What? I really don't understand why EE isn't playing.

[Chip R]

What? I really don't understand why EE isn't playing.

More than likely, Narron feels like this is the, with apologies to Edskin, The Most Important Game Of The Season and he wants surer hands at 3rd than EE. I do not necessarily agree with it but other than a little range and a little power, we are not losing a lot.

[captainmorgan07]

im glad ross gets the start he's been hot with the bat lately and has handled the pitchers well

[Doc. Scott]

George is gonna be crushed. Not as much opportunity for those graceful diving catches at first base.

Geez, o ye of little faith - - Edmonds can gracefully dive from any position on the field.

[37red]

No matter how strong of a fan any of us are, you have to admit Edmonds is really good.

[TeamBoone]

Hey everybody... make sure you check out the "Fireleft" thread in the Redszone Pictures section. Pretty cool!

[kyred14]

Where did Felo's power go? His SLG is 100 pts lower than it was last year.

[flyer85]

I would have rather seen Freel at 3rd. RA has no business batting 2nd

[reds44]

You haven't heard?

FeLo's slugging and Griffey's OBP took the year off. They will be missed.

[Gallen5862]

Its Thundering here I will probably be on and off game thread to get the pbp. I am glad Ross is starting. I made him my fantasty starter at catcher tonight.

[edabbs44]

I have a feeling Suppan will be watching the game from the clubhouse by the 4th. This is going to be reminiscent of when they pulled off that Houston-Arizona massacre a few years back with St. Louis playing the part of the Diamondbacks.

PS: First post on the ORG...thanks to all who made it happen.
