I realize Lester is a tough lefty but Fredi has got to stop playing Stubbs over Mallex. It's so stupid. Stubbs gives us nothing.

Reading the Arm and it has some interesting braves references in it. One was LEster really wanted teh Braves to step up and they offered 6/120

Expecting a yuge game from Flowers

I guess I haven't been paying close attention, but has Castro been at SS over Aybar when both have been in the starting line-up previously?

I think this is the first time but I could be wrong.

The way Chip and Joe were talking it probably is the first time.

True, although that means relying on the idea that Chip and Joe know what the hell they are talking about which is a stretch.

Why not see if Mallex can figure out lefties? Playing him the way he's being played probably isn't going to help him.

Must have missed when Fredi did that a week ago.

that's a really good offer IMO.

Knock wood for today, but this is the second year in a row that Heyward has gotten off to a slow start. I'm sure it will pick up for him, but I hope he doesn't heat up until we leave town.

Freeman homer! Dude is back!!

[mossy]

I see Freeman's wrist still needs surgery.

[Ozzie Swanson]

Damnit Flowers stop striking out looking, you're only giving Fredi reasons to play AJ.

[sturg33]

Blair's got a nice change up working

[Ozzie Swanson]

Stubbs needs to go, he brings us absolutely nothing.

Ah you're right, we should give up with it then.

[The Chosen One]

Francoeurlol.

[Ozzie Swanson]

Can't wait for Fredi to pull Blair at about 80 pitches if he continues to give up a few more hits.
