D-Day

The Marlins beat the Expos in San Juan last night to take their sixth straight game, thanks in large part to a stellar performance by Dontrelle Willis. The Florida left-hander wasn't content to throw five shutout innings - he also went 3-for-3 at the plate, making him 6-for-6 for the season (including a double and a home run).

Not to be outdone, Marlins outfielder Miguel Cabrera hit yet another home run (his fifth in his last 13 at-bats). Cabrera has now homered in four straight games and is proving that last season was no fluke. He can hit, hit for power, play pretty much any defensive position you ask him to - this guy is a star in the making. The icing on the cake is that I managed to draft him onto my fantasy baseball team, so he's also making me look like a good manager, which is a very rare occurrence. I hope his season continues in the same vein...
