Good swings by everybody so far.

haha I just saw the replay of D-Lee's HR. The look on Bud Black's face is priceless.

But he doesn't have power anymore. He's too old!

It's going to take a little more than 3 hits and one run off a AAA pitcher to make me feel any better.

Riot looks taller with knock socks.

It's not the hits, it's the swings. They've had much better swings the last 3 days. If that keeps up, the hits are going to come. Bradley hit the ball better than anybody but Lee in this game and he didn't get a hit. He hit the ball better than anybody in game 3 at St. Louis and he went 0-4. That's how it's going right now and it will change.

[Butcher]

I hope Wells can keep the shutout going.

That's an empty cliche.

Which result over a few games bodes better for long-term success? Good swings that are right at defenders or bloop hits?
