Milton stinks and Hennessey stinks out of the rotation. Should be a barrel of fun.
Phillips HR tonight!!
Is it just me or do others feel winning the first game of the trip would be big. SF coming off a sweep and there starters have been pitching better
w00t
Cards down 5-2 right now too :)
Hennesey 4-2, 3.62 ERA as a starter.Quote:

In his 1st AB Bonds will Tie Ernie Banks for 38th all-time on the AB's List
If he gets 2 hits, he'll tie George Sisler for 42nd all-time in hits
Also will Tie and pass Al Kaline for 14th all-time in Games played during the series
And if Jr can get 7 RBI's he'll tie Goose Goslin for 24th all time :)
The Big one, if Jr hits 3 HR's in the series he will Tie Reggie Jackson for 10th all-time
4 Hrs for Dunn to reach 200 in his Career
Id forgotten about the milestone tracker lol...duh.. its cool though.. some stuff going on behind the scenes this week.
I like this line up and I hope Griff and Dunn make their milestones. Bonds can make the games or AB's, but no offense related ones.
has Dunn been dropped to #5 because he's not a contact hitter? or am i missing something there?
Yeah. He's made all of 8 starts this season, got rocked in his last start, and pretty well stunk up the joint in 21 starts last season.Quote:

His K's are pretty much irrelevant in determining where he hits.Quote:

The answer seems to be Jerry likes Hattie at #2, and Junior has to bat #3.Quote:
