< The Cs could very well go 8-2 on these last ten games and end up just 4 losses worst than last year, just like Danny said at the beginning. And all the fuss, hubbub, lamenting and gnashing of teeth over Obie leaving and the trades. Now do some of you feel a little silly?.... > - Jessen (Re: DJessen Net game notes)
No, but do you? We are 3-5 in our last eight games (1-5 in the last 6) with two scrums remaining. No problem with your optimism and enthusiasm, Jessen, just with your usual in-your-face childishness.
Seems like our God has forsaken us. Had Iverson and McInnis not gone down, we likely would never have been able to back into the final playoff spot... arguably the least desirable position in which a team can finish.
Our team is in disarray. There are the stars, Paul & Ricky; chief dissenters, Blount & Atkins; full-of-themselves rooks, Banks & Hunter; and everyone else. That comes to ten taxis for thirteen guys. Let's pray that over the summer we can begin to heal our wounds through chemistry-enhancing trades, signings, draft maneuvers, and most importantly, a Celt-friendly ruling on the Baker contract.
