Box Score Bytes - Game 47

1)  Decent pitching performance by Chacin who goes 7 but has one nightmare inning....we should remember this kid is only 23 and has all of 2 years in the Bigs.  Weight on his shoulders is going to be heavier now that de la Rosa is done for this year and with U-Ball struggling...

2)  Giambi has found the fountain of youth or at least a bat he likes...hits 5 homers in last 5 games.

3)  Purple uniforms have turned against us...1-7 this month

4)  Pretty punchless offense for the night cap...6 hits, 2 homers, and Tulo goes 0 for 4.  Loved the article by Kizla today...time the excuses stop and decide whether this season is going to be special...

5)  It was the Matt relief squad in Game 2 today...
