why is franklin out there?

[nwbearcat]

Now thats the Albert we know and love!

[Cronos]

I wouldn't even use Franklin now, not with a 5-run lead - let McClellan finish the game and save Franklin for the afternoon game tomorrow.

Didn't pitch Sunday, did he?

Unless he somehow throws 20+ pitches, I don't see why he can't pitch tonight and tomorrow.

Pujols just tied the NL record for grand slams in a season with 5. Tee-hee.
