chacon...he has pitched well the past few starts...doesnt appear like the pitching is the issue right now....other than the relief the starters are fine..

Starters are not right, i don't like the K/W ratios on Backe and Chacon and I don't believe Sampson should be starting for us, plus, Wandy is injured.

Valverde got through an inning tonight with no homerun, and not even a run scored. No wonder he was ecstatic afterwords.

Going 1 full inning without allowing a run is reason to celebrate given his recent efforts.

Hembo, my point is that with those numbers they are OVERACHIEVING, meaning, they could start to suck.
Now, if they end the year this way, we should win our division because the hitting is going to improve.

i do agree with you on the hitting part...the hitting is just as good as anybody in baseball..Yes, including the yankees and BoSox..1 or 2 guys hitting 30 hr's and driving in 100 is good but try 4...i think berkman and lee are a given at 30/100 ,but pence and tejada will be close..pence is too good to be this bad..i also think wiggy and towles will hit 20+...thats a lot of hr's

yes, and matsui and bourn should have at least .340 OBP with a lot of steals.
We don't have a weak spot in our lineup.
Now, pitching needs to CONTINUE the way they are (starters) and bullpen improve.

Chris Sampson had a good start tonight. I don't want to say the obvious but he has had more good starts than bad. He seems to have little room for error in his mechanics. I hope he keeps going. We desperately need him right now.
