Milton stinks and Hennessey stinks out of the rotation. Should be a barrel of fun.

Hennesey 4-2, 3.62 ERA as a starter.

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.

Phillips HR tonight!!

flyer85 · 08-24-2006, 09:12 PM

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

I'm with you. Winning game one would be huge, especially w/Milton on the mound. He's pitched a decent number of quality starts for us this year, but something always seems to go wrong when he pitches.

w00t

Cards down 5-2 right now too

GridironGrace · 08-24-2006, 09:30 PM

OK.. fishing around a bit b4 the game and found out some milestones will be met 2nite.

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.

redsmetz · 08-24-2006, 09:33 PM

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.

Ravenlord · 08-24-2006, 09:35 PM

has Dunn been dropped to #5 because he's not a contact hitter? or am i missing something there?

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

I cant say I disagree about the former, and with him starting to heat up, the latter. Edwin should bat 4th, so that leaves 5th. Not a demotion by any means, just a potent lineup.

GridironGrace · 08-24-2006, 09:35 PM

K's too much to bat higher.. besides.. this lineup has worked... should leave it alone.
