Tied series so far...

So, its 1 each. I had expected us to be 2-0 on the series at this stage but the game is not about who should win - it is about going out there to do it. i didn't see anything of Thursday's game but i have seen a repeat of Friday's game. We were helped out yesterday by some really dumb base-running from the Giants mixed with some great defense, offense, pitching and Albert. As soon as he walked to the plate i knew he was going to jump all over the first pitch he saw - hes been doing that a lot more often so far this season, and it seems to have been working. He catches pitchers by surprise and that spells touble if you are in the middle of the diamond. I heard Wainwright did ok on Thursday and Lohse has just been awesome so far this season. I am really obtimistic about this team and where we can go this year - the guys just need to stay healthy and take it a game at a time. I was a little unsure of the positioning last night of Schumaker/Barton - i would have had them hitting the other way around - or Schumaker 9th and Barton as lead off. However, as i dont think Ankiel will have too many off days it might not happen all that often,it will be interesting if Ludwick is given the day off and the OF 3 are Ankiel, Barton and Schumaker, just where he wood accomodate for those guys in the lineup. There is no doubt if they stay healthy that Ankiel, Pujols and Glaus are going to be the RBI men this year. All eyes will be on Piniero tomorrow and i will be watching to cover that game - the finale of the series.

Until then...

I think i saw...
