"It didn’t start the way we wanted"

Manny Acta’s quote pretty much sums it up. John Patterson stunk, the team couldn’t hit when it needed too and Cristian Guzman and Nook Logan got hurt (The Post). That is bad news right?

Mr. High-Low Thomas Boswell is on the low end right now (The Post). He’ll be better as soon as they win a game though.
