Al Bundy: I guess it's a matter of the degree of stench you're used to. This team has at least been competitive at times. They're not buried in the cellar, their usual home over the past twenty years. They are maddeningly frustrating on offense, but pitch much better than in years past. So, although they now lose 4-2 instead of 8-4 most nights, at least they offer a sliver of hope most of the time. They usually come up about two clutch hits short of winning. So I won't give them a D so far, I'll give them a C. They're pretty much what we all figured they'd be back in April. Now, if they tank in the second half, a D would be more than fair.
