1st place Atlanta has a run differential of -12. Last place Mets have a run differential of 0. Gotta love baseball.
In fact, only 4 NL teams have a worse run differential than Atlanta.
One of the ESPN Sportscenter anchors was already trying to convince Tulo (during his interview) to take teammate Justin Morneau based on his Minnesota connections. Morneau is must see TV.
An AL team doing what Fredi should've done -- sacrifice. No reason for TLS not to sacrifice runners to 2nd-3rd with 1 out -- then you had Simmons and a pinch hitter up to try to take the lead.
