oh, snap

a rather inauspicious beginning for weaver, i would say.

perhaps the whole thing wasn't his fault. after all, randy flores did come back from injury just in time to suck against a tough opponent. josh hancock wasn't the pitcher i've been touting all year, and josh kinney gave up a couple more home runs to go with his first major league pitch.

it's the anemic offense that upsets me most. facing the offensively hottest team in the nl right now, i could have accepted losing that game 15-9, but not 15-3. what is our problem with left handed pitching? are we destined to make it to the divisional series, only to have (hypothetically let's say) the padres trot out a few aa lefty starters and have us cool petco park with our patented new high powered fan system?

let's hope the guys (including jeff weaver) put it behind them and move on. i can't take another losing stretch right now.
