Jro's hit streak over.
I guess I was right with there is no way in hell this goes past April 10th. Jimmy is a fantastic player who got very hot last year, but if you thought this was getting past 45 your nuts. There was some discussion about if he passed Dimaggio if it should count as a different record. Well Jimmy took 5 months off from hitting in August and September and came into a 40 degree and windy day in Philly. Had he of reeled of 20 straight the record should have been all his.Dissapointed about the Phils start.

The one thing everybody said before the year, was they cant get off to a bad start. So now there catching up from the start, and even 2/3 from the Dodgers and their still 2 games under .500. Oh well i guess that annual 5-16 stat vs. the marlins will probably be a little more slanted in our favor this year.

Interested to see how the young guns pitch this weekend. Madson and Floyd both have a chance to be very good, and for the bold prediction of the week I say they win a combined 30 games this year. Madson is one of those guys who wont over power Jim from Marketing at the company softball game, but just knows how to get guys out. Everything coming out about Floyd has been positive from switching back to his high school and minor league mechanics to his mental make up being where it should be (whatever the hell that means). Apparently he tried to increase his velocity last year, so he started throwing like Billy Wagner and burned his arm out. Which makes me wonder why they even have pitching coaches. You think Rich Dubee couldnt have said last year, "Ehh Gav thats not your usual mechanics and maybe you should stop throwing first pitch fastballs 90% of the time."

The back 9 at Augusta and the Phightins at home, should be a good weekend.
