THURSDAY, 5/11 Nationals at Reds

* Finally, a team that can relate to the Nationals' logjam at second base. The Reds are so deep at the position that on any given night, the only place you'll find more guys trying to maneuver their way to second is at a high school dance. As a result, Cincinnati and Washington share an unusual strategy: Put a displaced infielder in left field. Come watch Adam Dunn and Alfonso Soriano lose fly balls in the sun--during a night game.

FRIDAY, 5/12 Dodgers at Giants

* When they met in April, the two teams scored nine runs combined in three games. Sensing another snoozefest, Barry Bonds moves his recliner to the on-deck circle.

SATURDAY, 5/13 Rockies at Astros

* Ex-Rockie Preston Wilson explains why Minute Maid Park and Coors Field are similar: "Each park produces cheap homers, high scores and three strikeouts from me per game."
