Narron bats Aurilia 2nd becuase he's performed best when he's in front of "people chasing dead guys" (Home Run record).... sigh... All he's basing that off of is one good season batting in front of Bonds

[KronoRed]

He said that?

Oh lord

[Puffy]

Hatteburg should never be batting in front of Kearns, even in meaningless spring training games. Hatteburg should not be more than a utility player to begin with, but I digress.

[reds44]

Anybody else that EE has gotten too much PT this ST?

[BRM]

I'd rather see Aurilia hitting 2nd than Womack leading off.

[Doc. Scott]

Aurilia batting second is a great way to pile up some double plays, given that Rich runs like a severely constipated construction worker.

[Blimpie]

Austin should see LOTS of good pitches today with the Love Machine protecting him in the order.....

I'd rather see Aurilia hitting 2nd than Womack leading off.

That's like opting for the chicken pox over the measles.

German measles, or the common garden variety?

Not really, after you have chicken pox once, you never get it again.

I didn't say I liked the choice. It's just the lesser of two evils in my opinion.

[Blimpie]

So you're saying, if we bat Rich # 2 tonight....then we won't see that lineup again? Ever?

Count me in brother.

[SeeinRed]

I would say its more like choosing to be kicked in the head repetedly or kicked in the privates repetedly... I, for one, choose death!

[NastyBoy]

Is this Pittsburghs opening day lineup?

[Blimpie]

German measles, or the common garden variety?

For some odd reason, I just thought about the distinguishing characteristics between African and European Swallows.
