This is our first victory of the year scoring less than 4 runs. Let us rejoice!!!

NOW THIS
is an inspiring, fiery win.
A million people left on base. Santo’s head exploding in the booth. Closer puts two on.
Best team in the NL on the other side.
And they win.
THAT is inspiring.

No, I'm serious
This WAS a great win.
When a team can win even though 39 different things are going wrong, that’s the sign of a cohesive, inspired, professional team.

You really can find something to bitch about no matter what.

Gutsy win!!!
I didn’t think they had much of a chance against Billingsley. Couple key hits, good pitching and (mostly) good D saves the day. I’m liking Andres Blanco on this team.

Doubt it.
Theriot gives you more offense. But I’d like to see him in there giving Theriot a rest regularly and for defensive purposes late in games.

I guess.
Or Lou could try to play matchups or something. The problem with a platoon is Fontenot would get the vast majority of ABs, and I don’t see Lou taking Theriot out of the lineup to that extent.

well
he could platoon 3rd and 2nd with Scales and Blanco? Riot isn’t going to leave SS.

Oh, I know.
I’m not opposed to Lou batting him Fontenot only (or mostly) vs. RHP. But I don’t think Lou would limit Theriot’s ABs by putting him in a platoon.

Not Theriot
More like, Andy White starting at SS, Theriot starting at 2B, Fonty platooning with Scales or Fox at 3B

We have had our problems,
but there are not many teams who could match the dodgers pitching staff pitch for pitch like we have the last two days.
"How's your mother?"
"She's on her way out."
"We all are. Act accordingly."
Great point
Our starting pitching has been very strong, sans one bad start from Dempster in the last 2 weeks.
