[The Chosen One]

Wait, Pena is hitting 9th. ?!?!?! LOL

EDIT: DOB confirmed! "La Russa like!"

[The Chosen One]

Uggla must feel so terrible that he can't hit 9th.

[sturg33]

Finally have the right top 4

[Hawk]

Baby steps. Still not perfect, but I'll take it.

[Mad Dog Murph]

Updated with Cards lineup

[nsacpi]

Glad to see Pena at second. Good call by Fredi considering Shelby Miller's splits.

[gilesfan]

Is that the real lineup?

[Mad Dog Murph]

Is that the real lineup?

No, I made it up.

Yes, it is the lineup that was tweeted by O'brien

[jsebe10]

It is lame to bat Harang eighth. I hope he comes up with the bases loaded and two outs.

Man the way this team has been hitting, I don't care if they bat an Elephant 8th, I just needs a good shake up. I like this line up.

[nsacpi]

Fredi wants to be fired.

[jpx7]

Fredi wants to be fired.

He's just on the good stuff now, riding it for as long as he can:

[jpx7]

I don't care if they bat an Elephant 8th.

Close.

[CyYoung31]

I think only a professional psychoanalyst could understand this. Fredi has to go through these contortions to somehow limit the psychological impact on Uggla. I always found it curious he wouldn't hit Uggla 8th. So now he his leaving him out of the lineup, but batting his replacement ninth. Maybe it does make Uggla feel better. But to me it just seems weird. Pendleton for manager.

lol

[Julio3000]

Drink when any of our 3-4-5 hitters K.

Drink when Gattis swings at a pitch outside the zone.

Two drinks when Tron swings at the first pitch.

Two drinks when a brave makes an out with RISP.

Two drinks when Jason hits into a 4-3.

Two drinks when Chip makes a play on words.

Two drinks if Chip refers to Harang's height or girth.

Finish your drink if Joe Simpson talks about somebody keeping their hands inside the baseball.

Finish your drink when the Braves fail to get a bunt down.

This will be a short game thread...we will all be passed out by the 3rd inning

[Enscheff]

Chug an entire beer when the Braves hit a lead off double, followed by a K, then a fly out to advance the runner to 3B, then a grounder to the right side for the 3rd out...thus scoring zero runs due to terrible sequencing, and ushering in calls for playing small ball.

Man I work at 3am (Westcoast time) these drinking games are ganna kill me!!

[Julio3000]

I'm going to play my own private drinking game based around pleas for a team that can manufacture runs and hit with RISP.
