I only saw the first couple innings of this one, and what I saw was ugly. Still only the first time around the rotation though, so Cone's pounding (helped by the D) isn't really a big deal. Arrojo has used his one beating, and so now has Cone. Lets try to pick it up a notch guys, this means you defense, as well.

Johnny V still is showing signs of not being fully recovered as he's seems to be running sort of funny. But if he keeps getting his bat on the ball they way he did in this game, all year, then he can hobble all he wants. In Val's first at bat he was robbed of a hit by center fielder Chad Curtis. Then on his next at bat, he launched a solo job over the left field wall. Keep it up Val, we need you in the line-up.
