I'm sorry, but I'm not sure why you think the talent on this team should result in a .500 record or better. Lot of rookies coming and going, not a bevy of quality veterans, starting pitching staff that is questionable (playing over their heads) and a poor bullpen. If our win count starts with 7, that's be nice to see, but putting expectations of .500 on a team very much in transition is unwarranted.
