Its waaaaaaaay early. The 03 Marlins were bad to start off. But 4-8, about to be 4-9. Whats goin on? I thought theyd be good(non-sarcastic).

Ya know, theyre killing Hawk.

It could be worse, you could be a National fan whose team just gave up 10 runs in the first inning.

This time I think it is true. Without J.D and Thome this team has a faster more versatile lineup. Konerko is still a piano pulled,but at least that's just one and not three. I don't know if the changes will pan out. I guess we will have to wait and see. After all that's the fun part right?

Also, the "hit on 18" system is also one endorsed by Nas. Had to get that out of the way.

What about the hit on '17 and 364' system?

Theyre wasting Alex Rios good start, he's not gonna hit like this all year.

.265 is a good start?

Well it's better than his 09 season. But he's hitting the ball hard, im sure his bapip is low.

But if that's the case, it suggests he should get better, no?

Correct, Roger. In the opening homestand of the season, Rios was hitting ropes all over the ballpark. Unfortunately, just about every one of them was right at a corner outfielder. I know you can't really quantify that, but it shows that he is/was swinging the bat pretty well.

Rios isn't the problem here, fine. He was just a bonus if you could get something resembling his career numbers this year. This guy is the 6-7 hitter. This lineup needs the leadoff man to get on, and consistent contact from the 3-5 hitters. Quentin and Konerko are driving in a few runs, but everyone is around the Mendoza line. .214 as a team is not going to cut it.
