Amen, Nate.

Mark, I was picturing Nate winning the job in Spring Training. Glad you brought up Winter Ball. The Braves organization is impressed with slumpers go to winter ball. I’ve heard of them basing a decision or two on it. If Nate slumps in Gwinnett and doesn’t go to Arizona in the winter, I think his chances of winning the job in Spring go down.

Tonight’s Lineup
Prado, Heyward, Chipper, Mac, Hinske, Glaus, Gonzo, Cabrera, Hanson

Lots of interesting data points today. #1: FW not being scared of burying money by sending McLouth down (just like putting KK in the bullpen). #2: Somewhat less significant, but still good to see Bobby dropping Glaus to 6 tonight. Again, very un-Bobby like.

Bub, perhaps the most important factor you left off in the 2013 WS run is that there might very well be a new owner who surrounds all those guys with some veteran pieces to make that an even more impressive lineup. A man who is willing to be the face of a franchise and spend some extra dollars to close some of those gaps that Liberty Media refuses to address. We’ll leave his name Blank for now.

Steve, I thought the same thing on both counts. Especially #1: between Kawakami and McLouth, we have 10+ million dollars on the bench and in Gwinnett.
And #2 carries the same message: produce on this team or risk losing your place.
I honestly think the Francoeur and Kelly Johnson outcomes have guided the Escobar, McLouth, and Kawakami decisions. Maybe old dogs can be taught new tricks after all.

Huddy just signed my kid’s ball!!!! Shaking!
July 27th, 2010 at 5:58 pm
Curt, new ownership would be serious party time. Do you think the Blank possibility (great pun) is real?
July 27th, 2010 at 6:00 pm
That’s awesome, Mara. Is your kid an Auburn fan, too?
July 27th, 2010 at 6:02 pm
Diaz crushing it during BP.

Why is my print so tiny? Bub, the “war eagle” cry may have been part of pulling him away from the throngs and his zoning in on my adorable child. I have video. Nationals park=great view even from nose bleed seats.
July 27th, 2010 at 6:20 pm
Huh..now my print is normal again. My iPhone must be adjusting to the change in altitude.
July 27th, 2010 at 6:46 pm
lol, Lemke busting out the “he shall be Livan” Elton John reference on the pregame, talking about Livan Hernandez. His play-by-play is death, but I like him on the pregame.
Now, if Mazzone would just have a… voice injury.

Meadow’s fraternizing with the enemy. What kinda degree to you have to have to be the person who helps players stretch?
July 27th, 2010 at 6:57 pm
A masters degree in I’ve-Never-Met-Chipper-Jones.

Law and Order theme song playing as Ump staff is introduced. That’s just clever.
July 27th, 2010 at 7:04 pm
Strasburg SCRATCHED!!! 39 year old replacement.
DO IT BRAVES!! DO IT BIG!!!
July 27th, 2010 at 7:07 pm
#60 – “Mara” – why do you hate me.
I JUST turned on the TV – why Strasburg scratched? Wait – I’ll guess: for Nats ticket sales.
July 27th, 2010 at 7:12 pm
“Mara” you don’t really hate me, I know. Where are you sittin’ in the park?
July 27th, 2010 at 7:20 pm
So Leah, any Hooters experience and you are out
July 27th, 2010 at 7:26 pm
Ridiculous run. But I’m glad the runner’s off the paths. Tommy needs a good outing today like nobody’s business.
July 27th, 2010 at 7:26 pm
Why do the fellas perform so awfully awfully when we see the Nats? There is no answer…
July 27th, 2010 at 7:28 pm
So, I guess, one of these days, Tommy Hanson will dominate somebody.
July 27th, 2010 at 7:32 pm
Maybe Tommy needs to pitch two innings of a simultated game before each start.
July 27th, 2010 at 7:38 pm
Bub, by “simulated,” do you mean like on his X-Box?
