I don't know about anyone else but these type of losses are worse than blowouts. Game after game is there for us to win but we always manage to lose. So close yet so far... And what do ya know, Abreu and Bowie's screwups immediately come back to haunt us.
I prefer these losses. I'd rather the young team that is destined to lose to feel that they are at least in games. It keeps them battling.
