It's 5-0 as we head to the bottom of the 7th. I'm going to avoid talking about the game so as not to jinx us.
Oh, and we're out of the 7th. And C.C.'s thrown 94 pages, which makes me think he'll be out again in the 8th.
But the point of this entry is to say this: I love our bench.
The addition of Chris Gomez and Asdrubal Cabrera gives me so much confidence in our infield. And even though Barfield's bat is in question, at least we can count on his defense.
And look out our outfield: possibly three of the best young outfielders in baseball (Sizemore, Gutierrez, and Francisco), a big time veteran in Lofton, and a guy who seems to always make the best of his chances in Michaels. And, hey, pie-in-the-face guy seems to do well for team unity.
Aside from yesterday, you also have to feel good about our rotation. Even if we haven't seen a lot out of Laffey, our post-season rotation would drop to four guys, and those four guys have been pretty amazing over the last few months.
Really, we just need ONE guy to step up in the bullpen and I'd feel pretty good about that, too. As harrowing as he can be, Borowoski has done his job and the two Raphaels are unbelievable. We just need one other guy to take the reins when we can't go to those guys.
It's kind of amazing, really.
