Everybody grab a stiff drink we have yet another rookie starting pitcher toeing the mound for us today. James Parr will make his major league debut against the Nats. I do think he's a much better option that Blow-Jo Reyes, and we need to explore all the options we can at this point.
We are five games in front of the Nats, who have been on a tear lately, so this series is more about avoiding last place than anything else. Good luck.

if the nats sweep us, they’ll only have a 3 game lead, which is more than doable in the 3 and a half weeks remaining on the year. KC & pittsburgh are in a DEAD HEAT with us…pirates blew a lead today and lost, and the royals blew a 4 run lead and are in extras right now. they’re our main competition right now

Anderson Hernandez
Anderson Hernandez? He’s got two last names.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Diasagree with Joe
Just something stupid, really. He was talking about coming to the big leagues and catchers (and other players) getting all new gear, and how minor leaguers have to put up with not so good stuff. It made me think of a few things. First of all, many of the guys get the personalized bats. Cody Johnson, Tyler Flowers, Travis Jones all do, but so do Adam Coe and Michael Fisher. Those are just the bats I’ve seen for myself. Johnson, Jones, and Flowers I can understand, but I’d think the other guys – well, you know. I’d think not. I know there are a lot of minor leaguers who don’t get the good stuff, but if a guy can get an agent, he can even get nice stuff like shoes and batting gloves and whatnot. I was in Myrtle Beach when Phillip Britton got his new catcher’s gear, and it was very cool, and I got a shot this year in Rome of a catcher named Benji Johnson decked out in his new duds. And I’m thinking to myself, Benji Johnson? Anyway, it was quite an impressive little outfit. I think the minor leagues have changed a bit since Joe was there. Maybe not too much, but some.
unfortunately, the beach made the inexplicable decision to start rivas, who as expected, got absolutely shelled

Where are those Kelly haters?
He is a very good offensive player. It is a shame we’ll trade him this offseason. Is Kelly Johnson for Jonathan Sanchez a fair trade? Should we ask for more?
Is Sanchez arb. eligible? This is his third year of service. Anyway, the K/9 inning ratio is good, but you have to wonder about giving up Kelly for a pitcher that could very well go under the knife next year. I believe he has shoulder issues.

Weird stuff going down on Peachtree St. when I left work to go to the game...
Can’t find anything in the news about it, but maybe it’ll show up tomorrow. I guess this was some promotion for the new 50 story high rise they just finished next door (“93 residences starting at $1million+”)…
Classical music and rappelling ballet dancers?
