Right now I think the only thing that needs to be worked on is cashing in with runners on. Let JP and Luis start stealing, neither of them have tried yet and also where are all the bunts from last year. Overall if our starting pitching can keep this up all year then we will be just fine.

in the Albq game, Pierre bunted his first 2 times up - or I should say he tried to bunt. Didn't look to comfortable but what do I know, I was in the beer line.

Some notes I saw at the stadium:

 

- Penny pitched very well, yes he gave up the two jacks but he was pitching most of the night with no one on base

- Choi played very well defensively, two stretches that ended innings, one stretch and one pick to bail Mikey out, and a couple nice plays going to get grounders.

- Also on Choi, he is becoming the only guy I want up with men on right now

- Cabrera SMOKED the ball

- Gonzalez is seeing the ball well, just hitting it at people. He's going to catch fire soon

- Castro absolutely murdered another pitch today, but it went foul. He needs to get his timing right

- Phelps and Bump did a nice job out of the pen tonight, Phelps especially. He got Expos to swing at bad pitches early in counts

- The order in general is swinging early in the count. Even my boy Juanpy has decided to start swinging early, that is very unlike him. Choi is the only one right now taking it to 2-2 and 3-2 counts consistently, and we are seeing the results with him. I hope it is just jitters and they calm down soon.

- Stop pinch hitting Cordero. Please. Lenny should have been out there in the ninth yesterday.
