He got up and hit 2 straight pitches way out of the park but they were both foul balls, both five to ten feet left of the foul pole in left field. Then he hit a
3rd pitch and it was fair and even farther than the previous two.

Kazmir has been average at best since the break, and they are still winning... Shields has been the stand out, with Garza a close second...If Edwin Jackson ever got an ounce of run support he'd be right up there as well. Sonnenstein has been the 5th starter and he'd be 2nd or 3r any any other team right now...The bats have awaken, and the bull pen is stout. They've got a soft schedule for the next few weeks and then 4 brutal series' with NY and BOS in Sept. Should be interesting, I've been to about 10 games this year and can honestly say the confidence this team plays with each day is impressive. 6 runs in the bottom of the 9th today to take the series from Cleveland which has been kryptonite to them.

Good luck, you will need it guys - Joba headed to the DL:
