Another very important game to watch tonight:

Milwaukee's Jordan Lyles versus Anibal Sanchez in Washington, D.C.

[msstate7]

This thread was needed... somehow, some way, the research put into this thread will lead to a much needed win. Duvall comes up with a huge play to win it... may be defense though... magic 8-ball wasn't specific

[nsacpi]

expecting a yuge game from Hechavarria

[jpx7]

You love to see it.

[nsacpi]

the elegance of this GDT is to be admired

[nsacpi]

if the Braves lose tonight it will not be due to a deficient GDT

[CyYoung31]

Folty, who has given up 18 homeruns in just 70 IP this year, is going up against the Dodgers who have hit 22 homeruns in the last 5 games (a MLB record).

Should be a great, highly competitive matchup.

It will be due to your deficiency as a poster.

[CyYoung31]

Seeing that 1995 championship listed in the OP really gets my blood pumping.

Take that Dodgers!

Take that Dodgers!

We've won a title more recently that they have! Dodgers can suck it!

[Freshmaker]

Yaaaaaaaasssssss

[msstate7]

Yaaaaaaaasssssss

So does that mean both could be activated on assignments by the end of the month or back in Atlanta by the end of the month?

highly inappropriate personal attack

[UNCBlue012]

A win tonight would be yuge. The Phillies and Nats are playing good ball

[Freshmaker]

So does that mean both could be activated on assignments by the end of the month or back in Atlanta by the end of the month?

Back in the ATL baby!

[Freshmaker]

highly inappropriate personal attack

does this violate the cease fire

[The Chosen One]

So does that mean both could be activated on assignments by the end of the month or back in Atlanta by the end of the month?

The last thing we need is Swanson coming back just healthy enough and then Snitker playing him everyday out of desperation and then him getting hurt again.

[msstate7]

Anyone been keeping up with how many starts waters and pache get in cf? Is waters starting back-to-back days in cf significant?

[Jaw]

I think Cy just violated the détente. Harsh penalties are in order.
