Well, today I came down to Tempe to catch a few games and see the halos once again. What I saw were very good things. Lackey was working out very diligently with trainers trying to get back into healthy shape and for the most part he didn't look to bad- although he wasn't throwing much.

Black magic despite giving up four runs didn't look bad at all. He had decent control and managed hitters very well when he was ahead in the count. It seemed almost all his hits came off of counts where he fell behind throwing the breaking ball first. 

Team chemistry looked very good. Torii is a great fit for this club, joking around with everyone and getting the whole team in a good mood. The injury to Matthews didn't look to terrible. It just looked like he rolled it and they were taking precautionary actions but what do I know? Tomorrow we head to Tuscon to check out the halos against the diamond backs.  Go Halos!
