I really do like seeing Theriot in the leadoff spot. As much as I am all for giving Pie a chance, I was hoping Theriot would get to bat leadoff more.

Richy has looked really good tonight. Not getting behind a whole lot of hitters and its good to see he can get out of a jam when he needs to. His ERA is starting to look more like a breathalyzer test result (which in this case is good)
