If BJ ever got back to where he was before this year how awesome would it be to have Schafer/BJ hitting 1-2 in the lineup both capable of stealing 40+ bases.

[sentenza]

That was a wild one.

Jason Schmidt was starting!
Bret Clontz, Mike Bielecki, Greg McMichael (W) und Pedro Bordon were relievers

HRs by Javy Lopez and 2 diggers by Ryan Klesko!

Later Braves - Chris Hammond and Jay Powell were pitching for the Marlins

At times it seems like Schafer can steal at will.

He has to be one of the fastest players in the league.

If BJ is hitting, Schafer is a 4th OFer.

If BJ is hitting, Schafer is a 4th OFer.

That might not happen till next year.

Greg McMichael was a favorite of mine coming up through the minors.

[Braves1976]

True. Plus both wouldn't be starting with a healthy Heyward either.

[Braves1976]

Maholm needed that quick inning, hopefully that means no Loe today.

[Garmel]

That might not happen till next year.

Exactly. Whoever is the hottest should man CF during the postseason

[Gary82]

You mean, whomever sucks the least should man CF during the postseason.

[Garmel]

You mean, whomever sucks the least should man CF during the postseason.

Yeah, you have a point there.

[Braves1976]

The Mississippi Braves are winning 5-4 in a must-win situation for their playoff hopes today. The good news is Mobile is winning 5-0 (though currently in a rain delay). So if Mississippi can win they should make the playoffs.

[thethe]

Uggla is absolutely dreadful. Lets see if BJ can be less awful at second base.

[Garmel]

Uggla can't seem to get into a rhythm.

[Braves1976]

Uggla the rally killer does it again. He so so bad in those situations. Wow.

[thethe]

I heart Simmons. Going to be an MVP candidate one day. He can hit.

[Braves1976]

Way to go Simmons!

[sentenza]

Boom!!!
Nice double by Simmons!
2 more runs!

[Gary82]

The crazy thing is he doesn't have to hit much to be an MVP candidate. Some say he's one already, and I think he's our team MVP.

Hard to disagree. I think its Freeman but he is right there for sure.

BTW, did Mitch Williams really say that?
