Christ Fredi! Said in his post game:

"I think we only struck out 3 times or not even that"

[Russ2dollas]

The Nats started Dan Uggla and lost...........bwahhhhahhha

Braves win! How about a miracle team staying in it to the trading deadline and then more hand wringing and calling for Hart's death when we sell off all the pieces....

[Julio3000]

Thank you Julio. I thought I had missed some strange real life events.

What, you don't think Chip Caray is a dissolute cokehead?

[Julio3000]

Julio Teheran is an impressive young man.

All jokes aside, he completely ruins any excitement I have regarding this team's future.

[emk418]

Sure would be nice if Grilli pitches like this until the deadline

No doubt. He's a moron

Yea, it would be nice if he did and we got a nice return in a trade. Same goes for Johnson of course.

[weso1]

Grilli really did look good out there. Biggest question with him obviously is health.

So, about the rain delay:

Marlins president Samson said he has weather APPs on his phone. "I tried to predict cloud would go north and it went south on..stadium."

Barry Jackson @flasportsbuzz · 2h 2 hours ago
Samson said when he told Loria there would be rain delay, Loria said: "I thought we have a roof." Samson:"I said that's a reasonable answer"

Barry Jackson @flasportsbuzz · 2h 2 hours ago
Marlins don't have a meteorologist consultant. Instead, three team executives monitor weather forecasts on APPs.

What a joke.

Really he was just hoping the delay would go long enough so Juliowns couldn't start.

Criminy.

Granted, that's mindbogglingly awful, but we probably have no cause to throw stones, since Dan Uggla's medical treatment was apparently left up to junior staff with Google and WebMD.

Did I just not warn you Julio? My stomach just got patched up a few months ago and laughing hurts it and you are bad for my stomach.

I doubt he's here when we get good again....that being said I don't see anything wrong with that quote. Ya'll are nitpicking again. What's wrong with him building his team up and looking for positives?

[Heyward]

Agreed. In a down year for Atlanta, seeing Washington fail to win the division would be nice consolation.

They'll win the division by default but would be nice to see them choke in the playoffs again.

ESPN overhypes the living crap out of them.

[Heyward]

Lighten up Francis, you're starting to act like Heyward!

Ironically i've been more positive about the Braves than most/some on here.

[cajunrevenge]

We might lose the war but it just feels so satisfying to lead the Nats in the division. You never know.

[Heyward]

Good win though, not that worried about the SP for the most part.

Bullpen/offense OTOH oh boy....

How can you claim that after you agreed with Niners so much during the off-season? :)
