"Aaron Miles will replace Adam Kennedy at second base. La Russa said there was nothing to that move other than he wanted Miles to start a game."

Sorry, I don't get it.

I don't either... is Kennedy a starter or not?

But you know what, if we're three games in and Tony is already doing this crazy stuff, I'm just going to give up now and put my faith in the guy. He has a good track record of getting the most he can out of his bench (which apparently Kennedy is a member of), so I'll just let Tony do his thing and leave the head scratching for something else.

Looper strikes out Lo Duca twice before he singles up the middle.

Very impressive 1st inning for Looper. I hope he continues that kinda pitching.

Offense still ugly.

What is the freaking point of starting Aaron Miles? I don't know if anyone has addressed it yet, but if you sign Adam Kennedy to a three year deal to stabilize the position, WHY AREN'T YOU PLAYING HIM?

Right now Preston Wilson is thinking: "What the $(#% do I have to do?" Any warmer and that ball was gone. UGGGGGGGG.

Yeah, as soon as it jumped off the bat I yelled "GONE." Seriously, that thing was hammered.

I don't understand why hes not in the lineup. I figured we wouldn't see Miles for at least a couple more games or against the next lefthander.

Tony's probably treating this game like an afternoon "getaway day" game. With the cold weather and tightness all around him, a day off after each of the first couple games isn't going to hurt anyone.
