If this is a really nagging injury, Justin may just want to rest until Friday night at Philadelphia missing the last 2 Miami games, the 3-game Mets series and have an off day Thursday. Rosters expand tomorrow with a comfortable lead, so why not? Atlanta has a 3 game lead on LA for best record, so that's a goal to still keep in mind.
Fredi's fascinating fetish for Elliot Johnson continues. How much longer will he milk that pumpkin? Enquiring minds want to know.

I am fine with resting Justin right now. Make sure he is 100% before putting him back out there. We will need him 100% in October.
Until he quits producing. Say what you want, he was one of the few (2) Braves who had a hard hit off of the marlins last night.Originally Posted by nsacpi

Let the crying continue...nothing else to complain about with them winning
Elliot is the key to our success. He isn't quite the talisman yet, but he is trending in that direction.
Does Minor realize the Marlins stink? Throw strikes!

I really want to see more of Terdoslovich!
Assume Schafer is in RF
Yes, I just fixed it.
This is the benefit of having such a big lead. Hopefully we can wrap up the #1 seed by last week of September.

Fredi thinks JUp wil return tommorow.
Thats five straight for Mac, so I guess he sits tommorow.
Hopefully we can put a couple across and Minor pitches well.
Especially with September calluses looming.
By the way don't look for any waiver deals tonight before the deadline. Frank Wren has said they've been monitoring it all week and there's nothing there. And DOB in an earlier article said the Braves made several claims including Marlon Byrd but their position in the standings didn't allow it to happen.

What's worse, Uggla swinging at an outside pitch at all, or Uggla PULLING an outside pitch for a routine double play?
Is there something else we can try to fix
Is there a shred of evidence that Uggla is seeing the ball any better?
No. He just sucks now
Yes. He isn't considering they are 6 and 6.5 out from Cincy from the 2nd WC. Btw, if you look at ESPN, they have 10 for the Nats. Just that the number is from the overall wildcard position.
Joe raving over the marlins crappy shortstop with his -2.0 war ranks among his best.
Joe also said yesterday that Furcal was the best defensive shortstop in Atlanta he's seen. Furcal has a total of 51 DRS (defensive runs saved) for his entire career. Simmons is already well past that in just over a season in the Majors. Enough said.

I thought that was weird, too. Furcal was good. Really good, even. Simmons is otherworldly.
