Heartbreaker #2

Enough with giving up grand slams already...

I'm really trying to look on the bright side here. last year, there's no way we hang around that long in a close game last night. Our pitching corp has come a long way from 2006. This lineup can't continue to hit this badly. They just can't. They're better than this. And hopefully they come around soon. The Royals are just the team to get healthy against.

Loewen was not as sharp as his last outing but pitched with poise in some difficult spots. Good stuff.

Regardless, it was painful to let that one get away. Not quite as painful as listening to Jim Palmer refer to our reliever "Charles Bradford" but painful nonetheless.

At least the Yankees and Sox lost. At least Mussina has a bad hammy.
