Chad Billingsley 8-4, 3.48 ERA	Jason Bergmann 2-5, 4.56 ERA

(SS) Rafael Furcal (CF) Juan Pierre (RF) Matt Kemp (2B) Jeff Kent (LF) Andre Ethier (SC) Russell Martin (1B) James Loney (3B) Ramon Martinez (SP) Chad Billingsley	Felipe Lopez (SS) Nook Logan (CF) Ryan Zimmerman (3B) Dmitri Young (1B) Austin Kearns (RF) Wily Mo Pena (LF) Ronnie Belliard (2B) Brian Schneider (SC) Jason Bergmann (SP)

_______________________________________ ______________

With John Lannan shutdown as a starter, it means Bergmann will get the start. He has been on the disabled list for almost a month because of tightness in his left hamstring. In Bergmann's last rehab start on Thursday for Triple-A Columbus, he tossed seven scoreless innings and gave up six hits against Louisville. He struck out nine batters in the game.

Billingsley snapped a month-long four-game losing streak in Philadelphia. He scattered four hits over seven innings and was charged with only one run, striking out seven. He said he had better command than in recent games, and he was economical with his pitch count (93). Billingsley won his only start against Washington in his career, allowing one run in six innings.

I have descended from the heavens and decreed that today's game shall end in a curly W for the visiting team because his holiness the myself hath posted this threadeth. So sayeth the Chief, meaning me. Ah-men-ayyyyy.

Did anyone catch the O's meltdown tonight? They were up 6-3 going into the 8th inning against the D-Rays. Well their bullpen did what they usually do, choke the game away and even more. The score is now 14-6 Tampa.

O's bullpen during the 8th inning (4 different relievers): 1 IP 9 H 11 R 11 ER 3 BB 2 SO

Billingsley is going to kick our ass I have a feeling.. Our hitters have to be patient if they want to succeed.

Shutout for Bergmann...that's my feeling

At least Billingsley's never faced us before.

nice..good job, Felipe. Anyone getting on w/ Zimmerman coming up is GREAT!

ronnynat · « **Reply #13:** August 28, 2007, 10:15:14 PM »

That's an odd fastball. Looks like it's going to move, then it stays straight.

DAMN!

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #15:** August 28, 2007, 10:15:42 PM »

damn, good opposite field swing by Ryan.

I don't like this ballpark at all. Might be my least favorite of them all.

Dmitri doubles home Felipe!! Very nice!

Florida just won on a walk-off Sac Fly.. Atlanta is trash

wow..that could have been worse

The way Austin's been swinging, it's good it hit him. BTW, it got his shirt, that really is cheap.

PC · « **Reply #23:** August 28, 2007, 10:20:22 PM »

Don't swing at the first pitch, Ryan!

Damn...Wily Mo's out. That sucks
