2074 Season (6/4 – 6/6 Vs Carolina Panthers (Part Deux)

60 of 162: Robby Garrett (4-5, 4.43) @ Cleveland Cornejo (4-3, 4.90)
Yikes… 2-game skid. Cleveland rocked – 8 innings with only 2 earned. Garrett rocked harder – CG, 3 hit shutout. 3B Jake O’Brien went 1 for 3 with a HR in the 3rd – punk skipped around the bases like a leprechaun. Only 3 hits for the game, 3 walks and 7 K’s. Just wasn’t our day. Side note: 1st game of the season without an appearance by a Jeter Bro. Pepper was better today for his new club… 1 for 3 with a HR and 2 RBI in a losing effort. I wonder if I can get him back? Maybe for Donny? Panthers win 2-0.

Well, crap. Swept at home by the lowly Panthers. Carolina styled on us today and tuned us up for 7 runs. Derek was back in the lineup (0 for 5) and Donny got a hit in a PH appearance. Luca went 3 for 5 with only 1 RBI. 9 K’s and no errors for the team – I feel like this is one we should’ve won. I mean we hit 4 doubles, a triple, a home run, and a sacrifice bunt! How do you lose when you put up those kind of numbers? Baseball is a fickle mistress, is she not?

Well... that was our second time being on the wrong side of a sweep this season and we've now lost 4 in a row (a season high). Bummer biscuits. The wheels have been loose for a while, let's be honest, but now it really feels like one or more have come off. In baseball you can't get too high with the highs or too low with the lows... so why do I feel like Hank Williams Jr right now? Maybe I'll make a couple more trades - I always feel better after making a trade... "Donny, can you come in here for a sec? We need to chat."
