Burton and Lincoln suck. If Rhodes had come in we may have kept this game from running away from us. This team has spirit though. How many times have we seen in previous years the team as a whole give up on a three run ball game. We came back and tied this game up once, but Burton screwed us over in the sixth. Owings didn't look that great, but he got passed over in the rotation previously. It's been 10+ days since he's seen action and it showed. Still, he didn't look any worse than Arroyo. Starting pitchers need to get it together (except for Harang who looks great already). Relievers need to get it together (except for Rhodes and surprisingly Weathers). Bruce made a great catch tonight, but he needs to sit the bench for a few games as punishment for his sorry offense. Where's the Bruce who came in mid-season last year and rocked the ball? Props to A-Gon who got his first hit of the season, but he's still not off the hook. The left field platoon is looking pretty good so far, although I was very skeptical of this at the start of the season.
