sO, this is fun!

team is playing april games and winning.

will happy feelings continue when hordes of boston and new york fanz descend on camden from the north (like Orcs from Mordor) to remind diaspOra of lost decade?

maybe. maybe not.

meanwhile here are six things we've seen during first week:

thing one: trembO cares and he can manage and it seems he asks for -- and gets -- a "team first" ethic from club.

thing two: aubrey huff can hit and he is dangerous.

thing three: much like aubrey huff, luis hernandez draws much fan ire, but today he came though in clutch, big time.

thing four: brian roberts got cut down three times in one game between 3rd and home on saturday night. the first time he was safe; ump made a bad call but it was really close. the second time juan samuel waved him home on a misplay by seattle; roberts should not have been waved home there as there was only one out. the third time he got caught in a rundown on a squibber by nick markakis on a "go on contact from third" play with one out. i doubt you'll ever see that again in a game ... some guys go a whole year without making an out at 3rd base. yet none of them were really roberts' fault. just one of those things that make each game unique.

thing five: after game saturday night, george sherrill explained flat brim on cap. he told fred manfra "i just leave [the hat] the way they gave it to me." sherrill seems to fit in well with some of the doods on club like millar and huff.

thing six: luke scott is firing this april. wayward O may have to take back regret that tike redman did not make team.

have nice evening everybody. and let's hope daniel cabrera can lower his 13.50 era tomorrow!

if roberts was still doing roids aka b12 he probably would have scored four runs on those 3 chances. we hope the wayward O's knee isn't too banged up.

thanks for the well wishes, mark. wayward O's knee looks more swollen than hideki matsui after a three day nude hentai binge!

i had to look up hentai, that's some crazy shit. on wikipedia there's a woodcut called the dream of the fishermans wife, check it out. maybe you should strap an octopus to your knee.
