The Good News

It's hard to see, but it's there.  That doesn't guarantee things will turn around, but:
  Tonight, their HR goes over the line by 6" - Omar's "HR" goes foul by 2'
  Of the 8 games against Az, we've lost 5, each by 1 run.  Of the 3 we won, 2 were by 1 run the other by 2 runs.  In the series they have scored 21 runs, we, 20.  We took 2 out of 3 from them at home.  Burns makes a miraculous throw; Klesko ( I think) dogs it into 3b on Sweeney's bunt.
  Several players are showing improvement/movement towards respectability:  Aurilia (I hope), Omar, Feliz, Durham, Frandsen.
  Actually, 1b is looking OK, assuming Klesko plays about 2/3 of the time (against RH starters) and Aurilia plays just against LH starters.
  Roberts will be back, healthy, in days - I think he will hit his career averages.

  This is one of those funks where everything that can go wrong, does.  We hit it hard but right at somebody; Omar yanks one, 2' foul, in a weird play, Aurilia is blocked from getting to 3b; Morris throws a great pitch and their hitter cues it off the end of the bat, advancing the runner; bench player Notgardo loses focus, allows PB advancing the runner to 2d base in late innings, usually reliable (defensively) Klesko lets one go thru his legs, Correia hangs a slider = HR.
  I don't think they are playing like shit.  I think everything - including several calls - are just going against them right now.  That is the type of thing that turns, that evens out.  Hopefully, the nubbers fall in for us, their hard hit ball hits of the wall for a harmless 2 out double, Pedro's hard smash to the OF eludes the fielder for an RBI
