It's not as bad as it looks

Okay, so today's loss makes our performance in the opener yesterday look competent.  Yes, we're losing games at home to losing teams.  However, things could be worse.  A few weeks ago, a story in the New York Times remarked that we were on pace to win 91 games, and just the other day, that same paper said we were headed for another losing season.

There really is good news.  Our starting pitching has been very good.  We've been hitting more of late.  While it is true that we've left a ton of players on base lately, you can't do that unless you are getting on base in the first place.  Five double plays in a 9 inning game may have tied a record, but that proves it's an aberration.  You need to have hitting before you get clutch hitting.

It may look ugly right now, but I have a feeling we'll be seeing a swan emerge.
