A 1-5 week against the Braves and Dodgers. Not that the Roxs really had a chance to get to the playoffs this year but going into this week they at least had the opportunity to make it interesting...and what did the Roxs do with the chance? Fall on their collective faces once again. Time after time this year the Roxs had the chances to turn it around and time after time when the opportunity was there they let it pass right by (kind of like men in scoring position). Anyway, the Roxs currently stand at 68-82. Nine and half games back from division leading Dodger in fourth place (yup the Giants have passed us...and how sorry are they?). Currently 40-35 at home and 28-47 on the road, the Roxs have been outscored by its opponents 685-763.
Weekly WPA leaders (overall as well):
There went the chance to finish .500 for the season. What a downer of a week. It really makes last year's run all that more improbable. Before their amazing run down the stretch they were really only projected to finish around .500 but instead went on and won 90 games. Hard to swallow that they are only on pace to win 74 this year...yikes a 16 game swing...and imagine the manager and GM still have a job?
