During bad times, it's always a nice thing to face the Blizzards for a four game series. They are really not that bad, but somehow we have their number. Just a pity that Gamel went down with injury as he was fourth in the NL in batting. I never thought de la Cruz would make our active roster, but he offers above average defense and power. We finish our mamooth homestand with three games against the wildcard-leading Mets. A team that owns the leagues best offense.
