Boltnut, your threw me off there a little with your title but still a great thread. I'm absolutely overwhelmed with Luke Carlin right now. I think he was a fantastic addition by KT, working with Maddux to get his 350th win, keeping base runners from stealing, and getting his first big league hit. It's gonna take some getting used to not seeing Josh Bard throwing his helmet off all the time in vain...NOT!
I also think Byran Corey looked good in his first outing. He looked very strong facing those three batters in the ninth and forcing the double play ball to end the game. Are we going to use him strictley in the bullpen or is he a possible addition in the rotation until Prior comes to throw?
This Cubies series is going to be a big factor in how our May is going to end up. They swept the Snakes and are looking pretty strong right now. I hope we really show up, especially after that last season brawl with Derek Lee. I'd like to see us bring the pain that they brought on Chris Young's season (he never really came back after that suspension, remember how he lost the All-Star game in his first appearance after the suspension?) I'd like to see Wolf get his first win as a Padre and also for us to use that batters ballpark to our advantage. This is make or break Pads, lets do this!
