thank god for errors... if you can't hope for good play, at least hope for the other guy's mistakes. last night was ugly, but i was hanging on shannon and rooney's every word. i've never been so happy to hear about a bad throw, even if it allowed the game winning run to cross the plate, as i was about this one.
the bullpen still needs some help.
the starters still need some help.
this win is like the first food a man starving for eight days gets to eat. even after he has consumed it, he is still technically starving, though he damned sure feels better.
where did albert leave his bat? ok, that really isn't fair, as he did just come back from an injury, and if the production he's had since the injury had come from say, yadier, we'd be thrilled. however, i worry that perhaps he is trying to push too soon and playing at less than 100%. i'd rather have a 100% el hombre in september/october than a 85% el hombre for the remainder of the year. true, since he's the best player in the game, at 85%, he's still amazing, but it's more like jeff francoeur amazing. we won't be hanging our championship hats on a jeff francoeur type player. on the other hand, if we can kick the pitching in the ass to get things back to normal, we can ride the (100%) pujols gravy train to at least a pennant.
but damnit, i'll not be satisfied by a pennant. this season was supposed to be our world series winner. if they don't spend, we don't win. i don't advocate throwing money at a problem, but with walt jocketty, that wouldn't be the case anyway.
