Its Men-K-Vich's first start ever at 3b in the majors. I'm hoping Bixler has a nice game,I don't want to see Rivas again before Jack is back

Well let's hope that Men-K-Vich gives us a professional approach.  I don't mind Rivas as a fill-in, and maybe with more practice he can do better, but I don't want to see him start until at leats June.  LOL

A win tonight would give us a series win and some momentum.  At least Matt Morris doesn't start this series.

I think reguardless of how he plays that as soon as JW is back Bixler is back in AAA with Rivas being used in pinch hitting and as the 2nd infielder off the bench

[81omar]

  Unless theres another infield injury Bixler is definitely gone but while he's here he should be playing so they see what we have in him and get him some good experience

Bixler looks completely clueless at the plate, although he did get his first hit.  Doug M actually looked fine at 3rd.  He might get a lot of starts there and at 1st with Bautista and LaRoche stinking it up so badly.
