...wait, did the Rockies really win the pennant last year, or was that just a horrible nightmare? Matt Herges was there...Yorvit Torrealba was there...and LaTroy Hawkins was there too!
At least they're currently behind the Giants. That probably won't last, but we should enjoy it while it lasts.

I think we sweep
With Cain, Lincecum, and Sanchez pitching, I think we sweep. Maybe I’m too optimistic.
Riddle:
I wear blue and white, I arrive to baseball games in the 4th inning, I leave in the 7th inning, my team's home stadium plays movie trailers between innings, I read magazines during the game, I play with beach balls, and I love the wave.
Who am I?

By the way, I take back my sweep prediction after seeing tonight’s lineup. Too much veteran savvy. Why no Velez?? He’s a switch hitter. Why no Lewis?? As well as he’s playing does Bochy really want to platoon him??

Excuse my ignorance
If Misch was called up after Correia went to the DL and Zito is moving to the pen, isn’t that only four starters? Do we not need a fifth for a while?

Makes sense
he just doesn’t seem to be improving. From what I have seen, he is the same pitcher he was last year. Iffy control, hard to hit, for the most part, lot of potential but not realizing it.
Of course Timmy has a lot less experience and more room to grow.
by positiveuphemism on Apr 28, 2008 8:27 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
I agree
At times I think Cain may have regressed. I do, however, believe his control problems are in part due to the way the offense has messed with his head.
