Medfordian Slip

They know how to lose in innovative ways that involves almost the whole team. It seems that in every game, someone else takes a turn blowing the game. Either a starter can't get through the first inning, the closer can't seal the deal, a reliever gives up a homerun or two, an infielder boots a ball that leads to runs, manager mismanages the pen, medical staff misdiagnoses an injury, etc. Long gone are the days when we can pin the losses consistently on a bad closer like Benitiez.

The bottom line is that this team, despite its "talent", consists of a bunch of losers. That's what they know how to do best, and they rarely disappoint.

BTW - I didn't even tune in last night. There really is no reason to at this point.

The collective talent needs to be called into question as well. No part of this team - lineup, bench, rotation, bullpen, manager, GM, etc. - is good enough to even minimally cover for the deficiencies in the other facets of the club. I can't argue that there's isn't a pervasive attitude problem, but I don't think it's only a problem of losing personalities or environment. There's way too much dead wood on the team.

I agree. Too many automatic outs in the offense and pitchers that can't get anyone out.

Why did I think I would see an X rated pic of a chick sucking dick when I opened this thread?

GET THE PIECE OF CRAP McGimpy OFF MY TEAM NOW!!!!!

The McGimpy does most things upside down: eats, sleeps (an average of 23 hours per day), mates, and gives birth. Because of the McGimpy's upside down life, many of the McGimpy's internal organs (liver, stomach, spleen, pancreas) are in different positions from other mammals. McGimpy sometimes lets out a cry or hissing sound.

During the rare times the McGimpy goes down to the ground (such as to change trees for food), it moves very slowly.

SI Metman

Keep Wright, Reyes, Johan, Maine and Moley (only because of contract and he does show up when he's 100%) and gut the rest.

This team's bench is bad. 2003 bad.
