The great thing about all of those disappointments (listed in the poll) this year...we are in first place!

If we would have been told before the season started of Barfield's low power and BA, Hafner's decline, Cabrera's ineffectiveness, Dellucci's non-existance, Lee's collapse and Westbrook's lost half-season...would anyone really have believed that we could be in first place? I am truly thankful for all of the surprises that we have had this year to balance all of the negatives. Where would we be without our prospects stepping up this year?
