Of course they have been donging a lot. That's my point, they are making up for their deficeincies in other areas by being on pace to hit the 4th most team HR's in Cardinal history. From essentially the same team from last year that ranked 24th in runs scored to 4th this year. You should read Jason Stark's article. So because they're better in one area, but worse in others, that's "pixie dust?" It's literally just a bunch of guys hitting home runs; teams having power surges vs. what they hit the previous season isn't unusual. I mean, they're actually UNDER-performing based on their pythag, but we're supposed to think they're freakishly lucky? They're a bunch of dumb slugging mooks who aren't really very good at much anything else. Not worried about them at all. Worried about them how? They're obviously not gonna catch us, but losing to them would be easily the worst of losing to any of the other playoff teams.
