Hey, we won one! I missed most of it of course. I was listening on the radio in the car up until the rain delay, and then I turned it off. I didn't tune back in until the sixth inning when Wolfie almost blew the 8-2 lead. Poor Ryan Madson's right arm is going to fall off and enter the Overuse Protection Program pretty soon. You can't really blame Charlie. Mad Dog is the only guy out there with a semblance of effectiveness other than Wags. It was nice to see J-Roll have a good night. He's been killing us in the leadoff spot with his OBP hovering around .300. Thome also got off the interstate with three hits. Thanks to Al Leiter for showing up for work last night. I think his broadcasting career may start sooner rather than later.
I've decided this is Day 2 of the "Do Something, Ed!" Watch. I'm not even counting Marlon Byrd for Endy Chavez, unless Chavez develops a nasty breaking pitch. The options are there, Eddy boy. Ryan Howard is option number one. You obviously aren't going to play him, so it's imperative that you turn him into a middle reliever or setup guy who can eat innings and keep Madson away from the Andrews Clinic. Get cracking!
On to Chipper-ville after a day off. Oh brother, Padilla vs. Smoltz. I'll have to plan to miss that one.
