After avoiding most teams’ best starting pitchers recently (Dodgers and Dbacks series), it’s only fitting that we get to face Samardzija and Dempster back-to-back. Baseball has a way of balancing itself out.
nolie, I’ll pat my shoulder and say that’s exactly what I’ve been saying about Medlen in the pen since they said he’d be in there. Like you, my shoulder often hurts from all the patting.
Dan Uggla carries his juicer with him wherever he goes. OJ in the morning gives you a little pep in your step. On the road, prune juice helps keep the line moving.

Still remember Kerry Wood sticking it to the Braves in the playoffs.
