    Who gets the credit for the pitching?

    It really is starting to be hard to downplay the pitching. After 26 games we have given up the fewest runs in the AL. That would be a pleasant surprise in and of itself, but how we have done it is even more of a shock. We have played half of our games against 4 out of the 5 most productive offenses thus far this season. When you take into account these offenses have had their numbers suppressed by the fact they have played us in a good amount of their games I think it is fair to say we are shutting down teams that are smoking other pitching staffs.

    It is starting to be hard not to get a little excited. I know we have all been burned before but maybe things are really going to turn around for us.

    Sometimes you really have to wonder if a higher power is influencing things.
    In the Yankees case, Satan.

    .
    I give Mark Connor credit for stepping down, allowing Adair to pick up where Kranitz left off.

    I'm glad to see the Cavalry pitching well so far. That part of AM's plan was always sound, and exciting.

    It's a loooonng seasons, and the summers are humid in BMore.
