Joe Thurston made an immediate impact as he returned to the line-up following his roller coaster "call-up" and "designated for assignment" ordeal last week. Joe went 3-4, with a double and 2 RBI. Recent Reading call-ups Javon Moran and Matt Padgett also figured into the action with Javon going 2-4 with a double and Padgett hitting his first homer in a Lynx uni.
Confirmation about A.J. Burnett has now come from the Lynx; A.J.'s scheduled to start on Monday, August 6. We've got our fingers crossed that the weather forecast will change. The Lynx just missed out on a Gustavo Chacin appearance as he threw last night in a 7-4 loss (boxscore, play-by-play) to the Rochester Red Wings. This whole Burnett appearance is a tricky bit of PR for the Lynx front office - how do you hype the other team's star pitcher to your fans?

How's the atmosphere at a Lynx game anyways? I've lived in ottawa for a year or so and never been there. This A.J. start sounds like a good time, maybe I'll try and get out there.
It's a great atmosphere... very good ballpark setting, the Lynx gameday staff do a good job creating an inviting environment and for $9 a seat, there's no better bang for the buck in Ottawa, with the possible exception of the $20 season ticket package for the Gee-Gees.
Alright you sold me, plus any opportunity to boo Burnett without feeling guilty about it is an opportunity I can't pass up.
P.S. Go Ravens
