Is soooooooooo refreshing! Heck, I may even buy some tickets to the next home stand! It took awhile but I think I've rid of the bad baseball cooties!

Rehab is like that. It doesn't happen over night. But I am a new man ready to face the world again!

Seriously, this is quite an indictment on Ozzie and that previous coaching staff. RV and the guys deserve mucho credit for providing us with a team that won't make us puke on ourselves every other game.

Jeff Manto made me forget Greg Walker. RV made me forget Oz-blow-hole. Mark Parent made me forget Joey Cora. Don Cooper remains as he should.

Hawk said it last night and it rang so TRUE: "This team simply doesn't beat itself!"

Halle-flippin-leulia!

Wow, do GOOD THINGS happen when you don't beat yourself, and you have the guys you're counting on so heavily step up. Then, when they slow down, 6 guys at the bottom of the lineup crush some rummy with 14 hits and 12 runs.

This is really fun. First three guys get four hits, bottom 6 beat the cra*p out of that clown. That's what MLB power-house offenses do, they crush you from top to bottom.

Not every game, cuz pitchers deserve credit for shutting down good o's, but beating the team/pitcher's you should? This team has been okay about that, so far.

The boys should get a nice welcome home after this trip!

Oh, certainly feel free to give our pitchers (Quintana hung in there) some credit for, at least, keeping that monstrous Yankees offense somewhat at bay.

They are scary pretty much all the time. Three run lead against them is child's play. At 10-7, I was still nervous. Wasn't till it was 14-7 that I relaxed a bit.

Wow. Scary. It's not who you play, it's when you play them. Win the series, thank your lucky stars, then hit the plane and get out before they get their pitching back!

Man, they really took some hits this year with pitching. But they are one of a very few that could wade it out with that offense. Their bullpen is in shambles too.

Don't forget about the change made at 3rd base coach. Seems like this year we're having success in that area, waving runners around when we should, instead of the embarrassing blunders of recent years.

All of the above!!!!

Had a growing sense Guillen was lacking in the leadership/management department ever since 2008.
Marked improvement in the 3rd base coaching too.
