Let's try this again -- Hudson and Maine are still scheduled to go. Does this mean that we won't get Santana and Smoltz on Sunday?

Picks

1. 24,778
2. Escobar
3. Hudson starts shaky due to being delayed, but settles down, but unfortunately does not get the decision.

Also, according to MLB.com, the Sunday matchup looks like Glavine vs. Santana. Such a shame too, I saw the Smoltz vs. Santana billboard on Cheshire Bridge, and almost salivated.

Glavine?

Glavine is going to choke? On a hotdog? That would be a hell of a pick.

3.Glavine chokes on a hotdog in the 6th. It will have had mustard, ketchup, and relish.

I'm sorry for writing what you see above.

KJ off the bench!

Clutch. This should give the bullpen some breathing room.

Speaking of KJ, why didn't he get the start today? Bobby just tinkering a little?

by PoliticalBrave on Apr 5, 2008 6:54 PM EDT   0 recs

Nevermind

Apparently his knee is still tweaked. Didn't realize it was still bothering him.

by PoliticalBrave on Apr 5, 2008 7:02 PM EDT   0 recs

kelly

HOW CLUTCH ARE YOU, KELLY JOHNSON!? Good thing he launched that because of Ring promptly allowing 2 runs. Prado's been good, but I am eagerly awaiting Kelly's hopeful return tomorrow.

pix

I was thinking those of us (uh, like me) who made pix yesterday would carry over to today?

Now todays, game? That's more like it! One swing of KJ's bat blew away all that crap lingering from the Bucs series. Any win against the Mets is one of life's true joys!
