I like to think that we've been up against baseball's top closers for the past month.

by not completing a dempster deal when he was arguably at the peak of his trade value

 

by not selling a stock at its apparent market high

Fortunately a 6 inning/4 run start will do nothing to change that.

Yeah, it's not like they've won something like 15 of those games, or that it's a loaded stat considering a bunch of those games have been wins at home where they don't even get a chance to score in the 9th.

Yup, that 1 shaky start inning from a guy who's been a beyond consistent front end starter for the past 4.5 years sure doomed our future. We'll be lucky to get James Loney and a 28 year old AA loogy now. Too bad he didn't throw a no hitter. Then they'd be throwing Clayton Kershaw at us.
