The guy they call "MadBum" out here is really quite an
athlete...Giants have drafted pitchers SO incredibly well over
the past 10+ years (e.g. Lincicome R1, Cain R2, Bumgarner R1).
Now that we have a bunch of guys who can mash, I'll hope there
are stud pitchers available to us when we draft and we can nab a
couple of them, too.
I'll also hope a some of our young guys (e.g. Johnson,
Underwood, Steele) can continue to improve and stay healthy.
Top FA pitching is almost ridiculously expensive (and risky).

Can somebody explain how the Houston Astros went from being the
worst team last year to one of the best this year?

They're in a division with no Cardinals, Pirates, Cubs or
Royals?

They also had a halfway decent farm system in place

Cards melting down against the Padres.
The Cards have runners on 1 & 3 in the 7th with no outs and the
next three hitters K. Bottom of the seventh Martinez gives up a
single. Jankowski bunted a hit and a sac bunt moved runners to
second and third. Mannes comes in and gives up 5 runs so far.
Edit: Padres end up scoring 7. My favorite play was the ball
that hit the security guard, who was ruled in play that let Kemp
score from first.

That's the Cardinals' first losing streak in more than three
weeks.

It happened before I started watching, but 1/3 K's was Martinez.

So the Cardinals now lead the Pirates by 3.5 games and the Cubs
by 6.5 games. A few weeks ago, it looked like the division race
was pretty much over...but with so many games left between the
three teams, it's starting to become an interesting race again.

Kershaw may get the CY again with 13 or so wins if this
continues. He's had one shaky start since the break against
Pittsburgh. These are his numbers over the other six starts.
48 IP, 23 H, 3 BB, 57 K
0.38 ERA, 0.54 WHIP
