Well, it couldn't last forever in Tiger Town. No way to complain about a 6-1 homestand on the heels of a 6-3 West Coast trip. Bring on the Birds. If the Detroiters can't draw some walks against this lot, there's no hope for them.
The Phils are 14-14 thanks to a 5-game win streak. They were 12-16 at this point of the season last year. So everyone in Philly should quit bellyaching about the team getting off to a slow start.
Ryan Howard is hitting .323-6-18 and people love to complain about how Uncle Charlie uses him in the lineup. Maybe, just maybe, Howard has been successful because of Uncle C and not in spite of him? Granted, he's hit well in limited action in the No. 5 slot, but I don't think he needed to be rushed into that spot.
The "weak" NL Central has 5 teams playing over .500 and three of the top four records in the league.
Colorado was the wise guy pick entering the season in the NL West. So far, the Rockies have been respectable. And it's good to see a Rockie (Hawpe) on top of the batting leaders in the NL. Isn't that the way it always should be?
Ty Wigginton has 9 HR and 29 RBI. Who does he think he is? Jim Thome?
There is no one more fun to watch with a game on the line than Big Papi.
Hey, this is just Sparky being Sparky.
