Slow start hampers Spurs

The Spurs know they will be in a fight to make a playoff run this year and going just 17-14 at home during BK-1 didn't help any. "It's like digging a hole and the more you dig the more dirt falls back in the hole making it harder and harder to get the dirt out", stated skipper Red Robbins. When asked at the daily press conference, "What does that have to do with your BK-1 record"? "Nothin', I just like that saying", the skipper said. Travis Hafner is picking up where he left off last year hitting .318 with 9 dingers and 30 ribbies. The good news is DFW has a team batting average of .290, the bad news is the team era is 4.88 and they have been out homere 43-37.
