According to what I have heard only the 97 team started 8-1 and it stands as our best start ever, that's just what I have heard though, don't remember how we started in '04.

 

Edit: actually you are correct.

good lord that is impressive... can't believe i didn't remember those numbers

I will be in the stands tomorrow cheering the fish on for their franchise record start.

THIS IS SO GREAT!!!!!

And with the next 2 series being against Washington and Pittsburgh we have a fantastic chance of improving to 12-3 or 13-2

No jinx, please. :whistle

I certainly hope you're right, though.

If I had any money I'd drive up to DC for a game or two this weekend... oh well, maybe later in the season.

Lets do this!

hey darren im gonna be there too... GO FISH!!!!

You two have fun.

 

Something to keep you busy between innings....... See if you can pick up on Bo's ritual.

 

Something a little tougher..... See if you can catch Andy timing the National Anthem. Sometimes he's a little slick about that.

I def will!!!

wow...13 in the first 9 is impressive...I was about to comment about us being tied for the league low 28 earned runs against thus far, but 13 just destroys that number...

Really impressed... you can tell this is a team where any one player in the lineup can step up and win a game at any time. I love the way the pen has really settled in to their roles the last few games. Would love to see them go in to washington and pound them like they should.
