Jays look to rebound off a wasted quality start by Henderson Alvarez in HOTlanta. I'll see your "Sid Bream" and raise you a "Robbie Alomar"...

2 of 3 pls. i think we typically suck in atlanta so a series win against another good team will be more than satisfying.

Bautista outplays his contract by more than $70 million over the next four seasons (2013-2016).

Drabek gets matched up against Beachy and then Strasburg. Not promising. Although Beachy is one of those low ERA/high xFIP guys, so hopefully the Jays can do some mean reverting.

The Braves are a very good team, but regardless of what happens in this series we can always make fun of them for trading Yunel for Alex Gonzalez. They would kill for a good shortstop right now. Actually they would kill for a mediocre shortstop at this point.

We tend to suck in NL ballparks, 2 out of 3 would be fantastic.

Its good to see the Friday game on Peachtree TV, I always like to hear what the other commentators have to say about the Blue Jays. The last time Romero faced Hudson - Skip to 1:16--> http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?conte ... 3&c_id=mlb

All the games do, really. Those are some good pitchers we're facing. The Braves don't have a normal NL offense, either, they have actual hitters with power.

I've never been more sure of a loss than Drabek vs. Beachy.

I'd take 1 win if offered right now.

I disagree, Beachy's on a losing streak now. I think we can steal game 1.
