Seattle Mariners at Atlanta Braves, Jun 21, 2008 7:10 PM EDT
Well the only positive thing I have to say here is that Jarrod Washburn is pitching for the M's and he has been horrible. So thats good. Jair Jurrjens is throwing for us and he has been great. So we'll see how that pans out.

Two outcomes
- Washburn will pitch as if he were Felix Hernandez
- We annihilate the Mariners with the worst lineup ever, and we’re left scratching our heads.

192 men on base
is only an estimate. Since it only counts as an LOB when the third out is recorded, there are instances where Francoeur did not end the inning. 192 is batters he didn’t drive in, not necessarily strand at inning’s end.

That's why I'm serious
About bringing derogatory signs to games, hoping that he’ll see them. He seems to respond well to adversity, and it almost feels like he’s taking his job for granted. If he can’t get his pea-brain around the fact that his future salary reflects on his present play, then he’s in a world of disappointment when arbitration time comes around again.

Frank Wren
Decided to cut all the current roster, starting with Hampton, Smoltz, Chipper, and Glavine in order to free up some money, and then uncermoniously called up half of Richmond, and a third of Mississippi. But unlike the Baby Braves of 2005, this team kinda sucks.

No, I agree
I think players become more personable and likeable if they can pass for an American citizen. Albert Pujols has a heavy Dominican accident, but he still speaks comprehensive English, and one guy who surprised me was Jorge Campillo, when he did a post-game. At least Escobar is learning still, and when I met him at RFK, he was polite about it, and my father speaks fluent Spanish.

Ichiro is a loner
During BP yesterday, Ichiro was all by himself in RF, shagging balls. For a guy whose the franchise player, I’d imagine he’d have more friends or something, but for him, it doesn’t surprise me.
Which is strange, because when the Dodgers were in town, Chan Ho Park (Korea), Takashi Saito (Japan), and Tsao Chin-Hui (Taiwan) were all joking and speaking together, no problem. There is an unspoken rivalry between lots of Asian players, kind of how like Puerto Rican players don’t get along with Cuban players, etc…
Ichiro’s just a prick, I take it then.

Message to Joe:
“Suzuki is a common name, and when Ohgi-kantoku took over as manager of the team in 1994, he assigned an unknown kid his first name on the back of his uniform: Ichiro. This was done under the guise of ‘fan service,’ to promote more interest in the team … Ichiro became a household name that year, as he became the first player to break the 200-hit barrier in Japanese baseball history.”

I want a new Braves cap...
I have a 59Fifty, but I don’t really like they way it looks on my melon. I’ve had the blue franchise cap for about 5 years now, and it is my default and really about the only hat I really like to wear, period. But I hate that there are so many douchebags that wear that hat that it has the same feel as the Red Sox franchise cap. I kind of like this one. Any advice?

The fashion hats.
Yes, I know exactly what you are talking about. I see a good number of Atlanta fashion hats here. In fact, I think we have the largest selection of fashion hats among all teams. Surprisingly, there are quite a few Phillies and Reds fashion hats here in the Magic City.
