As unbelievable as Dan Haren was tonight...and I mean spectacular...from both the bump and at the plate...for him to go out without a win was an absolute disaster. I really feel for Haren - the guy does everything possible, and that corps of guys out in that pen are a complete disaster. Tony Pena looked worse tonight than last night...loading the bases up before handing the ball over to newcomer Daniel Schlereth - which in my mind was inexcusable to put him in that situation. Hinch doesn't have many options out there, but for a guy just called up last Friday, it's not the right call in that big of a stage. Sure hope that doesn't hurt his confidence down the road.
This was one of the most disappointing losses I can recall in the last 10 years. Just when you think they're coming together...they fall right back apart.
