I know I keep imploring people to read Goold's stuff, but once again, I think Bird Land has a really interesting article.  

It turns out that AROD is attributing his early season success to a hitting instructor who was instrumental in producing JROD's minor league explosion in 2004.  

Maybe JROD should call him again.  Sounds like he has been struggling lately.  I would like to see him get back on track and in a position to help the big club.
