We are losing by 3 runs
and if we don’t score with an out left in this inning, we will go into the 7th that way (atleast).
Something we have been almost completely incapable of overcoming.

OT: Work Rant
My job is so fucking unbelievable. I’ll try to sum it up by first telling you about the folks I work with:
First, there is this supermodel wanna-be chick. Yeah, okay, she is pretty hot, but damn is she completely useless. The girl is constantly fixing her hair or putting on makeup. She is extremely self-centered and has never once considered the needs or wants of anyone but herself. She is as dumb as a box of rocks, and I still find it surprising that she has enough brain power to continue to breath.
The next chick is completely the opposite. She might even be one of the smartest people on the planet. Her career oppertunities are endless, and yet she is here with us. She is a zero on a scale of 1 to 10. I’m not sure she even showers, much less shaves her “womanly” parts. I think she might be a lesbian, because every time we drive by the hardware store, she moans like a cat in heat.
But the jewel of the crowd has got to be the fucking stoner. And this guy is more than just your average pothead. In fact, he is baked before he comes to work, during work, and I’m sure after work. He probably hasn’t been sober anytime in the last ten years, and he’s only 22. He dresses like a beatnik throwback from the 1960’s, and to make things worse, he brings his big fucking dog to work. Every fucking day I have to look at this huge Great Dane walk around half-stoned from the second-hand smoke. Hell, sometimes I even think it’s trying to talk with its constant bellowing. Also, both of them are constantly hungry, requiring multiple stops to McDonalds and Burger King, every single fucking day.
Anyway, I drive these fucktards around in my van and we solve mysteries and shit.

we will have to sit on the off-days and watch not only our team fall out of 1B but Pujols likely fall out of the lead in almost every catagory he was leading in.

Defense mostly...
A middle infield of Skip and Lugo (at SS) and a OF of Holliday and Ankiel pretty much did him in.
Good thing Holliday can hit, he sure can’t field. And Ankiel has no business in CF.
If we don't come back tonight
we will fall to 6-5 since the Holliday trade. Not exactly lighting the world afire.

"If I prepare myself, my stuff is good and I'm going to get outs. That is a fact." - Chris Carpenter
I'm torn here...
On one hand, this game isn’t over, so if Wellemeyer pitches well and keeps us in it, and we come back to win, Wellemeyer will play a large part in that. But he has to pitch well for that to happen. But then he gets his rotation spot back.
If he gets shelled, we obviously lose, but maybe he gets shoved out the door.
