Gumption

Credit where credit is due: Wedge sent the runners with one out and Victor at the plate. Granted, we scored plenty of extra runs on top of that, but for all the grief Wedge gets it's only fair to give him credit when he makes a good call, too.

Tonight was a good indication of why I like C.C.: He doesn't stop. And he adjusts. Signs of a great pitcher -- signs of an ace.

Also impressive, as always, was our offense. Man, we just GRIND people down. Here's a fun fact: Jim Thome leads the AL in walks. Travis Hafner is tied at third with Gary Sheffield. This all makes sense. But who's at numer two? Grady Sizemore! That amazing, really, and an indication of who we make pitchers work. Our lead off guy is getting walked...and then our #3 guy is getting walked. It's amazing how our hitters battle.

This was a nice way to start the month.
