Wednesday Wishings

Wow, last night was the first game in a while where I KNEW they were gonna blow it somehow, some way, and then DIDN'T!!! I felt like Dodger Stadium was in the Twilight zone for those three hours. A combined one hit over 10 innings, and the amazing part, is that zambrano didn't pitch two of those innings. Amazing for two reasons, one, that the relievers did an outstanding job, again, but two, Dusty actually pulled Z just at the right time.

Random thoughts: Doesn't it look like Carlos always has to Pee when he's pitching. He just makes me anxious. Why was Blanco catching last night? I mean, its not like Barret isn't absolutely crushing the ball, and oh by the way, has caught Z the last two years. Seems like that passed ball was unnecessary is all I'm saying. Does a SS have to be the opening day starter to be considered for A. the All star game, and B. a gold glove. Name me a short stop in the NL doing a better job than Neifi right now. You just cannot do it. If D-Lee stays even in the top 5 in the triple crown cats, and the cubs stay close, he has got to get the MVP.

So today we'll see what this K guy can do. Luckily, he's breaking in with a slumping dodgers team, but I'm still convinced that they have to make a move for another starter. I would say put Dempster back as a starter, but he seems to like closing and these rookies in the Pen are finally starting to get some confidence which is awesome. By the way, when do we get to see JoBo again?

So, here's to wishing for the first sweep AND 6 game win streak of the year.
