I kinda like that lineup and batting order. Most of those guys have a chance to grow with us. -- No Diaz or Overbay tonight. It's time to shine-- go Bucs

Fastest outfield in the majors?

Are the Bucs wearing the throwbacks tonight? I sure hope. I'm going to the game.

One thing-- Wood, Mchenry, Paul, and Harrison have all gotten a fair and good look to try to prove themselves with some mixed results. we need our catchers and Alverez back playing.

This would be one of the great throwback uniform games in baseball! I hope they break them out for at least one of the games.

I bet it is! Probably in all of baseball, not just the majors.

Forget scoring runs, let's challenge the other teams to an "outfield relay"

The yellow uniform with the black pillbox cap is a classic.

Nice starts, and let's grab the lead for once.. win this one, if it's just for the uniforms

That's the way to start! Get 'em on, get 'em home!

These unis should be there Sunday uni's all season. Much like how the NFL allows teams to wear other previous incarnations of their uniforms. 8-)

I wouldn't mind it if they made them an alternate with the black top, which, BTW, I don't much care for.

I think the black one sucks. Hope I don't offend anyone. 8-)

Are they doing anything for the 1979 series tomorrow? I liked it when they wore the yellows last year (I think it was last year).

They wanna wear a black one, wear the V neck one form the disco days. 8-)

James McDonald is a BUM! Im glad Hurdle took him out of the game before he could go 5 innings and attempt to get a win. It seems his conditioning is a question because he went 2 innings perfectly and then struggled the rest of the way. I dont know if its fatigue from the weather or his conditioning, but something has to change or else I want to see Lincoln take his spot in the rotation.

104 pitches in 4.2 innings is not very good.

McDonald needs to get his shit together. Way too many of these horrible, nibbling, massive pitch efforts that blow the bullpen.

I wouldn't mind a couple more runs.
