It was nice to win one late rather than blow a late lead. With all the bullpen troubles, it's amazing we are 4 games over .500.
The offense has been better than expected. I'm not just talking about Berkman. Rasmus seems to be finally living up to expectations ... hope it lasts. The guy that has surprised me the most at the plate is Theriot at .319. Even light hitting Punto gets a game winning triple. Go figure?
Carp pitched a good game after he settled down. Too bad he can't seem to get a win. "Gutsy" move to bring in Miller to get the last out ... the poor guy hadn't retired a batter in five games.
Gotta mention my guy Sanchez ... 17 strikeouts and only 2 walks in 10 innings ... held them scorless and got his first major league win.
