Who are These Guys?!?

Has the whole world turned upside down? Last night, Ronny Cedeno is taking pitches and hitting RBI singles, and today, he hit a clutch grand slam and got a curtain a curtain call! You got Felix Pie shortening his swing and hitting 3 run jacks. You got a 6.5 million dollar outfielder leading the bigs in pitches / plate appearance with an awesome OBP. You got Derrek Lee among the league leaders in OPS, and you got Aramis Ramirez on pace for 105 walks. A-Ram has a career high of 50 walks! Not to mention the favorable starts by Reed Johnson, Geovany Soto, and Ryan Dempster. How long can it last?!? Let the good times roll!!!

The Sky is Falling

I know it's silly to get worried this early, but I heard a stat on the radio from this guy. If your team loses 7 of the first 10 games, they only have a 20% chance of finishing above .500. If your team wins 7 of the first 10, there's an 80% chance they'll be above .500. We've already lost 2! I do take solace in the fact we might not have to be .500 to win the division, but I'd sure like to see a few runs.
