July 23, 201114 yr Walking leadoff batters time and time again after tying up the game was annoying. The offense was incapable of getting that big inning, it was all about one run at a time and with the pitching tonight, that wasn't going to help. What is up with Logan lately? Will Volstad ever return to his '08 form? I don't think he will
July 23, 201114 yr More important than the game, the postgame interview was one of the best of all-time. Jack said sh*t on the air.

July 23, 201114 yr Damn it! I missed the postgame. We can't play worth a sh*t? Is that what he said. What happened to this team. Were they ever really good? Was before June a mirage?
July 23, 201114 yr I fear the rest of the season is going to be a big fight to break .500 and stay there. I hope we can win that battle at least.
July 23, 201114 yr I haven't been able to watch all the games so you guys tell me: are we just sucking more at home than on the road or is it overall the same, even on the road? Seems like we were doing ok until we got back to FL. I can't wait to see what the FO is going to do to convince us that 2012 will be better

Hmmm, 1) fix 3B until Matt D shows he can hit for better average at AAA, 2) get a good CFer, 3) replace Buck and eat the remaining 2 years of his contract if possible, put Boner at 2nd and either trade Omar/send him to bench, 4 & 5) sign 2 really good starting pitchers and get rid of Volstad...also get rid of Wes Helms too 4-5 spots sounds about right
July 23, 201114 yr I hope the team takes a gamble and signs Vazquez for a 2 year deal if he can be good/decent like he has as of late. Let Volstad go. Trade Buck. Start Petersen or let him be the 4th OF on bench. Start Boner at 2nd, let Omar ride bench or trade Omar. Trade Leo Nunez. 2012 SP: JJ Animal Nolasco Vaz Free Agent/Hand Job/Sanabia 2012 Starting Line Up: (Positions, not line up bat order!!!) C Free Agent/Hayes/what's his name who is injured. 1B Gaby 2B: Boner SS:H2R 3rd: Free Agent/Matty D/Dobbs RF: Stanton CF: Cogs/Petersen/Cousins/Free Agent LF: Lomo in Slomo Bench: IF:Omar/Free Agent IF: Dobbs/Free Agent OF: Cogs/Petersen/Cousins/Free Agent C Hayes/whatever

I can't wait to see what the FO is going to do to convince us that 2012 will be better The thing is realistically aside from healthy players it won't be much different, but I suppose healthy players makes a difference. I'm normally optimistic but I think this team will be in a funk for years, until we build up the farm system again. Yet I still throw money at this team I figure since the logo and colors are going to change might as well bid on some teal hats. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=380356096596&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_500wt_1129
July 23, 201114 yr Trade Buck. Although I wish your quote would happen, realistically it's probably not going to. Hell Buck could be batting .090 with 2 HR's and 12 RBI's and the FO would find an excuse to his stupendous contract. Every time Hayes plays he does something good I would rather develop from with in, this all goes back to buying players doesn't always work. Fortunately it did twice with the Marlins, but then you look over at New York and see the long run of empty season in the first few years of the 21st century, it took them a while to get back to the top. /rantoff
July 23, 201114 yr we have seemingly been in this position every year since 03. some teams in better positions than others but we still have the same types of loses, the same inconsistencies, and always fall short. oh and about 100 blown saves along the way.

Will Volstad ever return to his '08 form? I don't think he will Logan's 0-fer Friday wasn't as bad as that stat shows. He was actually doing his job, aka being a team player. Moving guys over to 3rd and/or pushing runs across the plate from 3rd with less than 2 outs. Still, he is in a bit of a slump when it comes time for an AB that is for him, for lack of a better way to put that. Gaby is more to look at. His numbers have been steadily falling for quite some time. Made a pretty nice defensive play and did get a dinger, but...

I have been supportive of them in the past, but it looks like it might be time for some changes.

Either a chinese knockoff or it was "second" quality overstock because of the improper sizing.
July 23, 201114 yr What is up with Logan lately? When blasting Hanley he said something about Hanley hitting below .200. Well, he's hitting below .200 since then.
