It's wilting under the pressure of big games and pennant chases that is rearing its ugly head again. In 2005, yes the team wasn't that great, but the finished before the AS break 4 games over .500. What did they do in the second half? Worst second half after the all-star break by any team in MLB history. In 2007, they get up 8.5 games on the Cubs. They completely meltdown at the end of the year, the Braves and Cardinals series specifically come to mind where the team and Yost just completely lost it. Now, in 2008, you're seeing it again. The team is rushing everything and not thinking in games that matter. Meanwhile, Yost is just sitting there with a dumbfounded look on his face, almost as if he expects this to happen. It's a terrible team under pressure. That is why those expecting it to get better as we get deeper and deeper into the season I think are going to be disappointed.
