During any substantial losing streak (and anything past three in a row is substantial) I always get this irrational fear that they will never win another game. They'll finish the season 5-157 and forever live in ignominy as the lousiest ballclub in history. I've written about this before, I'm sure. But that's what being a fan is all about—irrational reactions. And goodness I'm irrationally happy right now.
Alex Cobb whiffed eight and only allowed one run in five frames but it took him 92 pitches. Once again the bullpen got the call and they answered with five scoreless (2 H, 2 W, 6 K).
