Avoid the sweep guys

[Providence A's]

and we got swept. Every pitcher gave up at least 1 run with Haren giving up 7 (he's looked awful his last couple starts) and Calero giving up 5 runs and only getting 1 out (figures because I picked him on a few fantasy teams to help lower my era and whip)

oh, we lost 16 - 7 if you didn't know

and we got swept.

Hey, don't feel too bad. The M's are getting swept right now!

I saw the game on TV this afternoon. How many freakin runners are they gonna strand this year? They could have easily jumped ahead by a whole bunch of runs when Park was pitching. They certainly had their chances. This is getting VERY old and VERY tired. Things better change quickly. Chavy needs to start hitting like he knows how to and make his presence felt in that lineup. Billy isn't gonna rescue him by trading for another power hitter to pick up the slack. This is how the lineup's gonna be all season.

Haren better get back on track...I was worried about him in the first place...the only part of his track record that was good was relieving in the playoffs last year, otherwise he didn't have a great year and his first year was worse

I hope Taylor is happy about his team at least.
