Open Thread 4/18: Braves at Dodgers

A four-game series in sunny Los Angeles kicks off as the Braves take on the Dodgers at Chavez Ravine. If you're a Braves fan and plan on attending the game in-person tonight, I would fully recommend pepper spray and a crow bar (F. Freeman should have one available). It'll be Tim Hudson against Ted Lilly on the mound.

After being ridiculed for many weeks, Fredi Gonzalez has finally moved Jason Heyward up in the lineup to hit second. It remains to be seen if this'll be a permanent move, but we can only hope. Freddie Freeman, who is on a nice 7-game hitting streak, also moved up in the batting order.

Prado - LF
Heyward - RF
Jones - 3B
McCann - C
Uggla - 2B
Freeman - 1B
Gonzalez - SS
McLouth - SS
Hudson - P

Best lineup of the year. Without any doubt at all.

First pitch is at 10:10EST. Only true Braves fans stay up late on the east coast to support their team. Grab a beer or a coffee and enjoy the game!

Go Braves!
