I seriously don't get this team. They can play pretty damn well, have confidence and execute for the first month, then just as quickly sink into the same pit they've been in year after year and not do a damn thing right. Is it leadership... or a lack thereof? Is it talent... or a lack thereof? I know we could use more talent but they were good enough to have a great spring (not the same as the regular season I know) and have a good first month? So why can't they keep playing at least well enough to be .500 this month? Are they cursed? We've seen that they can play well and even overcome... until they just inexplicably can't anymore.
The 4 run comeback in the 9th a week or so ago should have inspired them and given them great confidence... you would think. Instead they go directly into a shell.
Injuries may be playing a part but you can't blame that because the guys who are playing just went from getting it done to not being able to find their ass with both hands and a flashlight.
You could call it a slump... if it were the Yankees or Red Sox or any team that has shown they can pull out of a slump and win anyway. With this team it just seems like the beginning of the end. Again.
