I think I'm going to the game again tomorrow night. That will be 4 of the 11 homegames I will have attended. So far, our record is 2-1 with me there. We were there on Friday when I heard people stood in line for a couple hours. Rediculous.
It seems like the middle of our lineup is starting to come around, especially Teahen and Sweeney. We just need Gordon and Shealy to step it up now. And how about De La Rosa yesterday? He was a stud. I guess right now he's not on the list to be replaced once we get Elarton or Hudson back. And hopefully the bullpen will be better now that Bannister is starting and we have Duckworth for long relief. Wellemeyer, Peralta, and Standridge have been brutal.
We definitely have something going with Soria at the back of the pen though. I would consider keeping him at closer even when Dotel gets back if he looks like this all the time. At worst, he's the 7th and 8th inning guy. If Dotel comes back strong, this year will feel a lot different if we can keep most of the leads we get before the 7th. You'd think that would make a starter feel confident knowing he had a couple automatics coming out after him.
When are we going to trade an outfielder? Reggie Sanders is at his high point right now, you'd think we could get SOMETHING for him. Can we package him and Emil Brown for some minor league pitching prospects? We don't need either one of them with the outfield of Teahen, Dejesus, and Gload. And Gathright could come up, or Costa, or Maier, and Butler will be giving it a go out there next year anyway. THERE'S JUST TOO MANY GUYS!!!
3 out of 4 wins ain't too bad, I hope we can keep it up against the Sox this week. KEEP IT UP, MECHE!!!
