Still early, but my man looks lost - again. But, a 4 for 4 day and he passes Blake. I see Blake not going past .250 this year, so, LaRoche should be able to do that.

Kershaw and Bills have faced the Padres & Giants. Not exactly big hitters...but they are on the schedule and we should dominate them. I think they are both poised to have breakout seasons. But I think Lawdog is jumping the gun here saying they are the best young 1,2 tandem. I would still say Lincecum and Cain are pretty damn good and young. They just dont get runs! Our guys may indeed be better but let them finish a season off together and we will see what they have. I hope Lawdog is right!!! Manny looks like he is still trying to find it, but what makes him great is (for example) his last AB last night. He was trying to hit a walk off shot & didn't get it. So after he falls to an 0-2 count he shortens up his swing and just puts the ball in play. With his natural power a easy swing puts it in the gap allowing O-Dog to go 1st to 3rd. That is SMART baseball. His power will come but clutch smart performances mean more than HRs!! Kuo looked horrible last night. No sugar coating it. Our bullpen scares me. Good point BRuss!

If they blow thur the Met's and Philly's lineup like they did the Giants, I'm fully on board. What I liked about last night's game is that everyone is contributing in the win and it's not just Manny carrying the team on his back. In fact, Manny hasn't gotten the rust off his stick yet. His hit in the ninth was clutch but wait for his bat to fully kick in. Loney was the player of the game and didn't even have a hit. Kershaw was lights out but I still want to see a tougher challenge for him this year. Colorado may be a better team to gauge us by. O Dog is still looking like the best pickup of the winter. We will have to track the 17th pick of the draft to see if that player comes close to O-Dogs ability. O-Dog's type doesn't grow on trees. Casey Blake hit another bomb last night and Andy, well Andy didn't play did he? Badger, I hear the fat lady warming up in the pen. :mrgreen: Guy’s I love our young pitching also but remember it’s the Giants hitters they’re facing and not the Philly’s or the Met’s.

By golly, the filter is now working this is the 4 th time today I tried to post this short blurb on our new Dynamic Duo. Maybe breaking it up had something to do with it? each! on one hit for Kurveshaw, Bills gave up 5.
