Countering the groundhog

Lots of news to like at this point.

1/2 game up on the Philthies. At this juncture, till the Fish show me their lineup has staying power, Philly's the only team in the division I'm looking at in the standings.

Bullpen ranks 1st in NL ERA. Parnell, Putz, and K-Rod look outstanding. Feliciano, when used properly against left handers situationally, has been effective.

The heart of the lineup is on fire. Wright, Delgado and Beltran are off to scorching hot starts (.314, .343, .333 BAs going into tonight).

Church looks recovered from scrambled egg brain syndrome, off to a .400 start. Meanwhile, Lastings Milledge has been demoted to the minors.

Wouldja look at that? Luis Castillo is hitting .385.

The Gangsta hasn't done or said anything completely stupid thus far.

CitiField is awesome. Everytime I see Delgado hit one to the wall (or over it), my heart is gladdened by the sight of green seats and black and orange on the wall. Mel Ott, Christy Matthewson, Bobby Thompson, and our namesake Say Hey Kid is smiling somewhere.
