Jose Contreras has officially had himself a quality start. A great start if I may say so. The key really is the 0 walks in 7 innings of work. There wasn't a whole lot of offense in support but Jimmy's 3 run shot in the first sufficed. End of a 'slump' for Thome? We'll see. I'm not so sure. I'm thinking that what I've been reading about moving him out of the 3 hole for awhile to take the pressure off is probably a good plan. Also, Bobby Jenks remains untouched on the season. Just thought that deserved a mention.

About how Mark Buehrle’s implosion was a repeat of Jose Contreras’s from a year earlier, against the same team. About us getting ready to be the same team, defeated from the start.

The propaganda of course is that Jose Contreras is back on track and the source of his problems last year, lack of concentration due to personal issues, has been resolved. Watching him on the mound I’d say so far so good. Velocity is up and the as a result the forkball, though not quite the killer it can be just yet, is workin. Even more impressive were the hacks he took up at the plate. Struck out lookin in his first AB but not before getting two nice looking swings in and in his second AB he stroked a single. I don’t know that I’ve ever seen him actually make contact. I was impressed.
