Crushing Reality

2 games, 2 losses. Losses to the probable other contender to the NL Central title. At home, no less.

Not a good way to start the season.

Today's game was rather unsettling from all angles. Is this really what we are to expect for the rest of the season. I still have hope that the team will get its act together. However, I would like to see something more than mere glimpses of their potential...an at bat here, a few innings of pitching, a nice fielding play. Thus far, there have been more glaring, ugly moments than shining performances.

Having to hear Santo on the radio as this game slid slowly out of hand was enough to make me ill. Whatever the man's deficiencies as an announcer, he exudes genuine emotion. There is no greater expression of my own sickening feelings about a pitiful performance than Santo moaning in the booth.

On the plus side, Alou finally let Bartman off the hook. So, you have that going for ya, fans.
