“…its just coincedence [sic] and it would have happened regardless of other events.”

This.

We all know that this team wasn’t gonna take the Division, and that the pitching was due to regress / get tired (Hello, Mr. Correia!)…

The “not try” ?

I doubt very seriously that these kids would just say, “Aww, fuggit.”

I’ve watxhed a lot of baseball and since the Steelers camp has opened the Bucs have lost that bounce that was there. Otherwise. its just coincedence and it would have happened regardless of other events.
