We played like we were content with a split. If we were going to split, I would have preferred to lose the first game because I think that’s what most fans thought if were going to win 1 game in Atlanta it’ll be the 2nd game so after we won the first and Flare pitching in the 2nd, most felt it was a sure thing for a 2-0 lead but no matter who is pitching or how dominant they are, there’s always one factor that keeps the other team in the game and that’s our pathetic offense. We have hitters who have no discipline at the plate and are always trying to pull the ball and hit it out of the stadium no matter the count. This wasn’t a great performance by Flare based on what Cardinal fans have been accustomed to over the last couple months, heck it wasn’t even a good performance because we’ve been so spoiled to where if Flare gives up more than a run, he’s had an off night but he pitched well enough to keep us in the game and give us a chance until giving up that 2 run knock in the 7th. I would have almost preferred to lose something like 8-6, then at least way I could say Flare just didn’t have it tonight as the case with every MLB pitcher but I could find comfort in the fact that our offense produced but as we head to game 3, I am not sure if we can win both and nothing against Waino or DH because I am confident they’ll do their job but will our offense do theirs and most importantly can they do it for 2 games in a row?
