Saturday: 3-5, -4.9 units. Getting nickel and dimed, or worse, this week. Nevertheless, I feel that I haven't really made too many bonehead plays. Many of them are barely losing- though barely losing is still losing. Two 3 run homers in the first by Cleveland and Seattle kind of made it tough to come back from. Earl Weaver was right, good pitching and 3 run homers are about all you need to win.
Colorado. ML. 3 units. Man, did the Rockies get the best of their trade with the Cubs. Stewart is on the DL, while both players the Rockies got are contributing. Chacin looked like he is ready to be the only quality starter the Rockies have in his last start back from the DL. Great slider and good control. The Rockies BP has also surprised us in that they have been able to hold leads. The Rockies have a pretty good hitting attack 1-8, with many power sources. The Cubs seem to wait for Soriano to hit a HR or they aren't likely to score. The Cubs are also trying out a few young players who so far haven't hit very well. Volstad has been avoiding the early knockout, though he has only been mediocre so far in his 4 starts back from the minors. The Rockies are playing their best baseball in a while the Cubs are possibly playing out the string. Two losing clubs- sometimes the road team plays looser.
