Medlen could start the one game tie breaker vs the Nationals on Thursday and should we lose that than we have Hudson for the wildcard playoff game.
Just thinking ahead. At this point I would be tempted to go with the 4 men rotation given so many off days we will be getting. Removing Hanson. If we can cut down the lead to 3.5 games with 9 to go then we have a shot

Another comment I haven’t seem on this blog “dang…maybe next time”. Everybody gets torched here.
However, Uggla and his .214 batting average deserve much of the criticism.

Avilan probably is higher in depth chart than Venters right now. In fact in the order of importance the Bullpen should be like the following.

2. EOF
3. Avilan
4. Gerrian
5. Venters
6. Durbin

i was going to post that..hilarious. funny how fans (!) of opposing teams look at same things and come away with completely opposite conclusions. i still remember douch-o-king robert crapping all over Bobby Cox here while at the same time other teams’ fans would be cursing their managers and begging them to learn from Bobby how to make smart moves..
gotta say, as nutty this blog is sometimes, don’t remember anyone as classless here as a commentator “zaph” on nats blog that wishes injuries to all braves’ players and on other blogger there objects to it.
