Game 80, Braves At Mariners
Pineda vs Hanson, 7:10 pm.
Since comments are off for now, this is more of a game preview than a game thread, I guess. But, look, I just don’t have the time or the desire to spend time cleaning up things like people wishing Chone Figgins would kill himself – yes, that’s an actual comment from yesterday. Derek, Jason, and I started this blog as an outlet for ourselves to share our thoughts on the franchise, and I just don’t have a desire to let it become an outlet for the immature and ignorant. If I can figure out a way to have comments on the site that reflect that at least a little bit of thought went into it, we’ll bring them back. But, if they do come back, know that you guys need to do better. The status quo recently just isn’t acceptable.
Jack Cust makes his return to the line-up tonight, but due to his struggles, he’s hitting 8th. Wedge might as well be drawing names out of a hat at this point.
