We're struggling at the plate, and it happens early sometimes. We've got some thunder in this lineup, we've got some veteran guys, and it's going to come around. It's just a matter of time.

Early on without Lance Berkman, that really stretched their lineup, and then after Berkman got back in the lineup and Morgan got hot ... I think they are very much like last year,

We've got guys that started the year struggling terribly at the plate. Now, they're starting to show some signs that they're coming out of that. The second game, execution-wise, yeah we probably could have really busted it open, but we're trying to get better.

And because they have been unwilling to intervene early in the crises in Bosnia and Kosovo, they have ended up having to intervene -- in particular in Kosovo -- in a much greater fashion, a much stronger fashion later on after the crisis has grown, has expanded and the killing has gotten very serious.
