[The Chosen One]

Expecting a huge game from Uggla.

[Hawk]

I have Garcia starting for my fantasy team today. I figured, why not?

Hope the reverse jinx works.

[VirginiaBrave]

If the Marlins hadn't lost Fernandez I would put money on them to win the East. So starting a fantasy pitcher against your team is nothing.

[NinersSBChamps]

Just checking in real quick. Apparently counting is very difficult.

We have a 3 game losing streak. Not hard to count that.

Would he make the fish hit better on the road or something? They are a decent team but have played over their heads to this point.

So far so good Justin squared his up too. It's up to Gavin to do his thing.

You're right, but here's the thing as bad as it has been for them they are only a half out. Every team in the division is flawed and it has played into their hands.

[USMA76]

Two on, nobody out in the bottom of the first. With the way we've been playing it's hard not to get into a "here we go again" mentality.

[Julio3000]

This is the Wong way to start.

[VirginiaBrave]

Need Glavine mentality don't give in no matter what...it worked there.

[The Chosen One]

Cardinals doing their best Bravos imitation. Get runners on with no outs, strike out twice and fly out.

Glavine Floyd.

[The Chosen One]

Glavine Floyd.

[VirginiaBrave]

Glavine Floyd.

That's good...

True. I just think the braves are playing below their talent level and the fish above theirs. By the end of the year both should level off normally and we will see that in the standings.

[The Chosen One]

Uggla's new warning track power is shallow left.
