Coco must be eating his Wheaties. How else do you explain his recent power surge? Three games, three home runs. And amazingly none were of the inside-the-park variety.

Just as impressive was Lester who has now gone 10 straight starts without allowing more than 3 ER. Maybe John Farell knew something when he supposedly pounded on the table begging the front office not to trade Lester for Santana. Anybody who can strike out Ryan Howard three times and hold the NL’s best offensive team to the big goose egg in runs over 7 IP in that bandbox of a stadium gets my seal of approval.
