I'm just glad baseball is back. Who cares we blew a lead?

It would be nice if Holtz could make the team, but the deck is stacked against him with today's performance.

Here's more about the game; it's a bit more in depth.

Unfortunate. Let's get these losses out of the way in Spring Training and save the wins for the regular season...:D

I second that, though this early half of the guys will be gone in 3 weeks or less. I noticed almost none of our semi projected starters even got a hit.
