June 5, 201115 yr lets face it..this is a .500 ball team....they have a good young foundation which lacks game experience...these guys will produce huge dividends in the near future,,,we need to find some pitching...we have three good starters but after that we fall off and suck ass...hitting is also bad...the same guys come through time and time again while others with guys on base dont come through. we can look back after the year and see how many one game runs we lost which with wins would have put us in the playoffs or by best the wildcard..i know the season is far from being over...but there is no reason why any team should be beating us in the hot florida sun...just look at the 4 games we dropped to the nats....total bs....the front office needs to shake this team up...ok lets hear about the injuries....we need to reload not make excuses...
June 5, 201115 yr We're still like 15-9 (I believe) in one-run games. Can we wait a little longer before predicting what this team is? Tomorrow is June f***ing 6th and the team is actually only 2 games back of first place. Very much in it for the wildcard. Just because they've lost four consecutive one-run games thanks to a combination of bad baseball and sh*tty luck doesn't mean it's a .500 team. You don't even know what this team will look like after the 31st of July. They just have to keep battling, and it'll turn around. They're not going to hit .145 with .RISP every week. Hanley Ramirez and Josh Johnson are expected back, at some point, this month. That, alone, is a huge upgrade. The team in 2003 looked a lot worse at this point in the season than this current 2011 team, and the 2003 team won the World Series. I'm not predicting a World Series; I'm just saying that 57 games isn't enough to know what type of team we have. We're not even halfway through the season. There's a reason why GM's don't start making trades in June.
June 5, 201115 yr there is no reason why any team should be beating us in the hot florida sun Come on.
June 5, 201115 yr I don't agree with the topic or the OP. Gotta say though...with all the winning this season seeing a downtrodden defeatist thread like this makes it feel a little more familiar like home round here.

June 5, 201115 yr The team is better than a .500 team. But they need to do better to get to the post season for sure.

Come on people, I know we are all disgusted about these 4 games and more specifically the end of May and beginning of June but it's a slide, and none of the games we were out of. I won't start to worry unless we play like this against our division.
June 6, 201115 yr Wow a week removed from a 95 win thread, this is what we get :blink: The Marlins without their ace and all-star shortstop should be a .500 team and yet they still aren't.
June 6, 201115 yr I belive we are a better team then .500 I also belive we can reach the post season, that is a real possibility, I think if/when we did get to the post season I think we would get trashed in the first round though.

Who's going to trash us? The Cardinals who we split with? The Reds who we beat (I think)? The Giants who we swept? We've beaten almost every one of the good teams until we caught Arizona and Milwaukee, even though the Phillies have taken 3/5. And with JJ, Anibal, and Ricky, we could very well be competitive in any series against any team, especially a short series.
June 6, 201115 yr PANIC PANIC PANIC!!! THE TEAM IS GOING THROUGH A BAD STREAK!!! PANIC! Jesus, relax. Let the future unfold as it does, you panicking person.

June 6, 201115 yr In all honesty, I don't really have a problem with someone saying this is a .500 team. I wouldn't be totally shocked if we played .500 ball from here on out. I don't expect it, but I can see it. I have a problem with saying it after 4 straight 1-run losses, or whatever it's been, after we won like 15 out of 18 1 run games prior.
June 6, 201115 yr I wonder what Yankee fans do in times like this... "Let's face it, this is a .600 ball team."
June 6, 201115 yr I have the sinking feeling JJ will be out the majority of this year. I'm just waiting to hear that it's a torn rotator cuff or some other serious injury =(
June 6, 201115 yr PANIC PANIC PANIC!!! THE TEAM IS GOING THROUGH A BAD STREAK!!! PANIC! Jesus, relax. Let the future unfold as it does, you panicking person. Is That Wes Helms?
