A Microcosm of this team:http://pabaseball.blogspot.com/2008/08/you-know-your-team-sucks-when.htmlhttp://pabaseball.blogspot.com/2008/08/still-in-1st-place.htmlJust goes to show you how awful and great things can be in a matter of 24 hours. This loss reminds me of that terrible Braves road loss last year when they had a five run lead and lost it in the final two innings. Just a kick to the gut.

I don't expect him to carry the team offensively, there's plenty of blame to go around.

Look, there are lots of problems, but Ruiz certainly isn't the biggest, nor is he the smallest. But he's a problem: Geoff said it best: "um, carlos ruiz isn't a major league baseball player..."

If we were 70-45 or whatever the Cubs are right now and our offense was playing to their potential and Ruiz was hitting like shit, would we even be discussing Ruiz's lack of production? Not at all. If Ruiz was hitting .480 and hitting in the 8 hole it wouldn't matter. I think Ruiz fucking blows at the plate. You are totally missing my point though. HE IS OUR 8 HOLE HITTER!!! The rest of the offense is the problem much much much more than him. No, Kyle…see you’re making Ruiz seem like the biggest problem.

They've been great all year. I would certainly classify our 6-7-8 (AND THAT'S RUIZ) as a concern. The least of our concerns is the bullpen. They’ve been great all year.

You are just being stubborn, really. You act like Ruiz should be an all-star. When you have a .200 hitter that's part of the PROBLEM, Phil. Wake the fuck up.
