I just noticed in the box score that Tim Hudson is slugging 4 points higher than Yunel (.289>.285)

They should pinch hit Hudson in for Yunel sometime.
Well, huddy is a boss, he'd probably play SS better too.
Glaus would just have to get used to some sharp sinkers to first base.
Sinkers>lobs.
They would be accurate sinkers, too.
Interested to see what Atl does trade wise.
When Heyward and Chipper return, someones gotta sit and i think it'll be Escobar.
There would be no point in him coming off the bench if he can't hit so i see him getting shipped out.
WTT for reliable bullpen.
If the Braves ever got a decent bat they'd be a force. Their pitching has clearly carried them, along with a great bullpen. Some power added to the middle of the lineup to help Glaus and McCann (and Heyward when he comes back) would make them a legit WS contender IMO.
Yeah, whenever I look at the lineup I wonder how we have won so many games. Prado has been a huge part of it, he definitely deserves some MVP consideration. It's possible the front office is a little gun shy of making a huge trade after the Teixeira debacle, but who knows.
Well they are missing 2 of their best bats and the projected starting lineup has only played together 5 times all year.
Once they get healthy they'll be fine...but in the mean time they need to pick up an infielder/righty bat because the Dobbs/Castro/Valdez combo is stinkin up the lineup (save a few very clutch hits). Plus Dobbs stinks at 3rd.

Kevin Millar is awful in the booth.
Getting ready to see Lee debut for the Rangers tonight at the Ballpark. Really hope we can stop this current skid of fucking up leads against one of the worst teams in the majors. ><
Braves showing everyone how to get 7 base hits through 4 innings and zero runs. Reminds me of April.
1-2-3 DPs help
nice reverse jinx
Jesus, does Millar always scream when he's talking/doing play by play?
Infante on fire.
What I do.
and yes, that's just how Kevin Millar is. I personally find it hilarious.
