It's Been Awhile: NLCS Game 1

Ok so I'm shaking the dust of this thing and it's been a long time since I've been around, so onward we go.... Tonite we got Game 1 of the NLCS (8:37pm on TBS), Rockies/D'Backs. The starters are Francis vs. Webb. One of the premeir pitchers against a very underrated one (IMO). Francis looked like vintage Glavine in Game 1 of the NLDS against Philly, continually pounding the zone with first pitch strikes and stayed ahead of alot of the hitters and we all know about what Webb can do, the groundball machine. This series should be very good, two very evenly matched teams who are setting the world on fire right now. The Rocks have Willy Taveres, who is going to start apparently in center, coming back from a quad injury. Series should go deep 6 or 7 games. Rocks in 7, maybe?

Other News:

• Rather shocking news from Atlanta, John Schuerholz is leaving his post as GM and will become the new Braves President. Assistant GM Frank Wren will take over full-time for JS. With new ownership who's willing to spend $$$ and increase payroll, as a Braves fan, I feel pretty good about this.
