Washington Nationals at Atlanta Braves, Aug 11, 2009 7:10 PM EDT


Tommy Hanson takes the mound for the Braves against the Nationals ace, Jon Lannan. There were a lot of lineup changes, but in the end it should be Nate McLouth out, Ryan Church in, Kelly Johnson out, Chipper Jones in, with Omar Infante back in the lineup at second.

I'm sorry,

but I think keeping Adam LaRoche out of the lineup is not wise. He is not a platoon first baseman. He is a quality, starting first baseman with good power and he should be playing everyday. I don’t care if the pitcher IS LH.

Tigers love pepper; they hate cinnamon.

by Jareth Cutestory on Aug 11, 2009 6:44 PM EDT reply actions  

You may be right. And although we are facing a left handed pitcher, I still kinda wish Kelly was in the lineup. He’s really starting to turn it on.

by pancanbra on Aug 11, 2009 6:46 PM EDT up reply actions  

I partially agree.

It’s good to see O back in the lineup, and of course, Marteeen is a hittin’ fool this year. But Kelly is more dangerous, and he actually hits lefties better than righties. Why that never earns a spot from Bobby is beyond me.

Tigers love pepper; they hate cinnamon.

by Jareth Cutestory on Aug 11, 2009 6:48 PM EDT up reply actions  

Yeah, but now that Omar is back, the other half of the Prado/Infante puzzle is complete. The two of them are a riot. And Prado credits Infante for helping him.

Yeah,

a 2-run homer that sparked a wonderful comeback, extra-inning victory and a game winning, 10th inning homer pretty much signifies that he’s BACK, and worthy of a regular spot on this team.

MLB can suck one for their stupid lens rule, so giving them more money is not in my budget. I’m fine with the places that are already available during BP. But I’m sure it’s fun if you’ve got the means.

Lens rule?

you ARE allowed to take pictures and such on the field. I had a digital camera, not sure if that falls under the lens rule.

Wow, ok with the CAPS, man! Sorry if you didn’t think the Cute-guy joke was funny, but couldn’t think of your whole name at the moment. Thought it was, ah, kinda cute myself.

Anyway, I’m aware you’re allowed to take pictures on the field…I’ve taken one or two (thousand) myself. What I’m referencing is the general rule that lenses longer than 5" are banned in every MLB ballpark…and I just got one (300mm) at the end of last season. Been wanting one for years, finally got it, and they come up with that dumbass rule. Talked to a security supervisor friend at the Ted and he says it’s b/c MLB doesn’t want anyone else making money off something they easily could. No other reason for the rule. Some parks enforce it less, some employees police it more than others.
Eh. That’s all I was talking about.

I’m of two minds about this. On one hand, it’s a 5 run lead, save the bullpen since Tommy is hardly laboring.

How many Ks for Hanson tonight?

If Dunn walks 30 fewer times, he'll drive in 15 more runs. This is thanks to the scientifically proven formula: RBI = (this is nonsense) (I made it all up).

Here's a stat: Wins as manager: Dusty Baker, 1,162; Bill James, 0.

She was just talking about that it’s sad that the most likely cause of death for 18-24 year old black men is homicide. Nothing racist about that fact…it’s just the sad truth.

I wonder how Buster Olney will grovel.

I wonder if Buster will shlep away from his “The Phillies are too far ahead in the NL East for the Braves to make a run” comment.

Public enemies had so much potential. The acting and action was good, but the story just goes down hill in the 2nd half. It went from a great gangster film to a typical summer action flick.
