Not much to say other than they stink, they stink really bad right now. Over the last six games they have had six straight quality starts by their pitchers - six innings or more with three runs or less - and they have a 1-5 record to show for it.
They have a much needed day off tomorrow and are probably all too happy to say adios to April.
Like everyone else, I take solace in the fact that they are getting good starting pitching on a consistent basis and if Berkman and Lee can start hitting anywhere close to what they're capable of, then the season is by no means over. Both have shown flashes that tease us that they may be waking up, but they still haven't been able to string together any decent performances. Berkman apparently is only concerned with making sure that Chris Burke doesn't get his feelings hurt, not winning ball games.
Also, when is this team going to get rid of Morgan Ensberg? Loretta and Lamb have delivered when they've played whereas Ensberg just continues to come up short in crucial situations.
It's time for Purpura to turn the page on Ensberg and Lidge. I know he has a special place in his heart for both of these guys, but they are flat out not helping the team right now and have not for a while. If you can get a bucket of balls, a few fungos and some team to absorb the salary for these guys, take that deal and don't look back.
