    Our pitching has been great for much of the season. For August, though, it's been mediocre. #7 in the NL in ERA.

    By the way, some guy called Booch, on espn radio, said Clemens passed both his steroid/drug tests. Not sure if anyone reported that yet.

    Roy hasn't been himself. His ERA shot up after his last three starts.

    In other news, this weekend SUCKED.

    Did anyone see the "history of baseball" coverage of the Clemens game? It was the LA feed....very cool.

    I could see how many would think it was cool, but it really got annoying to me. I wish it didn't take them 8 innings to get back to "Todays View"

    But maybe I was just irritated because of the way the Astros were hitting.

    This Karma. The baseball gods are angry at us for batting Burke in the 3-hole.

    In order to appease the gods, Garner will have to put Burke for a stretch of 7 games in the #3 batting order.

    Anyway it is better to have this slump now rather in August. I expect our lads to get their 5th wind starting this week and close this out strong especially with Bags and Backe coming back in about 1o days. We especially need Backe's bat now..... ;)


    PS. I wish Purp would push the panick buttorn and go get Huff or Junior within the next 48 hours by overpaying just a little bit.

    LOL, Lasorda cameout at Wrigley and told their fans they were the SECOND best fans in baseball, sang take me out to the ball game, and got BOOED right off the field. That was freaking hilarious.
