FMJRA 2.0: On An Even Keel

Well, it could have been worse – we could have spent another week in the ruts. As it was, we lost two of three to the Angels in Anaheim, one of them a heartbreaking 7-3 loss in which Charlie Hough blew the lead and the game by horking up six runs in the bottom of the eighth. Then we came home and bested the Royals; it would have been a sweep but the bats weren’t swinging for Jim Kaat in Game Two, and the Nats went down 5-3. So that leaves us at 3-3 for the week, 28-38 on the season, three games behind the Brewers and six games out of first. Next up, we’re facing the Cardinals (38-25) on Tuesday followed by the Tribe (34-32) on Friday. This will be our first tilt against St. Louis; we lost our previous series against Cleveland, but that was back at the beginning of the season when nothing was working.
Ceterum autem censeo Silicon Valley et Hamas delendam sunt.
