Might actually win one with Roy pitching.

Then again I can see good ol' Tim Redding biting us in the ass for another disastrous loss by the Diastros.

I really thought May wasn't just a fluke. I thought they'd get OK enough pitching/defense and really good(and timely) hitting over the course of the season to at least be competitive(as they were in May, best record in MLB for that month I believe). I didn't expect them to make the postseason, but come on now...these guys are pathetic.

I think we need to start a petition to bring back Hunsicker. He was great for us, and look what he's done for Tampa.

Get rid of all of these scrubs. All of the coaches, all of the managers, the owner(I wish), and maybe one day we will finally be back to being a legitimate team that isn't an embarrassment to the city and the fans. Funny thing is they have some good players, they just don't have the prospects to trade for any good starting pitching, and even if they're willing to spend to get it nobody will come here over places like Boston/NY/Chicago etc..

..sad state of affairs.

Oh well. At least Fat Elvis kicks ass.
