Well, we got hammered by McNeese. It appears we just don't have the pitching to get a bunch of wins this year. The hitting and defense haven't been great, either, but those are usually more easily corrected than pitching. We'll hope some pitchers step up and start getting people out.

My request: Please go out and support the team no matter what their record is. They are working hard to be the team which gets the ball rolling in the right direction again. So let's support them for their attitude and effort, despite what the scores in the games are.

This rebuilding job will not be accomplished overnight. We really haven't been very good since the Gravy days.
