Coffey had been thinking, who's going to go when Belisle is ready?
but today he's thinking, dang we need a righty bat and this bullpen isn't getting a lot of work...

I was disappointed that I would miss the game because of work today.
Then I saw that lineup......ugh.
:arroyo: will need to be on his game today.

I think there's more angst at his lineup slot than the fact he's playing. Everyone knew he was going to get a start sometime. They just hoped he'd be hitting 8th when it happened.
I'm not particularly worried about the lineup. A little by the book, but whatever.

Dusty on today's lineup.
On the lineup: "(Juan) Castro hadn't played yet. (Norris) Hopper hadn't started yet. (Cole) Hamels today is especially tough on big swingers. We tried to find more speed and defense."
It's 12:27pm, and I'm hearing Bronson on the radio busting out with "We're together again!" in the infamous JTM commercial.

Rollins homers to start the game. Barely made it out per Marty.

That didn't take long. Jimmy Rollins hits a leadoff HR.
Victorino flies out to Freel. One away and Freel doesn't injure anyone making the catch.

I think they will crush today.

Arroyo had him struck out on the 2-2 count, but did not get the call. Great pitch but.....
