Unhittable pitching, hitting that can't hit

Cliff Lee going tonight... keep the mojo going, hopefully.

These are pretty good offenses we're shutting down. Reds have the best O in the NL, St. Louis is top 5.

Outscored the opposition 11-2 the last 5 games, 5 of those runs coming in one game.

If I were to tell you in spring training that our projected #5 starter would be 6-2 with a 2.66 ERA through June, what would you say our record would be?

Our pitching has just been insane. Christ. We have to be setting some kind of record right now.

Even though I'm probably still for trading Lee, I'd love to see our rotation with him at the top, followed by Felix/Vargas/Fister/Bedard once it comes together. That'd be awesome.

**** Texas for winning every day though.

Sorry for the redundancy, I just like putting those pretty scores up.

Saunders was awesome last night.

Olney said on SportsCenter today that a lot of teams are aggressively going after Lee, but Seattle has yet to throw in the towel. Tampa lost, so we're 12 back in the WC, but as said above, Texas refuses to lose (AND has 4 games with Pitt/Houston coming up... damnit) so we're still 13 back in the West. I think Seattle is in decent position re: Lee. Either we ask the world for him and someone gives up a sizable chunk of their farm system, or we hold onto him and get two first rounders in the offseason. I'd definitely hold out until teams start getting desperate.
