WHO SUCKS?
Luis Castillo: .120 (3 for 25), 1 RBI in last 7 games

Notes: We were left for dead at the start of the day, now we've risen from the dead. 2.5 out of the wildcard after a great run, and poised to make another big move tomorrow if we carry this form over. Our pitching is still an unmitigated mess, but with Steve Howe in the fold now, I think we'll see some improvement. I'm also happy to see our starting pitching begin to turn a corner. Our middle guys are combining for a 20-15 record and a 3.77 ERA. Now if only we can get Valdez over .500 and his ERA down under 4.
