A Great Ballclub, We Haven't Got.

Well, boyos. It hasn't been pretty. But there's something to be said for being, for the most part, competitive. And really, where's the fun in winning all the time? Last August, it was kind of boring when you were consistently taking three out of four and steamrolling your way through the league.

But do you remember boys, what it was like to not start off by digging yourselves and enormous hole to climb out of? Let's go back to the halcyon days of 2007. There aren't all that many of you still around from that idyllic time but it was a good start. It wasn't necessarily a year that had the prestige of, say, a 2004 but that team took control of the division on April 18 and didn't let go once. They say ballplayers need to have short memories, so maybe you can't actually remember but can you imagine what that would be like?

It's not too late to right ship. Right now a suitable goal would seem to be to win a second game and then go from there. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.
