    Outside of Nelly and Vlad the Ranger line-up has been freaking pathetic. Especially Josh Hamilton.

      I tell ya, as soon as Vernon Wells hit that HR and the save was blown I knew Francisco would cough it up even more. At least both starters didn't factor in the decision though as Wilson and Romero both had tremendous games. The way Romero gave up his run made me feel bad for him but at least the Jays came back.

      It's also weird seeing Cito actually using his mound visits productively. He's known to be a manager that doesn't care much for pitchers but he's handing the staff quite well and I liked that at both times he kept the pitcher in the ballgame. That's something I haven't really seen from Cito before.

      BTW is Salty really injured? Buck Martinez said he's on the DL but I didn't see anything where he got injured in the past two days.

      Oh and about Vladdy, he's gonna have a monster season in that ballpark.

      Anyways it's off to Baltimore!

        Apparently Salty is on the DL with a stiff upper back.

          Thanks,

          Well that's a huge break for Teagarden as I hear he and Salty are more or less in an open competition for the #1 catcher job.

              If you need to start digging into the numbers to provide the context necessary to make holds meaningful, you may as well save yourself the trouble and look at superior measures right from the start.

                I should just pay for MLB.tv
                Watson, you can't get see any Braves games unless it's on SportsSouth or MLBN? I live in NC so while Time Warner won't show anything else on the channel but it does provide a live feed to watch games that are on Peachtree. For the commercial breaks it switches to the camera high above home plate which gives a beautiful panorama of the stadium.

                It's hard though...especially when I got my neighbor playing their franchise across the street...maybe I will occupy myself with Glamore Magazine.

                    Don't have MLBN. Since ST, FSN has ran a commercial saying that all non-MLBN/ESPN games will be carried from Peachtree via FSN (i'm from LA, in the Baton rouge Market). Turns out that's not true.

                    If I had money, I'd get MLB.tv, but I don't so...

                      So I'm watching the ATL/CHC game, and is it just me or does it sound like the crowd is half Cub fans?

                          Cubs fans EVERYWHERE, and Atlanta fans suck.

                            Tyler Colvin era has begun, watch as Kosuke or Soriano start to get phased out


                            Also Colvin off to a Heyward like start to his career
