It certainly is!!! I can't believe it's taken so long for the penny to drop that pitching wins ballgames. Over the last few years they've been no higher that 27th in the majors for team ERA and, surprise surprise, have been whipping boys. A new GM, new head coach and an improved pitching staff and the wins are clocking up. I don't think they're strong enough to be in contention at the end of the season but at this point I'll settle for a season above 500. It'll be interesting to see what they do in terms of trades if they still have a chance bit further down the road.
It's a very good start and I think it's good enough to propel them to at keep above .500 to near the All Star break. I was the same a couple of years ago with the Reds but we skipped a year too when we won the NL Central.

It's a great ballpark, been there a couple of times. Never been to Wrigley or any of the NY parks but went on a tour of Fenway, unfortunatly the Red Sox were on a road trip so didn't get to see a game there. Standing at the bottom of the green monster was pretty cool though.
That's excellent
