Happy Memorial Hump Day!!!
2 games over .500 and facing the white-hot Angels. Miguel Batista appears overmatched by Bartolo Colon. We're on the road. And we haven't been 3 games over .500 since 2003.
Previous Hump Day efforts in 2007 have led to a 6-game losing streak just once (April 16-22). The other three times, we lost 3 of our next 4 games. With a rookie going Tuesday, but Felix going Wednesday, you can see where probabilities lie...
A losing streak could seal our doom for 2007 and leave us 7.5 games out headed into June, when young men's thought turn to the draft and the upcoming trade deadline season. This may please some of my more pessimistic readers. If so, I gotta ask, "What are you doing reading my blog?!?!! If you want pessimism (you may call it realism), head over to USS Mariner!"
For the first time in 4 years, the Mariner attempt to get over the .500+2 hump falls on a national holiday! That's gotta mean something! Enjoy the barbecue, and go M's!
