Open Thread 6/2: Braves vs. Phillies for the Sweep!

Derek Lowe can do lots of tricks with his baseball-shaped yo-yo.

Today's a business-fan's special at the Ted as the Braves look to extend their winning streak to 8 games at the expense of the slumping Phillies. Derek Lowe takes the hill for the Braves against Kyle Kendrick. Both guys have pitched well lately after poor starts. Given the way these lineups have been hitting lately, though, you have to like our chances.

I know there has been some talk that Bobby might throw out the B-lineup today, but he sure hasn't done that:

1) Prado, 2B
2) Heyward, RF
3) Jones, 3B
4) McCann, C
5) Glaus, 1B
6) Hinske, LF
7) Escobar, SS
8) McLouth, CF
9) Lowe, SP

The Phillies, on the other hand, are starting Ben Francisco, Wilson Valdez, Greg Dobbs, and Brian Schneider. Victorino and Ruiz get the day off.
