While its disappointing to be on the verge of up 3-1 and probably losing instead, its not surprising to me that we're where we are right now. This team has been one of the streakiest teams I can ever remember. They've looked great at times and totally inept at others. Unfortunately, the ineptness resurfaced at a bad time - weak at bats, fielding mistakes, shaky relief pitching, questionable moves from the manager, etc... I guess we've at least avoided some baseball running blunders in the last few games. I'm shocked that a team with so many obvious holes has gotten as far as it has and that it has given me a lot more fun than I expected back in March. I don't want to seem them go down meekly, but I'm pretty satisfied with a team that's gone this far.
That said, if they roll out the same pitching staff next year, I'm going to be pretty unhappy. They need a much better bench too. It's amazing that a team that had a shot at the World Series has so many players on the roster right not that you just don't want to see in the game under any circumstances.
