#132@Kevin: Have you ever heard of these NL third basemen ? Chipper Jones (Braves), David Wright (Mets), Aramis Ramirez (Cubs). Take a look at their numbers. You can include April if you wish.

#130@parlo: In May of this season, he hit .289/.331/.491.

May 2007: .303/.375/.576
June 2007: .247/.295/.411
July 2007: .275/.314/.475
August 2007: .292/.333/.472
September 2007: .380/.441/.590

The point is that April of this year and last are the only ones that have been horrid. The other ones add up to All-Star numbers.

I, too, hope this doesn’t make you a crazy, reactionary fan.

#125@Geoff Young:
Yep. They need to keep losing and we need to turn it around a little more.

Chris Young quote from today’s UT, â€œI don’t think it would be the first time that a team had a bad April and May and still made the playoffs,â€ he said. â€œI don’t think there is any reason for us to lower our expectations.â€

With Peavy and Young coming back someday and if hitters start hitting we could be back in this. I never thought that was a possibility but LA and AZ have cooled. Banks has been an awesome surprise.

#75@Kevin: For Kouzmanoffs stats to be All Star caliber, you would have to remove more than just Aprils numbers.
June: 244/310/400, July:275/314/475
I hope that doesnt make me a “crazy reactionary fan” who is “ignoring facts”.

#124@Richard Wade: You know, Blum was an all-star caliber hitter on Sunday games started by pitchers with a W in their name, the temp between 76 and 78, on artificial turf, and the sea at high tide. Just Say'n.

#126@Richard Wade: I'll answer for him: Superb ability to get on base negated by superb ability to strand runners, could have easily lost a fantastic start from said 10th starter, lost our starting 2B for what could be quite a while.

#123@Turbine Dude: What's frustrating about winning a game your 10th starter started?

#122@Turbine Dude: None taken. We need Arizona and LA to keep losing if we're going to scrap our way back into this thing.

#119@Oside Jon: McAnulty has been an above league average hitter before you take into account park and after you take into account position this year. He's a bad example of "crappy player that can have a good week"
