prior to him landing on the DL, Phil soon turned into one of the best in the rotation. His first few outings looked like garbage (which led to his enormous ERA), but soon after that, he was working into the 6th and 7th innings with ease against the better part of the division, like the Cubs and Cardinals. Tyler Yates, has held down the fort for the most part with John Grabow and Damaso Marte out of the bullpen. All hold decent ERA's under 4.00, especially with the amount of work they have done (137.2 innings combined). Also, they're almost unhittable with a combined BAA running around the .229 mark, very respectable. Then, there's Matt Capps, who before he on the DL was about as automattic as Mariano Rivera. Ok, so comparing him to Mariano Rivera isn't fair, but he was pretty lights out. He blew his last two save opportunities before we found out, he wasn't struggling, he was hurt. He's still on the DL as we speak, but I don't think anyone is worried about his ability when he comes back to the bullpen. But, let's keep this short. Game 2 of this series, was one of the best we've seen all year, and the offense just kept coming. Jason Michaels, thanks for being waived by Cleveland. They're known for stupid stuff like that anyways. Brian Giles? For a 1st half, the offense was amazing and the pitching was pathetic. The first half is in the books, I can't wait to see what the trade deadline and the rest of the season brings. 6 back of .500, let's make '08 special! Go Bucs!

Not What I Was Thinking Exactly
Hey, I got news for ya! The pitching stinks sooooo bad, the offense is running out of innings to put up as many as they can. Oh my goodness! Have you watched this lately? To be honest, I would much rather was this team lose 94 games without having a prayer from both sides of the spectrum. I really hurts to see Jason Bay, Xavier Nady, Nate McClouth, Ryan Doumit, and even Jack Wilson having successful years at the plate. Meanwhile, every person who steps foot on the rubber 60 some feet away makes Bill Hall look like Babe Ruth and Pete Rose rolled into one. Don't get me wrong, there are few bright spots. Phil Dumatrait, before going on the DL (twice), was having a pretty solid year. For his first year,
