What Makes This a Successful Homestand?

[welch]

Pulling the pieces together and winning two from the Cardinals. After game 1, that's good. No idea what number of wins makes it successful. Making fewer errors is part of success.

[PowerBoater69]

3-0 against the Angels

That sucks.

[wpa2629]

Not sucking would make it successful

[mitlen]

Not sucking would make it successful

 

So, this is what it's come to?

[wpa2629]

So, this is what it's come to?

Hell yeah

I'm PISSED on what planet don't you pull Clippard after he walks the 190 hitter?? Why isn't your Loogy warming up before Ibanez gets to the plate?


HELLO!!!???


I'm pissed

Wasn't poking at you specifically but we all had high expectations.    Now, we're settling for not sucking.    I'm on that bandwagon as well.   

[imref]

so at this point, to make this a successful home stand we need to take the next two from the Angels, and 2 out of 3 from the Padres IMHO.

4 gamer with SD.

Need 2 from Anaheim and 3 from SD to give us a 7-4 homestand.

[Ray D]

2 out of 3 from the Padres IMHO.

But we have four with the Padres.  So do we need 2 of 4.  Or 3 of 4?   

Anyway the answer to the question is: Nothing. The homestand is a failure, after tonight's sorry-assed excuse for a game. What a godam waste of time sitting through it.   This team is a pathetic bunch of sissies.

sorry, thought we only had 3 against them, yeah, 3 out of 4.  If we go 5-1 in our next 6 it's a success.  Even 4-2 would be OK.

[Ray D]

  If we go 5-1 in our next 6 it's a success.

Maybe, but it's a moot point.  We will get swept by the Angels and win one against the Padres.

[nats2playoffs]

I said 7-4 in my "YNOT" prediction so I'll stick with that, of course I haven't gotten a single point yet in any other YNOT predictions so what the heck do I know   

Not true.

skippy YNOT Results:
Editon 1: None
Edition 2: 3 correct (Questions 7, 8, 9)
Edition 3: 2 correct (Questions 2, 6)

[GburgNatsFan]

I wasn't diminishing the wins. I was just pointing out that the Nats have a ways to go.

And last night's late inning Desi meltdown proves it.

[spidernat]

Only one poster considers this a successful homestand.   

[Ali the Baseball Cat]

It was very successful for the Lerners.  April games a few years ago rarely had more than 8-9k.

5-6 /= Success

[Slateman]

Not a successful homestand.

Split with the Cards was good. The Angels series was simply awful. As was the Padres. You can't have two mediocre times like that on the schedule and not clean up.

[monkeyhit]

Success is a relative term. This is who they are, so 5-6 is only slightly disappointing.
My interest is how they do against the so-called weaklings, Houston and Philly. I suspect they will be more disappointing.

I didn't see "bottle of scotch, and a handgun" as an option

The Angels and Padres were also so-called weaklings. This was the stretch to gain on the Braves.

If the goal is playoffs, it's disappointing when they can't sweep teams like the angles and padres (I.e. so called weakling)

Philly is 13-12, we're 14-12.  Who's the weakling?

[Ray D]

Philly is 13-12, we're 14-12.  Who's the weakling?

Both.

[DPMOmaha]

Philly is 13-12, we're 14-12.  Who's the weakling?

Dodgers and Cards are 14-12 as well. Defending world champs are 12-14.

[NationalHeat]

No one being lost for 4-6 weeks.
