Five in a row and back to .500, which is amazing. The division is still up for grabs, and things look pretty good. Hopefully the Dodgers and Astros can keep their streaks alive. I'm still not sure why Saenz isn't in the lineup against lefties. It's not like we can afford to be inefficient with the use of our at-bats. Oh well. At least Aybar is up instead of Robles, who is a little too much like Martinez to be useful (or is it the other way around?). He's continued last year's major league success at Las Vegas, and hopefully he can give us something like he did last year.
On with the "businessman's special."
