I know there is still a chance to reach .500 for the 1st month of the season...but I am always scared of another 2005 June happening to us.
With our aged and injured starting staff and injured and inexperienced bullpen...is it wrong for me to worry about another .500 season with an 85+ Million payroll?
After all, there is one MLB ballplayer that makes more than the entire Florida Marlins payroll...the same Marlins that are leading what is, arguably, the most competitive division in the NL...(the NL West is pretty damn tough too!)
Folks, we are 5 and 9 overall and 2 and 7 on the road...and 0 and 7 in one run games.
People are hurt, people will come back, ...Tex will start hitting, ...But with Philly, the Metropolitans, and the Marlins (who have astounded me btw) ...have we lost too much ground?
No one has ever made the post-season after starting 0 and 5...but the Tigers made it to 0 and 5...and they also went to 0 and 7...with perhaps the most dominating lineup in the game today...(some argue in the entire history of the game.)
So, have we lost too much ground...or do I need to wear my UT Vols shorts under my pants? Should Glavine brush his teeth and chew licorice between every inning? Should the Bravos only eat chicken on the day of the game? Should we have the Braves spit in Big Papi's batting glove and have him pat them on the back? Should all Bravos avoid stepping on the foul lines when leaving and entering the dugout?...should they not change their socks?
