Bad Luck Teams for this Season

[Daniel]

After watching my team flounder in every 1-run game this season (define a 1-run game as any match decided by 50 points or less), I have to wonder are there any other hard luck teams out there?

My Jays are a hideous 0-10 on 1-run games, leading to a terribly underperforming record on an already difficult division. Anyone else suffering from my woes?

I was loosing a lot of games in the first 3-4 weeks because I had two holes at CI.  I think had I been healthy I would have won a few more.  Not that the :SD: can compete with, say, :TOR: but I had woes to begin the season for sure. 

A bright future though:  Baez, Brentz, Franco, Meyer, McCullers, Tapia, Maness a second overall this year and boom.  Great looking future.

0 and 13 now after another heartbreaking loss. 50 points more per week and the Jays would be 30 and 26 instead of 17 and 39. Looks like the Jays need one or two more consistent contributors.

Ludwick and Beckett can be had :p

Bad luck or bad judgment.....hmmm" probably a little of both.

I "re-signed" Tim Lincecum when he was "The Freak" and then he starts pitching like "a geek" for $23m;

I trade for a hot prospect C in Jesus Montero and then he underperforms and is shipped back to the minors;

I sign Luis Cruz based on a productive 2012 and then he plays himself onto the bench by going 0 for forever!

Then Ryan Vogelsong goes into the tank, then just when he looks like he's going to snap out of it, he gets hit by a pitch and breaks his fingers!!!

So, in a division with the Dodgers and the Rockies, I keep plugging along hoping to get a win here and there.

Go Giants!

Angels :LAA:, White Sox :CHW:, :KC: Royals, :ARZ: Diamondbacks, :TOR: Blue Jays, :SEA: Mariners, and :TB: Rays have the most points scored against them.  That shows you how good Tampa is this year.

While we're talking bad luck or more like bad judgement... I had the opportunity to extend any players after taking over for Seattle and let Chris Davis walk right into free agency.  Oh well, who saw this season coming for him?

 - Ike has cratered
 - Butler lost his power
 - Hamilton forgot how to hit
 - Jay had two good weeks
 - Reddick is batting my weight (see Ike)
 - Giavotella had sex with Dayton Moore's wife so he gets to be in AAA again
 - Brandon Morrow stinks, plus he cost me Tommy Millone
 - Ryan Kalish and Wilson Ramos are made of whatever Yugo's are made of
 - John Jaso goes to the land of moneyball and forgets what moneyball is
 - Adam Eaton got hurt
 - Didi Gregorious was dropped so I could pay a signing bonus that was part of an antiquated and now changed system
 - Ike Davis stinks

What have I learned? Never trade with the A's

Don't worry, oin my first year I traded away Jose Bautista with a contract of 1.5m for three years for virtually nothing... Still made the playoffs, but I keep thinking that with him I may had gone all the way.
