I was at the series last year (my sister just moved to Phoenix); it is so weird to see a baseball game indoors. I was also astounded for AZ to be not only humid as hell, but for it to rain all Saturday morning…in the DESERT!

Anyway, hope you bring them better luck this year

However, D Lee’s inside-the-park homer last year was great.

There are three things that have me worried for the second half:

(1) One of the hardest schedules in the NL down the stretch, compared to the Brewers, who have one of the easiest.
(2) The somewhat scuffling bullpen (hopefully Gaudin shores it up a bit, but still, Marmol needs to be consistent or the pen is in trouble)
(3) The possibility that guys who had great first halves will tail off (Theriot, DeRosa, Soto, Fukudome, Dempster)

As long as those three things can be survived/avoided, it’s all good.

That Cubs fx one seems cool. Now if I can only understand it.

I explained this to the rest of the Idiots a couple weeks back. June, July, and Sept would be tough. August is when we have to make a push.

If we can pull off a series win in Milwaukee at the end of the month (I would settle for a split) we would be set up nicely to put some distance between us and the competition in August. Would be nice to have a cushion in Sept.

BTW – Looking forward to the series in AZ. The rest of the Idiots and I will be in attendance and hoping for the first Cubs series win in AZ….since I have been here (2003).

We heartily endorse that Other Fifteen site? I hadn’t even heard of it until yesterday.
