So now we are a game out of first place in the AL West. Where did our four game lead go? All the excitement of the early season is now officially gone when I realized that the "pre-packaged bankruptcy" deal was thrown out. I'm seriously nervous about the July 31st trade deadline and draft coming up. Tom Hicks is still haunting us! I don't think Greenberg will take the reins until the end of the season at best. We have huge gapping holes in our lineup that would be fixed soon if it wasn't for the ghost of Hicks. Starting at catcher, Treanor and Ramirez are JAGS (just a guy). I wouldn't expect them to bat better than .250 and their defense isn't anything to write home about. The other glaring hole is the center field, but I believe we have a fix for that in David Murphy. Why Wash, Why? Get ol' Murph in there. Stop wasting time with Bourbon! First base is killing us. If Smoak was better defensively I could kinda live with his bat, but a .175 is pathetic. I still wouldn't bring Chris Davis up from Oklahoma, so our only option would be to ...oh wait the ghost of Hicks again.
I'm actually not that worried that Holland is on the DL because that brings up my favorite Tommy Hunter. Also, when Holland comes back we might be wanting to sit Harden down by then.
VOTE FOR CRUZ, GUERRERO, & ANDRUS!!!!
