Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...
Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?

The sell-off the deadline really took the starch out of the team. They were never going to be contenders, but had the team stayed intact and Grilli not gotten hurt, I think they would have won another 5-10 games. Still not contenders and a couple of the trades netted useful pieces, so I'm not saying the moves shouldn't have been made. But they were, as nsacpi said, really grinding things out and playing fundamentally solid baseball. There was an obvious ceiling on their talent, but it's always fun to watch a team get the most out of its abilities.
