Victory....but not before the pen tried to make it interesting again. Can we just get rid of malholm already? Maybe trade him to the marlins for something since they are desperate. I mean they signed brad fucking penny the other day. He's gotta be an upgrade over that schmuck shouldn't he?
Gotta give DBB credit for throwing Kenley out there after his meltdown (well, you don't have to if you don't want to). But it was a gamble, Kenley is a talented guy, but not as nails as we would like, and the best we've got. I liked the call for him from Donnie, and it was a gamble that paid off. I still think we have to get way more solid in the back end of the BP if we are to make a serious run. Initially, I kinda thought we could use Wilson and Perez or League as our closer, but that sure went up in smoke. Wilson/League are Jekyl & Hydes, and Perez sucks hard. Anyway, Dee is, besides the SP, the most important guy on the team who is an everyday starter, IMO. This guy just makes it happen. His play at 2B, his speed, and 22 RBIs (pretty damn good for a leadoff hitter), is just holding it together for us. Hanley warming, and Turner has been a great sub for Uribe. I absolutely think that Puig has to learn how to slide, instead of running at top speed, then slamming his 235 ib. body on his ass like he fell off a chair into the ground; that hip will not get better if he keeps that shit up. It could turn into sonething ugly, and he's not going to be 22 forever. Bad timing with the L/Wwith the SFags L/W, but all we can do is win anyway. Oh, and beat them head to head. And get rid of Maholm, who is even worse than normal, due to sporadic use. It's nice to have multiple LH out there, but not one that comes in and puts men on all over the damn place immediately. We do have a kid down in the minors who is every bit as good as Maholm. I guess they forgot about him.
