I've seen games go perfect for 12 innings all for naught. I've seen no-hitters pitched on illicit drugs. Homer streaks lasting eight games and 20 run losses. I've seen pennants won and seasons collapse. All these memories will be lost in time. Like tears in the rain.

Time to die.
poo poo, I just got home from work and nearly half of the games being played today are either over or in the late innings. Suddenly I feel like a west coaster all of a sudden.

I wouldn't until we're hot going into the playoffs.

On the plus side, one of the biggest things that kept us out of the playoffs last year was that point early in the season where we lost 19 out of 23 or whatever. Without something like that happening this year our playoff chances might be really good.

Well I meant they go on a winning streak that usually doesn't matter because it's in September, but yeah it was a pretty dumb thing to say. Blame it on my extreme cynicism with this team.

If you mean at AT&T, the last time was in 2011. If you mean in Chicago, I think the pregame yesterday said the last time was in 2003.

I'm just going to keep telling myself that they lost because the ball hit the base, and not because they are a dogshit team who will lose 90 games.

The 90 loss season is going to be really painful when they lose their 2015 first round pick signing another loving worthless closer.

Forgot it was an early game today for the Giants.

That 6-9 order in the lineup probably had Sale worried.

Adrianza and Perez have more hits this game than Morse and Sandoval.
