Somewhat concerned about Mark who has been silent for a few hours. Hope you are just getting some rest. If you feel like the people in Aliens, something going to bust out of you, you should go to ER. I developed an infection after abdonemal surgery but it took a week or so to develope. Let us know how it goes. Just wanted to say that took until June 26th to happen but I think I predicted on the day that MB signed w/cubbies, that him and Lou would roll. Waiting for Miguel to get it going.

So many "little ground balls to the second baseman (or 1st baseman)." So many fly balls to the warning track. Kemp is over.300, but strikes out looking like a rookie having problems. Ethier with that nice swing, but cannot get a hit. Loney swinging late and poping out to left field. Then Hudson smokes a double to the ally, with no outs, and is still there at the third out. Torre changing pitchers with almost ever hitter up there. Then Martin spitting in his hands before every pitch to him -- and taking the ball right down the middle of the plate, then hitting a line drive to the third baseman; Or, hitting into a double play. I could go on . . . now almost at the half-way point in this season, I do not feel the growing younger players are "growing" into better players. Kemp, Loney, Ethier, Martin, C-Bills, etc. Maybe the league is catching up to them. Maybe the pitching coaches have screw them up.

The vote has to be heavily against a 3 run homer being bland. I got a feeling Mark is doing this one on purpose. He just can't be that dense. Yeah, Roger is right.
