The sad thing is, while the pitching isn't elite, it's still pretty damned good, on paper at least. (I'm willing to wait out the cold spell, to see if that is affecting our starters. It's tough to get a solid grip in this weather.) The problem I'm seeing is mental BS. Guys not covering bases on steals. Guys throwing to the wrong base. Errors. LOTS of runners left on base. It's ridiculous.

Henn's been a legit prospect for a while, he didn't put it all together until he was moved to the bullpen. Prinz kind of just came out of nowhere. I'd have more faith in Henn.
Wow, whichever umpire decided to call the Seattle/Cleveland game with 1 out to go before being an official game, should be fired.
Unless that weather was a tornado or rain coming down so bad that you couldn't see 5 feet in front of you, that's pathetic.
