The lat road trip was good. It is at home that seems to be hurting us the most. Keep Batista off the mound and it should be good. If only there were a way to let him pitch for two or three innings without it counting then he would be good. But nearly every time that guy takes the mound, he puts a couple of guys on base in the first half inning he plays.

His performance went unnoticed for me for a long time. The we got rid of the putz Putz and the terrible inconsistency came screaming out of the closet.
