Totally agree about Tyler ... guess Tony was right.

Glad that Jay is back in the line-up. He kicked off the big inning and the team just seems to play better with him in there.

And, what's the deal with Westbrook? He doesn't even seem like the same pitcher that made us cringe every start last year. The wife says he reminds her of Danny Cox ... quite a compliment in my book.

Got the biggest kick out of watching Yadi play 2nd.

Damn, was Yaddi at 2nd? How did I miss that, I saw him at 1st. After the 8th I was barely watching the game, something about being up 11 runs

Guess that 20lbs for Jake is a much bigger deal than he would like to let on. Again tonight he was painting the corners

The box score says 1st. Saw him scoop up a grounder and throw the runner out at 1st ... must have been the pitcher covering? The camera showed him with this big grin on his face after the play ... looked like he was having a great time. Guess he must have been on 1st after they moved Carpenter to 3rd ... had the same attention problem you did at that point ... duh ... me bad.

Oh forgot ... Everybody is talking about the 20 lbs. The TV guys said that he has stopped tipping pitches like he did last year.

But, I wonder?

Saw the stats on the starting rotation when I was poking around for the box score: ERAs ... 0.99, 1.30, 1.33, 2.49 and 7.32 (guess who - but hopefully improving). The AP story on the game says that the startrers' 12 wins are the most in MLB.

Don't think McGwire gets enough credit for what we are seeing at the plate. I wonder if, maybe, Lilliquist deserves some of the credit for what we are seeing on the mound?

Yes, I believe tipping pitches may have a little more to do with it. Loshe had a "rough" outing today, but the bats backed him up. If they could only do the same for Waino the ERA would not be so high, kind of reminds me of a starter last year.
