Lets go boys!

Lord BABIP claiming the cleanup spot in the name of the House of Johnson.

[Dalyn]

Elliot is seriously the starting 2B? Awesome idea.

[NinersSBChamps]

Wasn't this game made yesterday?

He has to do something, now that his surname has been besmirched.

And why is Bill Murray playing second!?

Did you watch him yesterday, it's only until Wednesday, don't worry about it. He's better than Janish which is your other choice.

I'd rather have Simba patrol both spots.

Beachy to the 15-day DL, Todd Cunningham up from Gwinnett, bench is full strength again.

Beachy had a promising career. Hopefully he can be successful in life without baseball.

Not so fast, everybody believes its just inflammation again, Dr. Andrews visit is hopefully to confirm that, because he's the only one that can read the MRI

No. I didn't. But he is a career .212 hitter with an OPS of .580 or so. Basically, he is Paul Janish with more speed and not as good defensively.

[bravesnumberone]

Medlen needs his "A" stuff tonight. No more than 2 runs and hope one of our big hitters can crank one.

Another positive post from a very negative person

Beachy had a promising career. Hopefully he can be successful in life without baseball.

Braves 2b:

Uggla- fans complain incessantly about him...replaced by Pastornicky
who fans complain about...replaced by Janish...who fans complain about..replaced by
Eliot Johnson, who fans complain about, and can't wait till Uggla comes back.

Better than Janish but I'm still amazed we ignored the UTIL spot for so long.

Overreact much? It's common for a pitcher to have these issues coming back from TJ. There's a good chance he's dealing with inflammation and just needs rest. Not saying there isn't a chance it could be something major because it's possible but this is common if it ends up being inflammation.

[BlackwaterPark]

I sure hope we win tonight

Reminds me of the vicious cycle of manager hate. Fans cant wait for Cox to retire..replaced by Fredi who fans complain about... who will be replaced by someone else the fans will complain about.... who will be replaced by someone else who the fans complain about... who will be replaced by someone else who the fans complain about.
