A lineup without power requires too many stars to align all at once, i.e. several consecutive hits to score. Which is why the '95 lineup won so often: Belle, Baerga, Alomar, Murray, Sorrento and others had the ability to pop one out at any time. This group? Well, Hafner showed today he's still got "pop" in his bat....popping out twice to the infield, along with his strikeout.

Brace yourselves, folks, this offense ain't scaring ANY opposing pitchers. So if our hurlers don't keep us in the game, we'll have no need for that "secret weapon" Kerry Wood, anyway. He might as well be Wilbur Wood. Just as I feared, Hall of Famer Kevin Millwood makes the punchless Tribe lineup look like a herd of T-ballers.
