Thanks Bruce! Not a bad lineup, overall.

With the way this team has been hitting, I think pitching would be the way to go in a trade. Outside of Marmol and Wood, the bullpen is a little bit too streaky for my tastes. Moreover, while Zambrano has done an excellent job thus far this season, Dempster, Lilly, Hill, and Marquis have us all holding our collective breath. If Hill and Lilly can get back on track and Dempster can maintain his success, then we'll be fine. As for Marquis...well, yeah. Maybe Joe Blanton?

Don't suck, Ted.

I blinked and I missed the bottom half of the 9th. Go figure. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

It's only April...but man, I really love this team.

Well, this was an unexpected 8th inning. Good! :D

I get the feeling Cedeno will surprise people this season.

Gameday has Soto with four swinging strikes in a row. That's a new one on me.

Racist. I will not go for the cheap laugh...I will not go for the cheap laugh...

Ball 1 and Strike 2 were pretty much the same pitch. Nicely done, Angel.

Just for Men results in unusual shininess.

He's over 100 pitches and it's only April. Don't wear him down, imo.

It's a purely subjective call that varies wildly from umpire to umpire. It needs a bright line revision, imo.

I'm surprised they haven't shown the Victor Diaz game yet. How much blame did Dusty get? I'm guessing none.

Fukudome likes it when opposing pitchers need Tommy John Surgery.

I'd like to thank Carlos Beltran for his timely slumping.

I hate Luis Castillo.

I hate Endy Chavez.

I like walks and chasing the pitcher early. Keep up the fun, Derrek!

Bada-boom!

Von Joshua? No. Dave Keller. Von Joshua is the hitting coach at Iowa. Thanks!
