I was there from the first pitch until the last one and it sucked! And of course, when we catch up, who do we throw in? Jack Taschner! Next time, just say “is Greg V. in the house?” and I’ll come in and throw with my left arm (even though I’m a righty) and I’ll give you better results! Why is this guy even on the team, let alone in the game in a do or die situation? He should have been gone when Romero came back! But instead we put him in when the game is on the line, AND HE BLEW IT!

Once Taschner gave up the 3 runs I think it was over. Tough to have to fight back from another 4-run deficit.

I think Cholly needs to put J-roll back to the 6th spot. This pop-up or strikeout business every at-bat is absolutely killing us at the leadoff spot.

You do realize that it’s the reverse of what you said about Coste. He’s had a few bad months in the majors including august and september of last year and April of this year. Check the stats. “A few good months two years ago?” He was good in all of 2006 and 2007 and was white hot for half of 2008. Again, that three month hiccup wasn’t good but he’s been playing pretty well lately. Why such a short memory?
