Who figured he could drive the ball that far batting lefty. Watch the replay and you'll see hesitates before he starts to run hard....maybe even he couldn;t believe how hard he hit it. The guy had a very nice game all around and you gotta give him credit for his resilience after that popup thing vs. the Skanks.

He fields the grounders and pop flies like a third baseman, he covers the bunt well and he will learn the necessary foot work and tricks for picking up the low throws. If he sticks to first base, I think he could be a gold glover some day. From what I can see, Murphy has the potential to be an excellent first baseman.

Competition is good! Can't wait for more of it. If Murphy CAN play first, Reyes and Beltran come back and Johnny Maine is OK; we are as good as anybody! Delgado and Wagner remain long shots to return (and in what shape, if they do?) Since Nieve is pitching so well, Redding is obliged to step it up; as he did last night.

But I must say one thing about Razor Shines...the guy is off his rocker and a horrific 3rd base coach!!! It seems that every time he has to decide on whether to send a guy or not he makes a bad decision! If you look at just tonights game, he twice sent a player home when they easily should have been thrown out. Omir Santos was safe at home because molina missed the balled which arrived about five steps before he came in. Also, Castillo was pretty out but received a gift from the ump. Maybe it's just me, but this happens way too much!!! I realize this is supposed to be a happy night, and lord knows we don’t get many of them.

Gary called him the "8th Inning Guy" now. At last. I like Parnell, but he's young. The ups & downs are part of the ride. Do you want ups & downs in the 8th? Eh, not so much... Yes!

I thought Cora was a great signing. It was Cora on the DL that had me more worried than Delgado, Putz, and (almost) Reyes. He knows how to win; he knows what it takes. And I'll say again: Murphy & Church need to play their respective positions every day. Every day. THat should never have changed. Last, glad to see Jerry admitting he was raping the bullpen. Sending Redding back out in the eighth? I'm for it. Here here, Matt! I thought Cora was a great signing. It was Cora on the DL that had me more worried than Delgado, Putz, and (almost) Reyes.

If all 30 teams got to remove one contract from their roster who would it be? Overwelmingly Oliver Freaking Perez came rushing to my mind! What do you guys think?
