    WWW

    Atlanta has a pitcher friendly park. We have a better lineup than them. We could very well sweep the Braves. i'm not worried about Roy or Andy. I just want Redding to have a quality start and give the guys a chance to win. I wonder what we'd be saying about him though if he had Robertson's run support......

    Wow, how does Ramirez have an 0-3 record with a 2.43 ERA?

    One of the games he lost, Atlanta commited 7 :eek: errors and he gave up 8 unearned runs. Even though he pitched 3 1/3 innings and lost the game his ERA went down.

    Out on a limb here, Redding will go 6 allowing 1 run.

    i think he will pitch a gem against the hated braves, and everyone will jump back on the bandwagon....what a solid number 5 guy redding is, hes got great stuff, he got the least run support last year....ect...

    WWW, the Braves are one banged up team.

    Chipper Jones, Eli Marrero, Rafeal Furcal, J.D. Drew, and Marcus Giles missed yesterdays game. The latter three are day to day though. I for one have no sympathy. Lets sweep em while they're down and then get ready for the biggest test so far when the Marlins come to town next week.

    i've lost my sanity as well with WWW

    although if redding is awful this start for CHRIST SAKE, take him out of the damn rotation , enough already.

    with that said, here's to a win tonight! :) (hopefully)

    My Prediction for Redding: 2 2/3 IP, 16 ER, 37 Hits

    The guy blows people, conform to it.

    Timmy with only 36 pitches through 3 innings. Pretty darn efficient for him. *knock on wood*

    Was it ruled a triple or a double and 3rd base on a fielder's choice??

    Anyway, Berkman singles in Kent for a 3-0 lead.

    Its amazing, the first time through the order, the Astros look bad, and then the 2nd time around, they start pounding the pitcher.

    Redding is pitching really well tonight. He made the one mistake to JD Drew, but other than that his stuff has been great.
    3-1 Astros after four.

    What a stupid umpire. :mad:

    Now if Redding plunks someone else, he is out of the game.

    Dumb. It was a freakin curve ball.
