lots of road games coming up and how this team can perform on the road is going to be vital in how they end up. when they are playing well, they are a very good team but they've definitely got some holes that get exposed sometimes.

they've had way too many occasions where they get base runners on with none or one out and don't score or get only one run. big turnaround from the great risp average last year and hopefully it can get a little better.

bullpen is an issue as well. they've only realistically got a couple bp pitchers that are good and the rest are terrible. Maybe Swarzek will continue pitching well and either Liriano or Perkins can move to the pen to help it out.

the top 2/3 of the batting lineup is typically very strong but the bottom 1/3 is very weak and not much for pinch hitters on the roster when the inevitable occurs and the bottom 3rd of the lineup is scheduled to bat late in the game in an inning where runs are needed.

fortunately, they play in the right division where there's time to right the wrongs. think there needs to be a couple personnel changes somewheres along the road to make them a real potential contender for something more than just winning the division.

"Back to .500"

I think we'll be hearing this phrase a lot this season unless they can start winning on the road and they figure something out in the bullpen. I hear Glavine was released by the Braves, lets sign him and see how much dust falls of his arm.

That was when they had the bases loaded and one out right? Heart of the order up to bat and no runs scored. That can't happen if they want to win the division or go deep into the playoffs.

What is really bad is all the home field advantages we have enjoyed since 1982 will be gone soon, they better start learning how to win without that dome over there heads, or they will be on for some long seasons.

KMR,

Looking about the same 400 miles away here in the Windy City. Good game bad game good game two bad games, not much excitement yet. I don't think anybody really has the horses to run away with this division this year. First team to 85 wins might just take it! LOL

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
