How much of what happened today can be attributed to rotten luck? And yesterdays game could probably be attributed to good luck. They say these things have a way of balancing themselves out over the course of a season. It's not supposed to happen on consecutive days. The rational part of my post is now over. You get into a stupid, dramatic little dugout tussle not good enough to split anyone's lip. Ned comes out and says, "Yeah. I meant to do that." Then you add some fuel to the "needed spark" fire by winning to gritty games. AND THEN YOU COLLAPSE IN MONUMENTAL FASION IN A PACKED HOUSE. As much as yesterdays win was a team effort, today's loss was as well. Errors called hits. Pitches hung over the plate on 0-2 counts WITH 2 OUTS! You had a chance to apply some pressure and get out of town with a sweep AND YOU THREW IT ALL AWAY. BAH! Anyone looking to win the NL Central, please step forward AND SHOW YOURSELVES. Ahhh.....
