If they can stay healthy, keep the suspensions from happening and not let mental things get in the way they very well could stay strong all year....the last three or four years of history shows they are an after the all star break strong team....if history repeats itself it should be a deep run again.

The mindset isn't much beyond game to game....they look to win each series and then go on to the next.

Pitching could go South again but 3 of the last 4 were shutouts with teams that include the Yankees and the Cards.

Hochever, Herrara, Davis and Holland are all on at least 3 days rest...you got to like that moving forward the next couple games....if they get to finish the series with the typhoon coming in this evening.

They could get schooled tonight just the same...but I like the roll they are on.
