2 out of 3 baby! I think yesterday's game will go down as a turning point in the season. :D

I hope but I don't know...I think we will have to see how they come out hitting in this series....they still lost 2 of 3 to Philly.

I mean that 8th inning was unreal...but I don't know if 1 inning is enough to turn it around....let's hope!

The future is bright though!

I'm really pumped for this series. That last series against Philly really got my juices flowing.
Even though we're sub .500 the atmosphere just somehow feels like it's been kicked up a notch.
I really hope we can win this series!

I thought Farrell had learned about keeping Rajai Davis and his SB attempts away from Bautista. I guess not.

Man, as much as Davis sucks with the bat he's so fun to watch once he gets on.

Liking Snider's new swing and drunken stand up double!

Hill's solo jack over the monster ain't bad, either...

Snider is going to erupt in the 2nd half.

This lineup is so much better when both Patterson and Davis aren't in it.

Morrow looks like he's on today.
Of course, now I've jinxed it.

Nice snap throw to first!
Bam!

Right... I meant to say when only one or the other is playing, not both. A good lineup can't have two mediocre outfield bats in it.

10 game hit steak.

Thames: I dare you to take me out of the lineup.
