Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda

  • No need to explain the heading. I guess maybe I should stop making certain requests or predictions. I had said before the games over the weekend that we needed to take one from this series so that we couldn't leave more than four games out. So after we won the first game of the series, the mission was accomplished. Losing the next two would have been one thing, but in the manner it was done was simply pathetic.

    Anyone just 'know' that things were about to fall apart after moron Offerman go himself thrown out at 3rd in the top of the ninth? You know he got himself ejected not becasue of the call, it was becasue he realized immediately what an absolute idiot he is for taking that chance late in a close game where he was already in scoring position.

    Going back to Saturday's joke for a second. I know the situation Hermanson was brought into is exactly the type of thing we're going to need him for later in the season. But his first time one the mound all year? That was a VERY poor coaching decision. Hind sight is always 20-20 and if he had gotten us out of the inning, then we'd all be singing his praises. But before he threw a pitch I simply couldn't believe he was out there.

    ARGH!!!!! Typical! Typical! TYPICAL!!!!!
