So Much for our Master Plan

We lost the game, and with that we lost a good chance to take first place very soon. It looks like the Rockies have escaped on the wings of Byung-Hyun Kim. The fact that we lost to Kim is insulting. The fact that we only scored one run (in the first inning!) is even worse! The person that drove in our solo run is (what a suprise) J.D. Drew. So far I see two easy all-stars: J.D. Drew and Nomar Garciaparra. Whether Jeff Kent, Rafael Furcal, and Brad Penny make it to the All-Star Game will depend on how we finish this month. This could be great or awful, and let's hope for the first possibility!

Even though the Rockies escaped, they are far from off of the hook. They are now in third place (San Diego swooped in to the lead) and we are currently in fourth. Our division is extremely tight at the moment, which only makes this part of the season more crucial...
