Ed both of your lengthy posts are exactly correct and the fact that we've allowed these 2 bozo's to get away with such putrid performance because we've "gotten used to it" after the past couple years really is sad. These guys are supposed to be carrying the team, and instead this team has done nothing but catered to and carried them while they still hit under .300 and rarely come up with a clutch hit. Some of the swings I see these guys take are downright embarrasing.
I'm not saying they don't come through every once in a while, but the amount of hustle we see from Aybar and Trout compared to what we see from Pujols and Hamilton is substantial and dissapointing for what they're getting paid, and the amount of respect we showed by giving them multi-year contracts. These should be the 2 hardest working hardest playing hardest hustling players on the team and we just don't see it most the time. Really they should be dissapointed by themselves, and if they are, they sure don't act like it.
