Raaaaaauuuuullll!!!

Wow, what a game. A few thoughts about last night: I had the pleasure of attending last nights game and I can tell you the ball was really flying out of the Cit (as if you needed me to tell you that....). Zimmerman's two homers were some of the longest I have ever seen, anywhere.

Speaking of homers, I have been so impressed with Raul Ibanez so far. I am a fan of baseball outside of Philly as well, so I knew a little about Raul before he came here. What I didnt know was that he has plus power, and that he would be such a large defensive upgrade over Burrell.

My final thought: Is that way the A's dumped Blanton and Cubs dumped Eyre?? Boy were they terrible. Even if the ball was carrying, someone doesnt hit a 460 foot homer off you unless its a real meatball.....
