Scherzer was freakin' lights out with the 15 strikeouts today. We win 4-3. Bully. Against the Pirates we should be smokin' 10-3.

But rather than bemoan our feeble hitting, I'll heap some praise on a few of the guys who have finally started using the lumber. Props to Dirks who seems to have taken the two spot with some authority. And to the guy whose place he took, Brennan Boesch- he's suddenly coming to life at the bottom of the line up.

The rest of the guys who can't even hit their own weight need to pick it up or we're toast.
