Just heard that Ryne Sandberg asked to come work for the Braves so he could walk away from them, too.

Expecting a huge game from Lavarnway.

What's sad about CJ being at cleanup is that he likely deserves it in this lineup

[nsacpi]

There is nothing sad here. This team plays the game the right way.

[USMA76]

The Phillies defense is just outstanding.

Nice to see Julio pitching aggresively.

[Julio3000]

Of course this has happened. Our best hitter was out for more than a m9nth and we sold off two of our bigger contributors to offense. Not to mention we lost our closer who was having an exceptional season. This idea that the posters who said we would suck this year we're right is asinine. Sure, we lacked impact full depth as a result of the trades but the team was a 500 team when healthy and prior to trades.

Please don't start this.

Good stuff Julio! Really good job on the road. Solid fastball with great control. 2 runs, but no walks and 7 ks. Awesomesauce.

Yep, very nice to see him have a good game on the road. The zero walks in particular is extremely nice to see.

What's this "W" listed next to the team's name on the boxscore? Is it bad?

Yes. It means TJ surgery is a high likelihood...

Wait. Is it an inverted W? No?

No idea, then.
