This was a nice thing to do for the mothers everywhere.
The Bucs gallop up to 114 runs, stepping past the Cleveland Indians and the Oakland Athletics. And they are tied for third place for another day.
The third place does not impress me. When you're under .500, it doesn't matter where you are in the standings, you still have nothing to crow about.
What does impress, though, is seeing the Bucs round into form and looking kinda tough. If the season (162 games) can be compared to a ten-round boxing match, the Bucs (played 30 games) are still standing at the end of the second round. And they are getting in a few good licks as they ready the bell.
Only six teams in the National League are over .500 on the road this year. The Bucs are one of those teams. Off to San Francisco to finish round two with a quick three-game set.
