Mojo where?

Where, oh where has the Mo-Jo gone?
Where, oh where can it be?
Where, oh where has the Mo-Jo gone?
Somebody tell me please!

Yes, this is definitely more than just a slump.  And no, I don't buy that this 'how the team truly performs'.  For the 2.25 seasons (or so) prior to the bottom dropping out in June the offense has produced.  I am thinking that this has to potentially be - and someone who's better at stats run this for me - a historic drop-off in production.  We finally are getting the pitching we'd always dreamed of and now we get this.  

So here's a poll - feel free to leave any ideas on how to break this clusterfrack of an offense out of it's slumber.  Get creative.  I'm seriously considering calling my local priest to bust out the Holy Water.

Blame it on RBI Baseball. Any game that lets Barfield put up those type of numbers? C'mon!

Re: Mojo where?
I've hired a witch to cast a spell on the opposing team's pitchers to help us get out of this funk.

Re: Mojo where?
Hey didn't our woes start about the time she showed up behind homeplate in Minny???!!?
Back to being in 1st place in only one LGT Fantasy League. I have faith that'll soon regress back to the norm.

Re: Mojo where?

Damn, I need to start hosting my own images before I link them. It was supposed to be a pic of a  MOJO snack bar.

Re: Mojo where?
I think we have a league avg. offense. and.....the stats back it up...so lets just all plan on producing 4+ runs a game here on out and banking on our pitching to help make the playoffs (if we do make the playoffs). Enjoy the frustration!

Re: Mojo where?
In all seriousness, I'd have Droobs batting second right now. Three true outcomes be damned...I just want somebody who can put the friggin' bat on the ball.

Re: Mojo where?
Obviously no consensus; I guess that's why Shapiro has not been able to fix it; he doesn't know what the problem is or he is getting ready to go after Wickman.

Re: Mojo where?
It's all really pretty simple:  Hafner and Vic hit, we score runs, they don't and the Tribe loses 2 - 1.
LeBron must GO!

Re: Mojo where?
Somehow, I feel uncomfortable if prayer is the only hope of Shapiro and Wedge, let alone the fans.

Re: Mojo where?
I'm not comfortable either, but this late in the season, what you see is what you get.  (and you pray that it gets better!)

A change in batting order?  Laffey or Lee for a spot start?  Pinch hit Trot, or let Gutz hack away?  How do we use Barfield, if at all?  How do we distribute innings among are bullpen?
99% of the major stuff is in play already; What more can we accomplish, besides getting really lucky?

Re: Mojo where?
I may have mentioned something similar to this in a game thread the other night: If Hafner is putting up the numbers we expect of him this year, we might be up 6 or 7 games.

Re: Mojo where?
Probably more.
I heard that L.Carr is only going to dress 25 players this Sat........the rest can dress themselves!

Re: Mojo where?
So it's not really Blake that's the problem - he's performing at about the level what everyone expected.  It's Hafner, he's fallen and can't get up - that's the weak link in the line-up.
LeBron must GO!

Re: Mojo where?
That's a good way of looking at it.

Re: Mojo where?
Shades of old mojo, Sandy Alomar threw out Dodger baserunners in the 1st AND 2nd inning today.
