Playing with ridiculously early numbers.

Batting
Runs - 16 - 29th in MLB
Hits - 50 - T-22 in MLB
Doubles - 5 - 30th in MLB
Team Average - .250 - 18th in MLB

Pitching
8 HRs given - Right in the middle of the pack
41 Strikeouts - Right in the middle of the pack
24 Walks - 16/low 33/high
Opponent On Base - .382 (!) - 28th
ERA - 6.23 - T-27th

We knew the pitching was going to be bad. There was only a little glimmer of hope inside of me that wanted the pitching to be better than we expected. Whats with the batting? Kyle Lohse retiring 24 straight? Watching these guys... there's not enough beer it seems.

It's getting very old bashing on these guys, yet there is nothing I can say good about this team. Albert Pujols continues his reign of King Everything Against Houston. 6 games is like 3% of the season, but it's sure easy to get discouraged about a 1-5 start. Roy gets hammered, our batting is crappy on epic levels, our farm system was unanimously ranked 30 of 30 in the MLB. Were we insane to listen to Cecil and everyone agree with him about the 90 game thing?

I hope they run like the next 10 straight to get our hopes up again.

6 games is way too early to come to any conclusions,but, yeah, we're done. We suck.

Try and enjoy baseball for baseball's sake. You know, get into that lame-ass, wussy zen-shit.

Cuz we're not gonna do much actual winning.

4th Inning
6 to nothing Pirates
Moehlelerlelrelre is out after giving up 5 and apparently is hurt. We haven't scored a run in what feels like a week. Brocail is on the DL. Russ Ortiz coming from the bullpen.

We've got the NL central RIGHT where we want them baby!!!
