every year we bitch and moan and every year we get to have meaningful game right up until the end. Are we 3 game sout of 1st or 30? Have we played well? No. Have we played decently? No. Have we had anything good happen? Yes. The starting pitching has been very good and there are a few (not many) bright spots in the line-up in Scott, Lane and Lee. Berkman will not hit 150 all season with 1 homer and I think things should improve.
We have a good two weeks here and we all forget this awful start. Lidge is out as well which should make everyone happy. Expect a trade I would think since he is a pricey guy to have pitching the 6th and 7th inning. Losing Lidge for me is depressing... I really liked the guy but if we can get something for him I suppose that is okay. Maybe like David Carr he just needs a change of scenery and I for one hope he finds what he needs ot be a big time success again. He may find that here after a few months of mop up and 6th inning work, who knows but it don't look good. (oh and before everyone says no one would want Lidge... he has amazing stuff and there are pitching coaches out there who think he can be fixed... just remember Hidalgo for whom we got Dan Wheeler)
