More Chacon?
We have to endure yet another Shawn Chacon start tonight, as he takes his crooked hat to the mound against Oscar Villareal. I'm almost positive that I heard one of the Pirates TV guys refer to Villareal as the Braves #2 starter this year, but I'm going to hope that I wasn't paying attention and they actually said "Villareal will be making his second start of the year" because the alternative is just incredibly embarassing. He made a decent start in his first start of the year against the Nats, but his numbers from his time in the pen don't really match that gaudy 9-1 record (ERA- 4.13, WHIP- 1.36, only 40 strikeouts in 60 innings, etc.). I mean, he's no John Smoltz or anything, so we should probably get an extra base hit or two and maybe score a run tonight. Maybe not, I haven't seen tonight's lineup yet so anything is possible.
