Alou hasn't scared me in several years, frankly. His last year with the Cubs when he could only hit in Wrigley was the beginning of that, I think. Reyes is definitely a threat, as is Wright, and Delgado still concerns me quite a lot. That bullpen of theirs often means you need to have a lead before their starter leaves the game, something we haven't been able to do a lot this year in non-Hudson/Smoltz starts. Hopefully we can pull out a series win, but I feel like these two clubs are awful damned similar, and that their bullpen gives them a slight edge over us.
