Bats

1. Adam Dunn 4 for 5, HR, RBI, 3R. Adam Dunn has 10 hits in 5 games. Yes, I swear this is true. I feel he has more hits over that span then he did the whole month of April. Oh, and one more thing. Fuck you, Adam Dunn.

2.^Jason Kubel 2 for 3, HR, 4RBI, R. Well, the secret is out. Kubel was going in the 200's around draft day and that was a sin. He is hitting .355 with 4HR and 20RBI this season and his second half of 2009 proves there is no reason to believe this is a fluke.

3. John McDonald 2 for 4, HR, 3RBI, 2R. Nice day for Johnny Mac, but it was his first one in a while and will probably be his last one for a while.  You don't get fantasy points for nice plays in the field. 

4. Starlin Castro 4 for 4, 3RBI, 3R. Slumped for a while, but of course has turned it on right in time for a matchup against yours truly. (Oh, What a Night.)

5. Jayson Werth 2 for 5, HR, 2RBI, R, SB. Watch out people. Jayson has connected for homers in each of his past two games and the swing is looking good. Damn good. If he can keep that short swing going, he may have finally found the groove that he seemed to leave at Citizen's Bank.

Arms

1. David Price 8IP, 5H, 2ER, 7K, W. I have loved this guy ever since the E:60 about him living out of his car in high school. Not only does he have some of the best stuff in baseball but I would love to take this guy out drinking. Well, make him take me out drinking...but you know what I mean.

2. Hiroki Kuroda 7IP, 3H, 8K, W. Hiroki! Nice rebound start against a surprisingly not terrible Pirates offense. Kuroda is arguably the second best pitcher on the Dodgers staff and someone Donnie can hand the ball to without hesitation (Something he can't say about most of the arms in his arsenal).

3. Ricky Nolasco 6.1IP, 5H, ER, 6K, ND. Dare I say you can use the word consistent while talking about this young man? So far so good.

4. A.J Burnett 7IP, H, ER, 6K, ND. 6 BB's was the killer in this one, yet as a Yankee fan I'm just going to call him "effectively wild" for now. The beaning of Francouer to put the tying run in scoring position was simply epic. Rule number 1: You hit Cano in the face, you're fucking out.

5. Matt Garza 5IP, 3H, ER, 7K, W. Garza only went 5 probably because of the lengthly rain delay, but even so was able to come back in and get the win and strike out seven Cards in the process. As a fantasy owner you can't be disappointed thus far.
