Heartbreaking, this is no consolation for this loss, but I can still say this team has really shown improvement this year, and they are capable. Hopefully this loss will be the fuel that fires this team next year, this loss was heartbreaking for fans and the team alike. It's a loss like this that can fuel the furnace, build on, and forge the future, because these players are, and were, competitors in every sense of the word. 

The pitching failed last night, the bats were fighting, but in truth, this young pitching rotation has yet to mature fully, and who better than an ex-pitcher like Mr. Black as coach, to bring it to full fruition and maturation of being consistently competitive, going into the future. 

This season has truly shown what can be, and that has been a remarkable improvement over the many seasons they were out of it, sometimes before the All-Star break.

Other than this loss, no regrets for the direction this team is going. Power on through, never quit the fight!
