He's just not a leadoff hitter. Of all the people who could lead off against a lefty, that's probably the worst choice, in my mind. Yeah, that Pudge showing sticks out in my mind, too.

Cabrera was awesome last night. I was very pleasantly surprised by Gallaraga last night as well. The best thing about his outing is they didn't have to burn up the bullpen to get through the game. I am so frustrated with Pudge and the way Leyland is using him. What the hell is he doing leading off? I believe it was in the 6th or 7th last night when Inge was walked on 4 pitches to walk a run in with Pudge coming up next. He swings at the first pitch, which didn't appear to be close to being a strike immediately after a batter was walked on 4 pitches with the bases loaded before flying out. I just feel like he should be batting in the bottom third of the order. I loved the way the team for the most part were working counts last night. It didn't get any better than the 10 pitch at bat to work a walk by Sheffield and Ordonez coming out of an 0-2 hole to work a walk (both against Sabathia). Wow, what an offensive showing.
