Another frustrating loss by the Bucs. Haven't won a series since vs. the Nats & now 2 GB the Brewers. Miserable May continuing with no end in sight.

5-15 Now in May

Pitching has been decent - Offense is either all or nothing. Corner infielders and outfielders need to start hitting more balls out of the park. 2 Homers so far this season from Santana and 1 from Hayes is a major problem.

[GreenWeenie]

Deal Hayes. Someone will like him enough to give us an adequate catcher to get him.

First off, I am happy with how well our pitching staff has done so far and thrilled we are over .500.
As far as our position players: It seems like we guys that can hit OK, but we have nowhere to play them in the field where they will help us. Then our solid fielders, aren't hitting up to snuff. Maybe the next rule change, would be to allow a couple more DHs in the line-up (but we pick out the position players we want them to DH for.)
