Sheinin made a good observation today in his Post chat: by late August, water tends to find its proper level (or something to that effect)...we are playing teams that are--at least on paper--still in contention, and the results are bound to reflect the salient fact that they are in the running, and we aren't.
good point. but why would that affect a pitcher who should be pretty fresh, unless he just isn't in his groove yet.
