Well, here we go!

We've been regular readers/sometime posters over at HalosHeaven for a while now and figured it'd be good to get our own spin on events out there!

I won't go into the various details of the season thus far (considering that there's...less than fifty games to go now?), but I will say that the season is far from over and far from secure. I'm still not terribly convinced that Bill Stoneman did the right thing in standing pat at the 31, and I'm afraid that his decision is going to come back to bite us, either in September or in the off-season.
Let me put it this way--the situation with Stoneman and the elusive "power bat," I think, is like the kid who's fallen and hurt himself. He's scraped up pretty badly, and his parents (Stoneman) recognise that he needs some attention. Thing is, they've got a lot of money (prospects) and all the people selling first-aid supplies are demanding a lot of that. So instead of helping the kid out, the parents let his arm fall off. Does that make sense? I.e., there's clearly something wrong here, and Bill's acting like it's not the end of the work if we do jack squat--even though we saw in the ALCS (and the ALDS, to an extent) and then again throughout much of this season (pre-streak) that that doesn't work. Sure, we were on a great hot streak before the deadline, but that doesn't mean we're going to stay that way, as evidenced by our fairly mediocre performance since then. I just hope that we can get another tear going; otherwise it's time for Moreno to give Stoneman his pink slip.

Anyhow, on to tomorrow's (today's?) game! Cleveland's been struggling a bit, but so have we, and Weaver appears to have been struggling a bit in his last two starts (no thanks to the bullpen on one of those). I think he's still got one or five more wins in him before a loss, though, so let's see what he can do! I hope to see Napoli back in the line-up, 'cause quite frankly Molina may be doing better recently, but Nap's .238 average isn't going to improve unless he gets his ABs....
