It also deserves mention in passing how ridiculously bad our lineup is against lefties:

Bench players hitting 1,5,6,7...and all of them are likely to be in the .620-.720 OPS range as righties. Sadly, Wilson is hardly an upgrade either at this point...although Molina would be(!) if Reyes wasn't pitching.

Yikes.

Getting every minute of the playing time he's earned.
The best contact hes made all season is when he slammed his bat into the ground a few games ago.

Hah! Those were pretty much my exactly thoughts when I watched him do it!

I know it's early but if we go 7.5 games down winning the division is going to be real tough.

Well...so far Jim the early returns on Reyes are positive.

Why are the Brewers making it so easy on Reyes?

Did they have 2 or was it 3 bunt attempts so far?

Also, I believe with Pujols' hit in the first that's an 11 game hit streak for him, am I right?

That would certainly allow us to market ourselves to Clemens as this year's Astros...since the Astros are neck and neck with us at the bottom of the heap.

The last two games were too easy, I think Yost gave them a challenge, see if you can win without swinging the bat.

And I was wrong. It was the last out, they checked him out, and now he's back out there.

Not surprising. How hot can a "hot shot" from Miles be?

Probably like having a croquet shot run up on you.
