    Nolasco's doing OK. Nothing out of this world, but he's not bad. 4-2, 3.15 ERA in 4 starts.

    I'm not sure Perez will figure it out in Pittsburgh.

    I've noticed it, too. Even when they lost last night, it was only 1-0. Burnitz, Casey, Wilson, Randa ... those guys have all seen better years. I love the young position players that are getting a chance now.

    Call me crazy, but I think the Bucs could snap their losing ways sooner than later with these arms.

    And speaking of needing a 4th starter:

    Alay Soler 7 IP, 1 R, 6H, 7Ks...
    Mets up 4-1 over Dodgers in the 8th

    Holy fucking shit, did Castillo look like the second coming of Barry Bonds last weekend against the Brewers.

    Of course, just about everyone does nowadays. I hear they're looking into signing Eddie Harris... ::)

    And people have said the same thing about the Brewers with Sheets, Capuano, Davis and company.

    People have said the same thing about the Cubs with Wood, Prior, Zambrano and company.

    And people dumped on the Reds for their lack of pitching.

    We're a third through the season and which of those teams has the best starting pitching? It's the team that has the best record of the three.

    Who? The Cubs got Nate Spears, hitting barely over Mendoza in his second year of high-A ball. Last year he was much better, muuuuch better in the Carolina League. They also got Carlos Perez, who is getting smoked like a batch of ribs in North Carolina right now.

    Just to make sure you don't think I'm crazy, when I talk about the Bucs ending their losing ways, I have no illusions about the playoffs. Simply 82-80 would do it for me.

    Yet Dusty Baker, Gene Clines and Gary Matthews continue to pick up paychecks.

    Speaking of the Mendoza line, Ken Singleton did an explainer on the Yankees telecast the other day that reminded me of a long-ago time when newspaper agate was meaningful. He said that the Mendoza Line was wherever Mario Mendoza was listed when the league averages were published each Sunday -- something I always looked forward to -- and that no player wanted to be listed below that. But he also noted that the Line is generally considered to be .200 now.

    Lou, or any of the Red Sox faithful, what's with Josh Beckett? Any thing to worry about long range?

    although I think Mario Mendoza, who was good defensively, was over the Mendoza line because his career average was .215
