Greetings from Atlanzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Ah, nothing like playing a day game for the first game of a series during a road trip. The wakeup call in Ft. Lauderdale arrived at 4:30 a.m. Thankfully, the flight to Atlanta was not with US Airways, which meant that 1) my bag arrived!; 2) my flight arrived!; and 3) the interior of the plane didn't look as if Pigpen from the "Peanuts" cartoons had tracked through it.

But enough about the travel. We're at Turner Field and there's a game to be played. Lance Cormier is starting for the Braves. He's allowed 13 homers in 32 innings. Some of you might know a Lance Cormier start as "batting practice." If the Phils can't get something going against this guy, God help them. When you're the Cormier who makes Rheal Cormier seem like a better option, that's sad.
