If Reyes has taught us anything, he has taught us that plate discipline can be learned while not losing your agressiveness. i do think Reyes was an extremely rare player in that regard. Do you have any justification for the feeling that guys with lots of raw talent who come to the majors around the age of 20 would rarely learn plate discipline? Because if you don't then it's hard to care.

PMFI, but IMHO, the Glavine-hating thing is wearing just a tad thin.
-
If the Carloses get hot together we might get some of those wins back quickly.

The votes for whoever's actually having the better year start to come in later on but they don't always have enough time to make up the difference. Regardless, it's a good job.

And Pedroia walks on four pitches.
-
And JD Drew homers on the third pitch he throws.
-
Tyler Yates, pitching to a 3.23 ERA this year, is in for the Braves with a 7-2 lead.

Gotta love Gary. He stopped talking mid-sentence so we could hear the crowd cheer Maine as he walked off the mound. Either that or he started choking on a peanut.

The Prince has 26 homers this year. Bernie Brewer must be getting paid overtime.
-
Neither Buehrle nor Millwood would be significant upgrades over our current starters. Millwood would be a huge step backwards.
-
Look out now. We got offense. Green going the other way to the base of the wall.
-
Delgado getting hits. I don't like him pulling low outside changeups into right though.
-
At least Beltran hit a hard ground ball that time.
-
There's also the other side of the coin. Alou refuses to come back unless he feels perfect.
