CB: always appreciate what you can contribute. Life has been getting in the way for LOT of us lately. I call it, having a life.

Still in it in May? I could get used to this! Bobby Baseball could definitely bring home the hardware BUT, if Salvy keeps this up…. May have to drop a hundo on whatever those odds are.

Thanks, Coach. We all knew Bobby could carry this club, but what Sal is doing up to this point is amazing.

Getting VERY concerned about lack of offense of basically anybody below Salvy in the order. Velazquez needs to go. Don't particularly care where. Don't see much help in Omaha other than MAYBE Watters. What happened to Nicky Pratto?

Pratto isn’t off to a great start and, more importantly, there really isn’t room for him the way this roster is constructed. He’s played a bit of left field for Omaha, but is still mostly at first for them. But I agree…they’re going to need someone in the lower half come through. We saw that on Wednesday with Massey. Good things happen when the 5-9 guys actually contribute.

I missed these last two games. Amazing what spending a little money on competent starting pitching can do for a team.

The pitching has absolutely carried this team. They’re the only club not to allow 100 runs so far this season. That’s the reason for their run differential.

I am having difficulty processing my emotions. This time of year I am usually experiencing anger, disappointment, despair and just generally feeling ticked off. But this spring is different. I am feeling happy, joyful and enjoying life. But most of all I have one very new feeling. Hope! Do you think I need therapy?

Therapy? Hell, I’d bottle it and sell it at the concession stands at The K.
