Yes, consistency has been our problem for some years now. On our day we're a match for anyone, but that day is somewhat erratic in frequency. The standings don't lie and at the moment we're every bit the .479 team the figures say we are. But there is hope for the future and we've certainly made strides from last year's uniform poorness (when we finished with a .417 record). Hi Mary.

Kobiashi the same. Great review but your team is about like the Indians- sometimes good and sometimes not so good. Kobiashi the same.
