Everybody Loves A Charade

40-35 and in first place in the NL Comedy Central, a percentage point ahead of the Cardinals, yet a mere five games ahead of last place Pittsburgh.

Only one team in this miserable division won a game yesterday, the Reds, and now they are on a two game roll and are 37-37.  Does anyone out there in Screwer Nation really believe this team can make another improbable playoff run?  Does anyone out there drinking Blewer Kool-Aid by the case actually think this team has a pitching staff? C’mon already, so Hart, .246, Cameron, .243, Hardy,.228, Kendall, ‘223, and good ‘ol Billy Hall, .199 are going to “get hot” sometime soon?  Ah, July 1^st is Wednesday, so, nope.  If it weren’t for Feedler and Lucy’s offensive production, where would they be?  Probably five games out, that’s where. 

Hey, no sweat, instead of C.C. Sabathia riding to Mark Attanasio’s rescue, you might get Doug Davis this year.  Remember him?  Bob Apadaca does.  Will  they fire Macha like they made toast of Yost last year?  Doubt it, but boy he’s a real fireball in the dugout isn’t he?  Maybe FSN should start putting their camera on Willie Randolph, like they did last year with Dale Sveum, at least he looks like he has a passing interest in the game. 

Got your fireworks yet?
