Heck, within the past week we've had two big comebacks. Against the Giants we were down 3 in the eighth and rallied to win, and against the D-Backs we were down 4 in the ninth and rallied to tie it. I'd like to see Mackowiak and Hairston get some time at second once Bradley and OG are back to full health. Blum has been nice, but I think the previous three seasons are far more predictive of his future ability than one good month.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-68239">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> 29: Most teams lose almost every time they are behind late in the game.

Our pitching has been bad, but we still have a solid pen, along with Peavy, Young and Maddux. Hopefully we cobble together the back end of the rotation well enough. Germano has been a serviceable 5th starter, so we have to hope that Ledezma/Hensley can replace what we should have had for the 4th starter. I don't know when get Bradley back, but the additions ought to help. Barrett is better than he has been, and the 50/50-ish split with Bard is not so bad. Blum has provided surprising pop at second, and hopefully NOG can find some discipline and give us some good D and passable AB's. I think our offense will be better down the stretch as we get guys back and some bad streaks end. Our 4th and 5th slots scare me, but, if they come through, we ought to be in the thick of it.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-68238">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> I am bummed to see Wells ago, especially the game that triggered it, he was pitching an excellent game until the 5th, gave up a few crappy hits and then the flood gates opened.

There was a time in May when you had a good feeling training late in a game. Now I feel like if we are behind, crap forget it. Whats more is this feeling that the bats are going wake up soon. I hope so. Remember when Gwynn came to the plate, you always had hope. Now, its like, click, lets see whose on Jeapardy.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-68236">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> 9 Thanks for the reality check, baseball is good that way, balancing numbers with emotions.
