LisaTwink summed it up perfectly: This game was frustrating… like bang your head on the desk at work and get funny looks from your coworkers frustrating…

Postgame quote: Gardy: “Our fans don’t deserve to watch this crap.”

At any rate, fairly immediately after the game it was announced that Diamond (finally) and Hicks are both sent down to AAA and it appears that Arcia and Albers are the ones coming up tomorrow. Changes like this in August aren’t going to do anything to effect the season at this point but it might mean I don’t feel the need to shoot unsuspecting bystanders with rubber bands to relieve the stress.. then again…
