Are you looking forward to Interleague play in an NL Park (Starting May 29)?

Yes- Because there is more strategy, and you utilize the bench more, more of a team game

It's Memorial Day stateside so we're wearing these tonight:

The caps look decent, not a fan of the jerseys though.

Yep, and should be very doable. 24-30 would look so much better than 21-29.

If at the end of this series we are 24-30 I will be ecstatic! Really hoping they jump all over the pitching early in this game.. Burhle is due for his routine stinker inning hopefully they can overcome it.

The belief is that Lawrie is starting tonight, does anyone else think he should sit tonight or just let him play?

hoping for 2-2 split here. atlanta's a pretty good team despite feasting on weak opposition lately. not liking the matchups for wednesday and thursday, or even tonight for that matter. it's buehrle vs. a bunch of guys who swing for fences, in our joke of a stadium. 3/4 would be fantastic but i'm not banking on it

The Braves are a damn good team. I'd be glad to split.

As for tonight, Tim Hudson has dominated us over his career. Don't have many good memories of his sinkerball against the Jays.

What's sitting him going to accomplish other than making the team worse for a day?

One of the Uptons will be watching from the bench tonight. But ya, generally BJ has been a Blue Jay killer.

Anyone know if the dome is open or closed tonight?

Heyward and Upton both sitting but that's more because they both have stunk it up this year. Reed Johnson has nice splits against lefties but Jordan Schafer over BJ Upton?

9-4 Jays final. This isn't your older bro's Tim Hudson.

Jays are going streaking. 4 game sweep, Kawasaki wins each game with clutch hit in the 9th.

If the Jays wanted real camo, they should wear astro-turf green. Kinda confusing for the fans at home, but it might allow us to sneak a rover out there unbeknownst to the umpire-crew... ;)

I despise these camo uniforms, and the general premise behind it. We can thank our military without wearing camo uniforms.
