HALF WAY TO I TOLD YA SO LAND

So get your tickets now. This glorious month of May has been looking pretty swell as of late. First and foremost, for the sake of not forgetting what you've got, our bullpen as a whole is filthy. I mean Tijuana Donkey Show, filthy. Watching the Brew Crew's pen and Colorado's pen should make the Friar Faithful proud. Speaking of filthy, why has no one here at JC mentioned Jorge Cantu's facial hair? It's skeezed out:

"I don't always grow facial hair, but when I do, it's real skeezy."  

Second of all, one night after a Hot-Bat-Hawp got all Will-Smith-Summer-Movie hero on us, there was a Matt Latos sighting today in Denver. He was giving up some deep fly balls but just only one measly earned run over 5 2/3, and when he was pulled in the 6th with a runner on, our big swinging dick 'pen came in and got a strikeout to preserve the lead.

Oh and there's been that something called otfence...oufance? Offense? Chan4 gave us the stat that in April our team BA with runners in scoring position was .180. May thus far? BOOM .293. And that was before all eight of our runs (God I loved typing that) today so it's gotta be north of that number. Detractors will say that going to Milly-Wah-Kay and Denver back-to-back will do that to a team BA, but no one would have been surprised if it hadn't, so I'm not buying it. What am I going to do when we stop scoring 6+ in a game? More naps, probably.

If we continue to hit .275+ with RISP, Latos stays fly, and our Defense cleans up a bit we are going to start quietly winning 2 out of 3 again, like one glorious summer ago. The division is close, keep that faith.
