Where We Stand: Part 4 - Starting Rotation
The starting rotation could prove to be the strongest in the NL or at least prove to be strong enough to contend against the Mets’ and Phillies’ starting rotations. This all depends on the health of Hampton, Glavine, and Smoltz, although the latter two are not our biggest concerns health-wise as much at Hampton is for now. If for whatever reason Hampton cannot fulfill his duties this season, we have other options this year that could take his place and not have a complete hole in the rotation or have everything fall on Smoltz and Huddy’s shoulders yet again.

To commemorate the return of Lefty McOutsidecorner, I dug up a couple of old books Tommy wrote back in the glory days. Yeah, I had no idea he's an author either but they are selling for under $1 over at Amazon.com.

The side-winda from down-unda: Pete Moylan
Peter Moylan kicks ass. No, wait, he totally kicks ass. You want to know how much he kicks ass? He has to wear long sleeves because he has sleeves. That’s right. Not only does he look like he’d eat your face off if you look at him wrong, but he’s also got tats to make you think twice before asking him for an autograph. But, I kid; Pete’s a great guy. But he still totally kicks ass.

Ok, I didn’t make the second post yesterday. I didn’t forget; I was drawing a blank and figured I would wait until today to make it. So, here I am. I wanted to touch on this player-written article, which I think should be done more often than every once in a while. I like the idea of getting to know the player more than just watching them on TV or looking at their lines/stats for the season.

Sorry about the non-posting yesterday. I was going to in the morning hours, but I did not venture over to my classes because of my stomach feeling upset. I went straight to bed and the only thing I got up for was to eat lunch and check the game score, then went straight back to bed. So now I will make up for that or at least try to do so.

Arguably the most unusual and intriguing player on Atlanta’s roster is Matt Diaz, who has been a hitting machine for Atlanta despite a lack of tools and hype. I’ve always heard that to know where you’re going, you’ve got to know where you’ve been, so this comprehensive look at Diaz’ career will hopefully shed some light on the most overlooked player in the National League and provide some insight as to what to expect from Diaz in the future.

I know it’s hard to keep up with when the games will be aired on TV (at least for me it is), so I thought I would help myself and you readers who are like me by making a post with the schedule for reference.
