Season hinges on whether the non-Davies, non-Hader pitchers are closer to what they've shown the last 4 games or closer to the staff that has been lit up by the Cubs, Dodgers, and Cards. A lot of pitching staffs are probably going to look worse against those 3, but if they perform like they have the last 4 games this is a playoff contender.
I hope they acquire Bumgarner for a half eaten brat & warm Old Style.
Level of competition helps
The Mets and Nats aren’t the Cubs and Cards and Dodgers
Nice to see some bats come alive, but man Travis Shaw needs a slumpbuster bad
some folks might not know what you mean Ka-Bong. Here's the definition.....
On the definition of a "slumpbuster", after being pressed by host Jim Rome in a now-infamous 2003 interview on the television show "Rome is Burning" to clarify the baseball slang term (this is the "official" word-for-word transcript from the interview)...
"A slumpbuster is if a team's in a slump, or if you personally are in a slump, you gotta find the fattest, gnarliest, grossest chick and you just gotta lay the wood to her. And when you do that, you're just gonna have instant success. And it could also be called jumping on a grenade for the team."
Who was Rome interviewing?

I'm pretty sure it was Mark Grace.
John Kruk would be a slump buster for Venus Williams.
Correct, Cheezers....Mark Grace.
Interesting in interview post game Woodruff was talking about change in pitching plan including throwing first pitch strike. Novel idea dummies!!!!
I miss Derek Johnson more every day.
Is he using a wooden bat or a plastic one?
