Man, and you haven't seen the Thunder series I played this morning yet.

For a while the offense hummed, and then it stopped.

Also, the rotation went progressively more sour over the year. The only one that got better over the year is Nakayama.

I don't have any magic beans, unfortunately. We have a bunch of "surely he'll be good" infielders in AAA (and they never are). Much of what we do going forward will be decided by the singular fork in the road of Rich Monck being a type A free agent or not after this season. If yes, I want to cash the draft picks. If not, we might actually still resign him.

It's not like AAA is full of guys raising two paws and begging to be brought up. I actually already put in the Fun Fact for the upcoming week (come back in an hour or two), and you'll be shocked to learn how many (few) players we used this season. There were no applicants, with perhaps the exception of Jake Flowe.

Yeah, no, it's not gonna get good overnight.
