As usual, their pitching staff is fairly solid, but their hitting is non-existent. (In fact, I hear Seaver is going to sue for non-support....) This is the same pattern they showed in '67 and '68, before the Great Miracle; I wouldn't be surprised if they did suddenly turn into a contender. (It would be lovely to go to another World Series game; my ticket stub from '69 (which I carry in my wallet) is getting a bit bedraggled....)
