    Its not that teams lose its that they lose in maddening fashion. Clemens looking off target, Ensberg having a ball go off his glove, Palmeiro mistiming a slide...

    I guess this means it's a 3 man rotation.

    I don't get this move at all. This probably means that Wandy will start game 4, so why is Zeke off the roster? We don't have any capable long relievers

    According to the announcers, Garner wanted to get Backe in the game from the get-go at some time during the game. Apparently it was his day to "side throw" anyway.. whatever that means. :confused:

    a lot of ours guys should really hit a weight room or get on the barry bonds workout plan. i'm tired of warning track power (and i don't care if the wind is blowing in or turner field is tough to hit them in).

    Man, I hate Chipper Jones.

    I feel sick. Having flashbacks to the 90s...
