   Thanks.

   Part 0, the Yankees, goes up at 12:30 ish.

   I think my Braves piece was a little weak. I was trying to find something to pick at but it wasn’t that easy.

      Tomorrow, I’ve been lagging, but I threw up the ones for the teams playing today, and the Phillies Marlins and Mets are tomorrow.

         roast the phillies good. Fry them.

         look at the Rusty thread for the column I posted from the philly paper. They are starting to worry.

            Beerleaguer put up it’s annual ‘day before opening game prediction post’. Their fans are all over the place. From 90 wins up to 106.
            106 wins? hahaha.

            Some threw in division predictions. One fan had the Mets at 66 wins.

               If they win 106, I am swearing off baseball forever, because that would prove that the BB Gods do not believe in justice.

   Tomorrow’s lineup:

   Jose Reye, Willie Harris, David Wright, Carlos Beltran, Angel Pagan, Ike Davis, Brad Emaus, Josh Thole and Mike Pelfrey.

   Harris batting 2nd? Pagan 5th?

   Hmmm….this would not be my choice for the lineup.

      well, I don’t agree with Terry so far, but let’s see how it works (and more importantly, how fast he changes it if it doesn’t!)

      I don’t like harris in the 2 hole. Frankly, I don’t like him in the lineup at all. And I don’t believe that Beltran should be hitting clean up. That should be Ike. And what the heck, flip thole and Emaus too, that makes zippo sense.

      I would bet that as things shake out (beltrans PT, Bay coming back, Duda usage) the line up will settle into:

      reyes/pagan/wright/davis/beltran/bay/thole/emaus.

      something has to change for game 2. pagan or thole in the 2 hole.

         I like your lineup better. I’m thinking you could probably flip Thole and Emaus but either way, this makes more sense to me.

         Since it appears it will be Duda tomorrow and not Bay, where would you have Duda in this lineup? Same place as Bay?
