EDITED TO REFLECT TONIGHT'S LINEUP
A lineup so bad I felt like it needed its own thread. You can ALMOST gaurantee a loss with Lincecum pitching: 3-0 in his last five starts with scoreless appearances in three and a 1.05 ERA. Yeah, I think Buddy's going to have to pitch a two-hit shutout for the Braves to win this one.

That a way to have confidence in your team.

... I can tell you three people I don't have confidence in right now: Scott Thorman, Chris Woodward and Andruw Jones, and they're all playing. I'd LOVE for any of them to prove me wrong. Hell, I'd rather have Franco start than Thorman!! If you want me to continue saying why I have no confidence in this lineup, I will.
In short, I'm calling them out.

If the top three get on base consistently, I think we might be able to squeeze out some runs. The bottom three in the lineup are gonna be automatic outs basically. Although Buddy did get a hit in his last start i think.

Ya he's our best shot for some hits down there. I wouldn't be against hitting him ahead of those two. :)

Buddy didn't exactly pass the test:
5 2/3 IP, 4 R, could be two more if Moylan fails.
Good news, Moylan didn't fail. :) Go Moylan!
Maybe the Braves can actually tie the game for once.

What did I say? Carlyle needed to pitch the game of his life.
Two runs. TWO runs.
I don't blame it solely on the guys I called out, but it was a bad, bad game overall. Typical of late, actually.
