That said, some managers will be more relaxed than others, and Adriano Rosario's vs Desert Storm pits two teams who still have a lot to play for. Both have struggled a bit in recent weeks, and this will be a chance for one or other to right the ship and head towards the post-season. Rosario's hit well; with Braun and Hamilton combining for 59 HR and 200 RBI, while Storm will rely heavily on the bat of Dye.
