Good to get a win, but now you have game 2 and have already pitched Gibault, Farmer, Young, and Law. Need Richardson to go deep tonight. His 3.0 IP from last start would be a killer.

Still have no idea why they don't have/use a long relief guy on the staff. Final 3 innings of a game where you have a 5 run lead would have been a great time to save Gibault and Law for Game 2.

We could have kept Weaver as a long man, but I think he just had too much of a stink on him in the organization and needed to be completely removed.

Funnily enough, Weaver saw his first action with the Mariners tonight and he pitched 2 hitless innings with 5 Ks as a reliever haha.

Oh well.

Can't start a road trip much better than we did here with the 3 game sweep against the Angels.

Tied with Chicago for 2nd place in the divison and now sole ownership of the third WC spot!

Let's keep it going with a sweep against the Dbacks
