&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My final NAHWAL. Parting is such sweet sorrow. But hey, these things happen...it was a good run, but its time for me to move on. I don't really know how much I'll be hanging around here anymore either...I'm ridiculously busy with &quot;real life&quot; and nearly every discussion around here results in people with thin skin making personal attacks on others, which is just uncalled for.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1) Pick to click&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2) Attendance&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3) How many walks does Medlen have?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And just for you guys, I'll even get the standings up tonight. Awwwwwwwww, how sweet.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Game tonight is on the MLB Network at 8 PM. Check it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If anyone wants to take over NAHWAL next week, shoot me an e-mail or post in here. Depending on interest, I'll run a poll tomorrow to let you guys pick who you want to run things...otherwise, its going to die, because no one seems to really care anymore. These things happen.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1) Attendance&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2) Pick to click&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3) How many hits does RYAN CHURCH have in his &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/mlb/teams/ATL&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Braves&lt;/a&gt; debut?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What a fantastic day today was...Francoeur is gone! Fantastic! I highly, highly doubt Church will be with the team this evening, so we should see him tomorrow...man, I can't believe he's gone. Awesome.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On a sadder note, I will officially be stepping down from doing NAHWAL after the game on Sunday at Colorado. If anyone wants to keep it going, please let me know by shooting me an e-mail (click my name), and I'll pass your name along to gondeee, who has all final say in the matters.&lt;/p&gt;

Hey, whatever. Apparently the Rockies have really good pitching for once...imagine that.&amp;nbsp; On a related note, looks like the NL is going to lose the All-Star Game again since Victorino was inexplicably voted in. This final vote thing is retarded, because all it does is encourage fans of teams with a player in the voting to start up some stupid campaign, and if the team is home at the time, to set up an unfair voting plan. Whatever.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To the house of horrors we go, with the wind blowing out...and I can't really write poetry, so we'll just stop there. Should-be All-Star Jair Jurrjens on the hill for ATL, while former perfect game tease &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/mlb/players/31341/Randy_Wells&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Randy Wells&lt;/a&gt; goes for the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/mlb/teams/CHC&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Cubs&lt;/a&gt;. Wells is having a shockingly good season, and I don't think its that much of a fluke...just a real late bloomer. We'll see what we can do against him this evening.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hey look at that, I'm getting this up 3 hours before gametime. Imagine that. Hope everyone had a good fourth...mine was interesting, got cut off at Chilis with a bunch of friends when only 2 of us were really drinking. Half of us each ordered 2 entrees too...that was fun. Still bummed out about my man McNair though...RIP to one of my heroes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A happy fourth to all. I expect hardly any entries today because of the lovely holiday. Remember everyone, we have a 1 PM game today, and everyone will probably be blacked out of it because of Fox's lovely regulations...in fact, all but 4 games will be blacked out nationally since Fox holds exclusive rights to all games that start before 7 PM on a Saturday. So if you're not doing anything today and are in the mood for baseball...yeah. Sorry.&lt;/p&gt;
