Walden will be ROY

after taking over for Rodney and saving 35 games while striking out 105 in 86 IP.

without Utley and Werth, their offense is average, borderline mediocre. Who is going to pick up the slack? Ryan Howard is a threat, but he’s far less intimidating the last few years, and even less so if you can just pitch around him. Who does that leave? Freakin’ Raul Ibanez?

Best rotation ever? Sure, enjoy it. Maybe you can get 14 straight division titles with one World Series to show for it like the last team that had that, too.

I actually gained a little respect for Cowturd

this morning. He is the only ESPN guy to take the Angels coming out of the west. I liked it.
