I find Howie Kendrick to be a fine, fine player, one who I enjoyed for years. But I sure am having a great time with this Johnny Giavotella guy. With a 2-run home run and a single, Johnny G had 5 total bases on offense last night. And he is an obvious dugout energy charger. It may be short-lives, but while it lasts it's like our own little miracle.
It's pathetic, therefore, that we have to sit here and lament how we wasted the contributions of Johnny Giavotella. Not Trout. Not Pujols.
