    Looks like Cy Backe again tonight! He's trying to pitch his way onto net year's team. I hope to god he doesn't succeed.

    I'm guessing he retires. He hit the wall HARD this year. Coop's fault for throwing him out there every day in the first 1/2.

    Nice series win...again. Backe has looked better the last 2 starts. I'm not sure what happened to the real Ty Wigginton, but I hope he never comes back.

    Valverde is quietly making a charge at the team record for saves. He's now 9 back of Wagner's 44, set in 2003. It's a long shot, but a possibility none the less.

    I'm glad we won, but we should have swept...

    I feel we can make a run next year IF we get a legit #2 starter.

    Pence going to rebound and hit .290
    Bourn going to improve and hit .280 and draw walks
    BLT still coming back healthy.
    Kaz will be back as well.
    Oswalt will rebound from the the start.
    Still have a good bench.
    Ausmus is gone...finally.
