It's the best the guy has hit since becoming a Brave, do you think Fredi is going to take him out? haha I'd give it 2-3 weeks of suckage before he even thinks of moving him.

He hit well 6th last year (better than 1st this year). Either way, BJ Upton is not the Braves and him hitting well in one spot does not justify hitting him there over someone who would help the team more.

Oh, I completely agree. haha we just all know how stingy Fredi is with the lineup for periods at a time!

The sky looks a little bluer. The air smells a little nicer. Julio3000's mom tastes a little bit sweeter.

Is Clifford Lee returning this series?

Nope! We get AJ, Hamels and Kendrick.

I wouls rather face Lee than Kendrick. What is he like 13-1 vs the braves?

Between Santana and Teheran we have some pitchers who can really field the position.

We also have Aaron Harang.

Harang eats up everything that's in his vicinity.

Gobbles it up.

It seems like Santana had more movement on his fastball in the 1st inning than I've seen in a long time.

We need Byrd to pull a chicken so we can turn two.

Santana wild like turkey.

This ain't good.

Boy Howard looks bad getting around

Horrible attempt by LS. That's what happens when you try to one hand pop ups.

I am really sick of playing these guys.
