This will help clear up all the Braves threads everyone wants to start today

The Dodgers head into town for a 4 game set after losing 2 of 3 in Philly. It should be an advantage for the Braves that they got a day off while the Dodgers did not and are all the way across the country, plus they had a few tiring games against the Phils. It would be real nice to take 3/4 against these guys

Pitching matchups for the series:

Tonight: Kuroda (3.65 ERA) vs Huddy (2.24 ERA)
Tomorrow: Lilly (2.77 ERA) vs (Lowe)
Sunday: Padilla (3.32 ERA) vs (Minor)
Monday: Billingsly (3.78 ERA) vs (JJ)

The starters for the last 3 games have not been announced for the Braves but I went ahead and put up who's turn in the rotation it would be

Lineup:

2B Infante
RF Heyward
SS Gonzo
C Mac
1B Glaus
LF Hinske
3B Conrad
RF Ankiel

In other news:

Brandon Hicks was called up to replace Chipper, as expected.

The Phillies are on the Road against the Mets for a 3 game set so hopefully the Mets can pull out a few W's

Game is on MLBN tonight at 6:30

Let's do this shite

How good is Hicks? Obviously he's no Chipper.

He's not very good. will be a career utility guy most likely

he has a good glove and can play multiple positions but doesn't have much of a bat

BTW, sucks about Chipper. Just hope that wasn't the last great play he'll ever make.

If Heyward's still not batting third when Prado returns I'm gonna have to take over for Bobby.

That's what I was thinking too. Look down the line up, there's no one else to put there. We use to have a SS that would slot there, but those frosty tips are up in Canada now.
