There is no reason for a repeat of that year. We have talent down on the farm. We have cap space. No need to just say this is all we need, they will turn it around.

What?

Damn, Milwakee is tearing shit up this year. Miller having a rough day so far.

Pepe Silvia · 04-30-2014, 12:45 PM

And as I type that Adams hits a 3 run bomb. Back in the lead.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 04-30-2014, 02:54 PM

Nice to see the offense break out, but this is a great example of Matheny's managerial incompetence.

Why run Choate out there for two innings in a six run game? I just don't understand putting wear like that on him. This is a situation where he should be using the ass end of the bullpen.
