So disheartening to jump ahead 3-0 in the top of the first against a great team in their yard and and see the game spiral out of control two innings later. I keep wondering what the real feelings of AA and McGuirk are. Do they have ANY real regrets for spending money on real estate instead of a few good reinforcements for the pitching staff (especially after we were falsely told that 'payroll will increase')? They remain cloistered, out of sight, no comments. I can't help but feel that they think that we are all dumb enough to attribute this disaster totally to injuries and therefore AA and McGuirk get a pass. Lindsay, I hope you're right that the off-Thursdays will eliminate the need for more 'inning eaters' from the DFA list. The Braves' hitters shouldn't have to endure that any more than we should.
