Waning InterestThankfully I didn't see the eighth last night, which I heard was atrocious. There are two levels of baseball fan in me. A level where you care so much that you write a blog about it, and a level where you check the box score every day, take girls to games on dates, and watch an occasional game if you aren't playing frisbee. Had I seen the eighth, I would have dropped down. I almost did on Sunday, but we pulled out that game. Wins at this point just may be delaying the inevitable unless we go on a nine game tear.Seems like Tike and Dirty are platooning with Mackowiak getting bounced in between every day. Don't like it. Pat's right, Macks and outfielder and should be playing thier everyday he plays, which despite last night, should not be everyday. I am a Mac supporter but his actions are becoming more and more indefensible. More on that later. The Mack position arguement may be moot though because Castillo's out today and he may be injured. I'm not sure though, didn't exactly see what happened yesterday. Honestly though, I rather have Tike in there then Matt Lawton, and I'm serious. He is absolutely killing us more then anyone else. You remove him and you flip flop our record in one run games. I don't care about his homeruns or on base percentage. He isn't clutch and gives up plenty of runs in the field and looses about as much on the basebaths: I was ecstatic he slid when he stole second yesterday. However, today we field a lineup that includes neither of them; I predict a win for that sole reason. posted by Rory at 11:04 AM | |
