We'll into next year with a solid core of starting pitching (Minor, Medlen, & JT), an anchor at the back end of the pen with many hopes that Avilan & Carpenter can repeat their seasons, and a solid core of offense (FF, JHey, Justin, and to some degree Simmons with the hopes that CJ hits .300...

Fire Fredi? In my opinion, Fredi is doing the best with what he's got. It takes a lot of balls to bench two veteran players making $15 mill/yr. It takes more to take one of those players and leave him off the playoff roster and replace him with a player that is best know for his Tim Kurkjian...

If nothing else, Kershaw just lost 3 to 4 K's in Game 1.

Early in the season, pitchers were afraid of giving up HR's to the Braves and rightfully so. That fear is no longer there as the threat isn't there. Yep, too many outs. At this point, why even pitch to FF? In other news, Garcia is making a push to be in the playoff rotation. Medlen, Garcia...

As Glavine once told Marcus Giles after making a crucial mistake, "if you want to be on a playoff caliber team, you damn well better start playing like it"

What was the deal on the ground ball hit to Elliot Johnson?

I wouldn't have pitched to FF

bunt over for Minor

In all fairness to Minor, he held it together and stuck to his game plan. He may take a loss, but he stayed within himself and so far hasn't let the game get away. Reminds me a lot of another lefty that pitched for Atlanta

As a team, the 2010 playoff roster hit .175

The similarity to 2010 is surreal.

There is nowhere in this line up that a pitcher can't go to get outs. You can walk the two .300 hitters and then take your pick of someone batting between .180 and .250. Call me negative, but I can't see the lineup getting hot. As bad as I hate it, we're not going to get any production for...

IMO, Uggla has hit a wall in his career in a very similar fashion as Andruw Jones did. Both went from the pinnacle of their career to a sharp drop off. I believe the lasik surgery was an effort that Uggla hoped would turn things around. I'm not sure that he actually needed it, due to the fact...

Uggla goes 0-3, with 2 K's and hit into a DP. 3 at bats, 4 outs. As I told someone earlier this week, when your season is dependent upon Uggla coming back and hitting .250 it is hard to be excited.

We'll if nothing else, the football face mask would cut out those risky head first slides

The joys of a 14 game lead. Uggla had to do something as he wasn't hurting us this much when he was a Marlin. Hopefully vision is his problem and the surgery will fix it, as you will not be able to hide his bat in a playoff game.

I'm quite positive Fredi will have a talk with everyone before the game tonight in which he will discuss the last thing that a team with a 14.5 game lead on a 12 game winning streak that is clicking on all cylinders needs is some getting suspending for fighting, if you get hit tonight, take your...

Exactly. I did think it was quite funny when JT plunked him. Honestly, it is good for JT to do so. Believe it or not, that is only the 2nd time Harper has been HBP all year. If he was on Atlanta's roster, that would put him last amongst starters. Heyward leads the team with 7, R. Johnson has...

When I think of Uggla, I think could, maybe just maybe, Texas would take him off our hands this winter?
