You're not wrong about the first three points, except that the team is missing two of its four stars, which can make any National League lineup look thin.<br /><br />You are wrong about the last point, though. I wrote this column at about 10 pm last night, basically because I couldn't think of anything else to write. That probably qualifies as laziness anyway, but I don't keep articles in the can for use at a later date.Jack Flynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16809904649660393420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7094682562158691055.post-82169953418977010872009-06-12T11:51:33.145-04:002009-06-12T11:51:33.145-04:00Johnny,
Thanks for putting a positive spin on the ...Johnny,<br />Thanks for putting a positive spin on the fact that:<br /><br />1) we just lost 2 of 3 to our main rival by blowing late inning chances, failing to get clutch hits and continuing to make boneheaded mistakes,<br /><br />2) some Double-A teams would be embarassed to sport the lineup we trot out there now,<br /><br />3) I have a stuttering problem<br /><br />My feeling is you wrote most of this positive article after Game 1 of the Phils series, and after we tanked the last 2 games you didn't want to go back and rewrite another column. Works out for me, but that's sheer laziness, Johnny.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Omar MinayaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
