most of their wins this year has been luck..............a flare here and there that was how they scored most of their runs...pathetic!
No way, no how did SD choke this year.
All polls showed they were power ranked 29th out of 30 teams on March 30.
I watched the game (what a treat Enberg is to listen to, too bad I don't always get the SD feed) Gorzellany matched Garand pitch for pitch is all.
Nobody choked anything.
WRONG.
SD spit the bit. How one can call a ten game losing streak in September with a 6 1/2 game lead and the division on the line anything other than a major league joke job is beyond me but then I've seen some of the fantastical comments you've made in the politics forum so I know you're no stranger to delusion.
But yeah, the Pad's bullpen is sick.
I hear what you are saying, the Pads had a 6.5 game lead in the final month and blew that, I get it.
But here's my point, which you may have missed, and if you did it's all good, let's say you have a Stakes Horse Race.
Let's call the favorite Speedy Petey, let's call the long shot that nobody gave a chance to win at 48-1 odds Jelly Belly.
It's a 10 furlong race, for the first 8 furlongs Jelly Belly owned a 6 length lead, nobody gave Jelly Belly a chance in hell, but alas, the long shot started to fade in the back stretch to get nipped at the end by favorite.
Did Jelly Belly 'choke', or did the horse that didn't belong there in the first place put on a game effort?
That's my point.
p.s. the poli forum is a farce, like the Rubber Room, my posts there tend to be on the inane side, well, because it's an inane forum.
Good luck with SF in the playoffs, you just might have enough pitching to do damage.
:toast:
...you just can't put that kind of pressure on your starting staff knowing that every day they take the hill 1-2 runs could beat them...that shit will wear on you....you just can't expect to win in the long run when every night 2 runs can beat you.
