    Drumbeats of '91, this is what it was like as far as Dodger matchups back then. This series is huge because of the gap before we see them again.

    to be fair, weather was supposed to be bad. i didn't make the decision to go until about 5PM, when it was clearing up. and tix were really cheap at that point.

    that was a weird play, what happened? did hernandez bobble the ball? it looked to me like he had a fairly easy play at 1st, but threw home?

    i've seen ozzie homer like 5 times in person this year. considering i would've been happy if he hit 10 home runs total..i like it.

    Bottom line is the Braves are already out pacing the average attendance from last year before the natural summer bump when kids are not in school. Not sure about the breakout of weekend games from 17 to 18 but things are looking up for the FA spending pool this year.

    Braves have fewest blown saves in the majors since Viz took over closer role again, I read.

    Bottom line is that the game was in Philadelphia?

    i was surprised at the lack of crowd there monday, tho not last night. monday was beautiful, and the phillies are playing well, and were playing the braves. still not a lot of people.

    I inferred the original comment from CyYoung as a mock of the criticism of Atlanta attendance. Maybe that was not interpreted appropriately.

    No. It was a comment on the seemingly declining attendance in baseball.

    You certainly have a knack for seeing things no one else sees.

    I might be tempted to give Dansby a night off and go lefty on Jake. I just can’t remeber if Jake is tougher against lefties vs righties.

    That really puts the constant Vizplaints in perspective.

    I feel like he is trying to find his slider still. Once that comes back he is very good. I am glad snit didn’t knee jerk with him. I would have. But I would be a horrible manager.

    I love how a relatively easy 3-1 win manifests in the game thread as three hours of complaining and b*tching about the umpiring.
