But I can have fun while it lasts, even enjoy some retro moments, like Miggie's blizzard home run followed by his diving spear of a sure-hit ground ball to force a runner at second. I always thought he was a better player when playing the field. Let him rip--until he breaks down or not.
I'm still awaiting the debut of Akil Baddoo [what a name eh?] the phenom who's never played above single A and who tore up spring training.
All in all an interesting mix of rising talent, fill-in journeymen [Robbie Grossman, Wilson Ramos, Jose Ureña] and castoffs [Julio Teheran, Derek Holland, Nomar Mazara] led by outcast manager with a World Series Championship under his belt.
