It's almost like we are stealing wins. There's no way we should be winning some of those games! It almost feels like we are a bit of a house of cards and could start a long losing streak any moment except that won't because we are getting some truly amazing pitching and timely hitting. And the good news is that things should get better!
I know what you mean! But banking these wins while they can, especially given the tough competition and the gruelling month, is just so huge. The competition doesn't get easy, but *easier* in May (after Cleveland it's the Yankees and Rays on the road, Seattle and Cincinnati at home, then a trip to St. Louis then Anaheim). Plus they'll have four off days in the month, which should really help. The bats should come alive pretty soon, I'd think. Getting Teoscar back will also be huge. And, jeez, Jansen might be a more valuable hitter than Kirk at the moment too -- though that can change quickly.
