08:14 AM ET 05.16 | Javier Vazquez spun another clunker on Sunday, and he remained suitably upset afterward. "I'm doing my best. Believe me, man. I'm doing my best, but nothing's working, nothing's working. Nothing. Absolutely nothing." That's the first time I've heard a starting pitcher sound so down. Usually, after a player has a rough game, we'll get a comment laced with at least a hint of optimism. Not from Vazquez today. "It's all negative right now for me," he said. "There's no positive right now. I'm going out there, giving the team three, four innings. That's not going to cut it," he said. The Marlins don't sound like they're ready to give up on Vazquez. He will make his next start Friday at Sun Life Stadium against Tampa, manager Edwin Rodriguez said.

No, actually his double dip into the American League East proved to him that he really wasn't so hot. Getting bashed around isn't too good for one's confidence.

Give in to the dark side. Use your anger, it makes you stronger. Given how many no-nos there have been & others that were close, he'll get off the shnide? eventually. The Rays got 2 perfect games pitched against them last year, why not Javy?
