Well...at least we didn't get swept by the Marlins.
But yeah, team goes 26-3 when scoring 4 or more runs in the regular season, 16-0 when scoring 6 or more and then steps on its dick in the post-season when it scores 9.
Losing teams lose. And man, I don't know if this is a losing team, but it damn sure isn't a winning team. And having to burn Flaherty in this series means that any scant hopes we had of upsetting the Dodgers in a short series are likely shot as well.

Bill DeWitt Jr. is on record as saying they didn't want to sign Robert because of what they'd have to pay him later on.
