      Welcome back to the ATL, Mr. Heyward.

        Edwing Airlines is back in business!

        2 HRs and 5 RBI today, plus his big night last night makes me think he's ready for a hot streak.

          Turner Field looks to be about 75% Cubs fans and 25% Braves fans today. Not surprising given their records and that the Cubs always draw well in Atlanta.

            Yeah, well, the AL has been mostly underwhelming this year.

              Pretty much, I wonder what the interleague record will look like at the end of the season. At least with Estrada he's proving that last year wasn't a fluke.

                Montero has been brutal throwing runners out this year. That SB by Mallex Smith was #24 allowed vs 2 caught. Putrid, putrid numbers (7.5% CS) even if some of the Cubs pitchers aren't exactly great at holding runners (he doesn't even catch Lester!). Most of his throws are way off.

                    Isn't that just extending the streak? Any game after #4 is going to be the first team to do it if they were the first to do it in 4 games.

                      He has been bad, but Arrieta is terrible at holding runners and he's really slow to the plate. Lester is actually really good at holding runners by varying his timing and being quick to the plate.

                        Man tough call on Addison at second there. It was close but I figured the ump would call the runner out unless it was blatantly obvious that the defender missed the bag. Turns into a run after Inciarte's triple.

                          Impressive numbers from the Houston bullpen, since May 1st.

                              Readwhat I said, 1st to do it 4 straight with it being a DIFFERENT guy each game. If we have a player, any player today hit 2 HR we'd be the 1st to do it in 5 straight.
