Mojo Watch

Last night: ugly 9-6 loss to the Rangers, 10 innings.

Blame: plenty to go around. Rafael Betancourt, usually reliable, gave up the tying runs. Jensen Lewis was awful in the 10th, throwing the ball around the park and making bad decisions. Paul Byrd was pretty bad but held on through sheer guts and guile longer than anyone thought based on the first couple bad innings. Hitters allowed themselves to get shut down by the Rangers bullpen, without Gagne or Mahay.

Streak: Lost 4

Mojo Watch

Team - None

Pronk - None

Mark Shapiro - Small slice of Mojo leftover from Lofton deal failing rapidly

Paul Byrd - Mojo falling rapidly

Ryan Garko - Currently at maximum mojo, but unable to bring team along
