Goodness, I almost fell out of my chair looking at the teams' records.    I never would have thought it possible at the beginning of the year.   I know it's only May .. but to be on pace with the Cardinals?    I'll take it !!

[Minty Fresh]

Lohse huh?  I say we've got a good shot tonight if Riggs plays the A-lineup!

Is the format in the original post stretching the screen for anyone else? I am on a new computer and wanted to check if it was just me...

Yeah, same for me. The images are too wide.

Yeah, same for me. The images are too wide.

Sorry about that I'm on a big 27"  monitor, I changed the dimensions and it should be fine now.

[Lintyfresh85]

Stammen's arm angle would be Rick Peterson's nightmare.

Look how high his back elbow gets.

Thanks man, appreciate it.

[bklynnats]

I have a good feeling about this one

But I'm the one who said we'd go 6-3 in YNOT too, so... 

[Lintyfresh85]

Still can go 5-4 with a sweep.

[hammondsnats]

Still can go 5-4 with a sweep.

solid point.  i think the club knows that too and they would want nothing more to return home with a 5-4 tough road trip.

bob carpenter is going to be upset when we sweep his cards!!!

[DPMOmaha]

This game/series is bigger if we win it than it would be if we lose it.

[DPMOmaha]

Well, so much for the "A" lineup.  We'll probably win 9-2.

RF Willie Harris
SS Cristian Guzman
3B Ryan Zimmerman
1B Adam Dunn
LF Josh Willingham
C Ivan Rodriguez
2B Adam Kennedy
CF Roger Bernadina
P Craig Stammen

I think it's a "who the heck bats leadoff" thing. At least Willie gets on base.


Is it rainy in the Midwest?

[Lintyfresh85]

Not terrible.

Hopefully Willie can work a few walks out of the leadoff spot. He's a good OBP man.

[The Chief]

I hope Willie has a good game.  We need it and he definitely needs it.

[DPMOmaha]

yeah, a bit, just cloudy at the moment, but rain is possible.  Weather could be an issue tonight.

[PANatsFan]

DPM did you go to St Louis this season?

[hammondsnats]

Not terrible.

Hopefully Willie can work a few walks out of the leadoff spot. He's a good OBP man.

agreed

[DPMOmaha]

DPM did you go to St Louis this season?

sadly, no.  I need the vacation days later this summer.

[hammondsnats]

dunn scratched, still feeling effects from flu.  should be able to pinch hit tonight and get back in the line-up tomorrow.

kennedy will play 1B, no word who comes in to the line-up.

Damnit, hopefully Desmond comes in at SS and pushes Guz over to 2B
