...the kids are alright!

whenever you have eugenio velez and manny burris in the starting lineup, there's got to be hope. Now if we could only get them both in the middle infield, along with Lewis, Winn, and Rowand in the outfield, benjie behind the plate, bowker at first, and castillo at third, that's almost a reasonable lineup.

and how 'bout Lincecum??!! hit 97 on the radar with runners in scoring position. a .500 doesn't seem that ridiculous now, does it?

here's a picture of Manny, in case you wondered what he looks like. get used to it--keeper!
