Any decent OF would've caught those. I love Raul but he's one of the worst defenders in baseball. He's a DH. He needs to accept that.

Can we really keep up this pace? I think our best hope is the consistent offensive performance of our infield of LaHair, Valbuena, Hullett, and Cairo. And a steady diet of Miguel Batista relief appearances. "If [this] is inevitable, lay back and enjoy it." (Clayton Williams, fmr. governor of Texas).

Morrow threw 113 pitches today and did pretty well after starting for only a short time. I'm impressed.

Hernandez/Morrow/Strasburg will be one of the best young starting trios in the history of baseball. We need a couple National wins, but we’re looking really strong here.
