oh, there they are

last night we got a little reminder that this team did limp into the post season. as evidenced by the series versus the padres and the first three games of the nlcs, they are capable of some stunning baseball. as perfectly shown by the play in which edmonds, belliard, and (correct me if i'm wrong) eckstein watched a ball fall that any one of them could have caught. we were an offensive force last night, but we were up against an offensive juggernaught.

it doesn't matter, though. everything so far this series has been a bonus for a team that finished the season only a few games over .500 in a division full of weaklings. it's now a three game series. we stand a chance in a three game series, just as any team would (hell, the royals swept the tigers at the end of the regular season... anything could freakin' happen).

now, if the new driver we hired will shut up today about the met blowout, we can all move on. just a three game series.
