Well it seems we are headed for a very long summer. Yesterday the team couldn't bounce back after a frustrating loss on Thursday with a very lackluster performance against John Smoltz. Your favorite waif was rocked again and one can only wonder how long the franchise is going to stay with him. The O'Connor experiment is going good (still the first time through the league) so why not give somebody else a shot. I do think that we could see something similar to what the Braves did when Glavine and Smotz broke ie: let them learn at the major league level.
Now tonight they get a an ok start from O'Connor (who is stringing some starts together) with the help of the pen they got it to Cordero with a 2 run lead. Cordero gives up 5 runs and they lose. Now any manager would still take this scenario any time as Cordero will normally put it away. But the guy is growing roots in the pen, they are bringing him at times just so he can pitch. Frustrating to watch this club fumble this way.
Note: Zimmerman had 3 hits and his average is now up to .261. This is good to see as he has been steadily raising his average over the past few weeks.
Note: Teams are starting to knock on the door looking for bargains, among others the Mets are inquiring about Hernandez and Vidro
