Deja Vu, Part 2!

The title even rhymes! Happy Father’s Day, first of all, to any fathers reading this.

You all know (or may not know) that my last post covered the fact that we lost 12-5 twice in a row. That hurts. Well, it happened again. We lost today by a score of, yes, 12-5. There were no errors; that was a bit of a shock, but I still feel like punching my computer. Even more annoying is that our number one pitcher, not Zack Greinke, but Gil Meche, lasted 3 and 1/3 innings and gave up 9 runs on 9 hits (remember, no errors, and he only gave up two walks). Even more frustrating is the fact that Albert Pujols knocked in half of the Cardinals’ runs. Yes, I know he’s arguably the best player in the game, I still hate it when somebody knocks in 6 runs and gets his team their second grand slam of the series. When will it end? The lone light at the end of the tunnel is that we aren’t the Washington Nationals, who just recently won their 20th game. We’re only 8 1/2 back! We aren’t 16 games back like the Nats! Oh, wait, what’s that? The Diamondbacks are 16 back, too? That’s irritating because they managed to knock in 24 runs to our ten in their last two games of the series.

The loss today brings our run total in the last five games to:

Them: 53
Us: 21

Now, scoring 21 runs isn’t bad, but giving up 53 is. Our average runs per game is 4.2, which is very respectable. Our average runs given up per game is… let’s just say much less respectable (10.6).

I’m too aggravated to go on, let me just say congratulations to Tony La Russa for his 2500th win, even if it did come against… *cough* the Royals.
