Duece

Game 1 - It's hard to get too excited for a guy hitting .190 and being a total disappointment this season. But I guess I can muster something up. Cabrera was all the support that Fausto needed today. One swing of the bat. That's all. Fausto was incredible today. Complete game 5 hitter shutout. That's how it's supposed to be done. Who needs all the drama, just don't let the other team get on base and you win more times than not.

Game 2 - Again, it's hard to get too excited for a guy hitting .190 and being a total disappointment. But somehow this guy has done "just enough" today to make the headlines. Tonight, Cabrera turned an unassisted triple play. Sounds very exciting. That is unless you actually saw it. He just caught a bloop hit straight at him, took a step and touched the runner, then took another step and touched the bag. As rare as that is, it doesn't even compare to how rare it is that you have your best pitcher of the season come in, throw 9 innings of shutout ball, and to be thanked by ZERO run support and a bullpen that gets a kick out of blowing games. This really has become a problem.
