Game time: 7:05 pm
Scheduled starters: Curt Schilling (6-3, 3.80) v. Chuck James (5-6, 4.16)
The game will be on NESN and on ESPN
Atlanta weather: 2 pm observation at KATL: wind out of the east at 6 mph, visibility 10 miles, scattered clouds at 6,000 and 24,000 feet, temperature 90F, DP 65F
Forecast: It should be a warm and humid summer night with a slight chance of showers. Some of the stations around ATL are reporting buildups, so it won't be surprising if there are a couple showers or thunderstorms in the area. There's more of a chance of rain tomorrow, though, from a system that's on the TX/LA border right now.
The winds in the area are variable, but it looks like the wind will be west to southwest this evening, but at less than 10 mph. That is blowing out toward right, more toward the line than toward center.

Yay for two nationally televised games in a row.
Woot.
Woot.
Not my favorite lineup of all time.
Nice play by Crisp.
Nice double up.

Not too bright Willie Harris though. Coco made it look easy.
Sign of the apocalypse!
I gotta say, Coco Crisp home runs make me very happy.
Holy hell! Am I seeing things?
Holy Crap! Who's wearing #10 tonight? It used to be Crisp's number..... 
Bam-Bam!
Thx Coco!
Thx Coco!
That extra work with Magadan on his stance is defiently paying off.
man it would be nice if Coco started hitting like 2005

Followed by Lugo getting on base........it just might be. <checking sky for clouds>
Big game by Crisp already.
I'm calling HRs by Lugo and Schilling tonight!

I know we're all excited about Crisp, but let's not go overboard here......
So is it possible they weren't making up this whole "Dave Magadan has helped Coco make some adjustments to his swing"?
4 for his last 5, 6 for his last 11. And he's only struck out twice this month.

What is this crap? I go finally get in the shower after working out, and mah boy goes yard?
Viva la Crisp!

I really like Coco's new stance, swing, the whole enchilada. He turned on that ball with a vengeance!
If only he were a foot t-... Oh wait.
Great play by Pedroia.
How many steps is Loretta away from that ball? 8?
Schilling has absolutely nothing tonight; let's hope for some more runs.

Straight up.
I haven't seen anyhing above 87.
That ER should go to Drew that allowed him to reach 2B.

You can't blame Drew. He doesn't really know the ballpark.

Well, Atlanta was only a one-year stop on the J.D. Drew Tour De Greed.
Look at Crisp go!
This home plate umpire sucks. He's been squeezing Schilling but giving James tons of borderline calls.
We have our new shortstop!
<3 Schill
I guess Drew is still an embedded Brave....

Lugo heading for the Mendoza line.
I wonder if he'll ask for an extension again...
This sucks.
C'mon Curt!! Get your sh*t together out there.
13M my as*!
This is brutal. Schilling is a worse pitcher than Tavarez now.
He's been so erratic this year, its not even funny
Bring Snyder ASAP.

I thought he was settling into a consistent good-bad-good-bad groove for a while there.....but this is two bad outings in a row.
He is 3-5 starter material now, if he can get 13$ million from someone, god speed Curt.
Other teams can hit our mediocre pitchers, why can't we hit theirs?

Schilling has managed to look like absolute crap quite a bit this year...but even then, for the most part, he's able to minimize the damage. He's given up what, 19 hits today? And they only have 3 runs. If he can find a way to get through 6 innings only giving up one more run (or none would be nice, of course), he's left the team in decent shape.
Doesn't help his bid for a big money extension, of course. But for today, I'm not panicking.
Bye-bye, Curt.
Francoma, you are such a dork....forget about Schilling, its all about the Red Sox and not about #38
$13.00
Yes. That, of course, changes things. 3 run HR are not "minimizing the damage." Booooooooo.
This homeplate ump has not been very consistent.
But Coco Crisp is tearing it up.
