are giants stronger than pirates?

in the end, it doesn't matter, as they both seem to be able to outplay the cardinals. rabid thoughts

albert seems to be seeing the ball a little better, which is promising. if anyone else on the team can manage to get it going (hello, scott and jimmy), we may be able to go from having a horrendous offense to a merely a limp offense. lots of bloggers have noted that he seems to be pulling everything these days, which is a bothersome habit, but probably just a habit, so here's hoping he can break out of it.

mr edmonds, this town (mostly) loves you. please justify this with your bat (we know how great a defender you still are). a scant three years ago, you had grounded into the fewest double plays of any major leaguer (4), a number you have already matched in april of 07. 4 is an absurdly low number for a season, but it's high for a hitter of your calibur in less than one month.

i want birds to eat some bear this weekend. i want to not have to hang my head in shame when a cub fan walks by. i want an outfielder who can hit now and again.
