[DaneHill]

He's at his best with that one.

[thethe]

Deja vu

[jsebe10]

I feel bad for STRuggla tonight. Lee is going to carve that poor bastard like a thanksgiving turkey.

[zitothebrave]

Uggla is gonna get hot.

[CyYoung31]

Uggla is gonna get hot.

Perv.

[bravesnumberone]

Uggla is going to hit a home run, but he's going to do it in a meaningless situation.

[Hulavol]

I believe in Dan Uggla, and I am glad he has waited until now to get hot. By October he will be scorching, batting 4th, and getting pitched around!

[Julio3000]

I am almost willing to guarantee that Dan Uggla will hit at least one more major league home run.

[thethe]

Will his eyes be open when he does it?

[TDlxANDER]

Lol at Joe taking BJ to task there...

[cajunrevenge]

Nats already down 3 vs Jose Fernandez. Their meltdown gamethread is priceless.

[thethe]

LOL at Keith Law.

No Power. Wow.

[thethe]

Will Tron hit 30 homeruns one year in his career? Probably not but who thought a year ago it was even possible?

[stpeteirish]

nice rip Andy.

[zitothebrave]

Minor got his one run, now he has to hold it

[jsebe10]

Justin 3 for his last 17 with 9 ks

[anthmilliu]

can i get a link or url to the nationals board. I'm not sure which one has the most traffic and want to see the continued meltdown

[zitothebrave]

Wowzers what an inning for Minor

[thethe]

Wowzers what an inning for Minor

Its awesome watching him go against Lee. You could really see Minor following that path. I know its tough to give pitchers long term deals but Minor is a big time candidate for it in my opinion. I think a 5-6 year 80 million dollar deal would work out real well for the Braves.

My personal favorite is the guy who called for Haren to be pulled after the first base runner in the first inning.

[thethe]

Gattis put a good swing on it. Still am not a fan of how often he swings at the first pitch. He isn't as good as Freeman so he should be more patient.

I'd do 5-6 years, 65-70 million.

Or at least talk about one with him.

[TDlxANDER]

My heavens at that blonde behind home plate.

[Heyward]

5-0 Marlins, with Jose Fernandez on the hill.

[thethe]

Wow, what an awful call.

[zitothebrave]

Wow, what an awful call.

Yeah Minor wasn't getting calls on the black.

[thethe]

Great play Justin.

[thethe]

The rotation for the first series looks solid now. Minor/Tehearn/Medlen is damn good. Hopefully Wood can bounce back and show he deserves to be in the mix for round 2.

[Gary82]

The home runs are nice, but he has a lot to work on offensively. I'll gladly take less homers if he improves his approach.

[jsebe10]

Tried to pull another outside pitch....

[thethe]

Bethancourt singles in the first inning of the Miss playoff game and LaStella drives him in with a double.

LaStella better be up here after the playoffs. Need to see if he is a better option than owl come postseason time.

[Yogi44]

My heavens at that blonde behind home plate.
Noticed that myself.

Lol you really need convincing? ANYTHING is an upgrade from Sir STRuggs

[jsebe10]

Man why would you waste such a good AB swinging at a terrible pitch like that?

[thethe]

Damn, that isn't fun.

[zitothebrave]

Ahhhh shart

[zitothebrave]

Sad that 2 runs is enough for us to lose.

[weso1]

Well that sux. Pitching so well and just like that there goes the lead.

[Heyward]

That one hurt...

It's ok. Dan is due up here...

[Heyward]

One of those pitchers duels.

Lee is dealing, one swing won it, oh well, that's baseball.

[Garmel]

Sit down, Uggla.

[jsebe10]

Boy, sure gave em hell that inning.

[jsebe10]

Folks, Dan is 4 for his last 30....how much longer can they still run him out there?!?

[zitothebrave]

Ok its rallytime mother****ers

[The Chosen One]

That was just a really good play.

[NinersSBChamps]

Folks, Dan is 4 for his last 30....how much longer can they still run him out there?!?

Two more years?

[zitothebrave]

Alright Gattis time to get some May magic going!!

[thethe]

That 3-0 pitch was boderline. Sucks he didn't come through.

[zitothebrave]

Shame that Minor couldn't get an ounce of run support. Well we just have to go out and win tomorrow.

Everything we hit out there tonight just died...of course when that little pecker head Asche hits one, it carries right on outta here.

[stpeteirish]

3 hits tonight, ugh. Fortunately Nats and Dodgers losing.

[NinersSBChamps]

Come on Reds.

[The Chosen One]

Nats losing by 6, we lossed by 1.

Makes it a +5 game pick up for them in the standings if the scores hold up.

[Heyward]

3 hits tonight, ugh. Fortunately Nats and Dodgers losing.

Lee was on his game, not much to do.

Winning in that park scoring 1 run is tough...

[Heyward]

Nats lose.

Down to 9...

1st place problems.
