Still #LoveThisTeam

So we're not off to the best start.  Especially with Sunday's upset.  But, as fans, we need to stay positive.  We've all been looking forward to this season, and the hoopla around it has really brought our expectations up, but we have to remember to look at our boys as a new team, they just need to find the groove, but the foundation is there.

Our past losses can really be attributed to growing pains.   Dickey's knuckleballs are a force to be reckoned with, and we just have to learn how to catch them.  Uncaught pitches advanced bases that drove in 2 runs for the first game.  We have third basemen playing second.  Bonifacio - who is technically a third basemen, has played less than 20 games as a second basemen, and has never done so on artificial turf.  We've had a string of errors, from Izturis to Cabrera, and these all drove in runs.  We didn't lose to teams that had better players, we lost because we just haven't found our groove yet.

To look on the bright side, Reyes is a ray of light.  He keeps the boys excited, keeps the fans happy, and you can tell that he just loves what he's doing.  Our two Jose's are going to take us far.  Not to mention that our beloved Joey Bats was out for a couple of games.

When fans lose hope, the boys lose hope.  They have a nice day off, then back at it tomorrow.
