    At the beginning of the season, I just wanted them to be competitve. I was hopeful that if things broke righrt for us that we could compete for a wild card. I did not think think there was a chance to win the division. I know expect them to be right in the hunt for the wild card spots right until the end and I am hopeful for a division title, but I will not suck myself into expecting that. If the starters remain healthy throughout the season making 30+ starts each, we have a great chance. I do not expect this, because it hasn't happened since 2004. My biggest fear is if we lose a pitcher or 2 for a prolonged period. I have some confidence that Aceves could be ML average as a starter, but I don't see any reliable depth after him. The other teams (Yanks, O's and Tampa) have had a bumpy ride thus far. The Rays scare me if they can get the back end of the rotation in order. Yes, my expectations are up. Baseball is fun again.

    Bailey was good tonight. He started getting guys out before I vomited. I was only gagging after the single.

    And tall

    Middlebrooks is still struggling. .197

    and...

    Nava has been unbelievable, and Napoli continues to lead the league in pitches per AB.

    RemDawg please get well. I can't take this bore.

    Middlebrooks will blast through the Mendoza line tonight.

    Farrell on Lester: Farrell seems a little baffled.
  11. a700hitter
    So, he doesn't really love us? I'm crushed.
  12. a700hitter
    I didn't attack anyone personally. As I said, it's not always about you.
  13. a700hitter
    It's not all about you. Get over yourself. But since you brought it up, bitching about the players, managers and umps can be an annoying bore. Complaining incessantly and repeatedly about other posters is just something that catty bitches do. It's like listening to a conversation with teenage girls. just sayin.
  14. a700hitter
    It's kinda weird that he loves us without meeting us or knowing us. Don't ya think?
  15. a700hitter
    More bitchin and moaning about nothing.

    The Nats have fallen on hard times. Their pitching was the envy of baseball last season. This week Ohlenforf will be makling a start for them.

    So, he is not fixed. The mechanical fixes gave him better command, but the movement did not return. I agree that is a bad sign. Without that movement on his pitches, he will have a hard time returning to his old form. I still believe that better pacing will help him to command the stuff that he has and improve his performance. Last night, he had a snails pace with the dimished stuff and it was a train wreck like last year. Yesterday's start was reminiscent of Bard's last couple of starts before his career unraveled. Very concerning. I hope Farrell and Nieves were up all night looking at video, because this guy needs help.

    A's are spanking CC. 5-0 A's
  19. a700hitter
    They say that arm problems can manifest themselves initially as command problems. He either has a physical issue or a mental issue, but he is seriously screwed up.

    I don't think that Lester will be able to just shake this game off as a bad night. I am really concerned about him.
  21. a700hitter
    It did look like a blanket compliment.
  22. a700hitter
    This game made me look forward to Tebow's rushes into the line for 1 yard losses.
  23. a700hitter
    I fear that this will not simply be a bad game for Lester. He unraveled before our eyes. There is something terribly off with his game.
  24. a700hitter
    7 walks is an implosion.
  25. a700hitter
    He will not make it through the 5th inning. We will need 4 innings from the pen. They are already gassed.
