Pen Blows Late Offensive Rallies

We feel like we've already written this recap a too many times this season. No lead is sacred anymore.

Reasonable Game Play Squeezed
It's great that the Friars got some extra base knocks and round trippers in Houston. But Minute Maid Park's left field porch is the antithesis of Petco Park - or it at least seems like it. We'd do the research, but at the moment would prefer to put recent events in the past. In the spirit of Alton Brown, we'll save that topic for another post.

The One That Got Away?
Doug Brocail's unique ability to give up a seemingly safe lead suggests that he'd fit perfectly in the Friar 'pen this year - he's got to be the free agent that got away. We're sure the team and specifically the bullpen will turn it around before long. Let's just hope it happens sooner than later. Beating up on former skipper Bruce Bochey seems like a the perfect opportunity to kick off a winning streak.
