That 3rd inning was just plain odd. 2 outs, bases empty, pitcher up = 5 runs on 0 hard hit balls. It's BS to credit those 5 runs to CHP. The 2 meatball homerun pitches...that's a different story.

Yes and no on that one. Park retired the first two, let the pitcher (although a good hitting one) get a hit. Then walked the next two to let Cabrera get up there with the bases loaded. Some of that belongs on Park, not 5 runs but some of it certainly does.

I'm assuming Pelfrey is going to get another couple of starts to see if he is ready for this level. Park will probably wind up getting another 2 or 3 starts. Hopefully El Duque is only on the DL for about 15 days an no more.

We really need Ollie to stay consistent. And we also need Wright & Delgado to figure out how to hit again. We are going to need those 2 guys swinging the bat to win some of these 10-8 games which are going to be frequent with Park & Pelfrey in the rotation.
