Wow, Beane has to be the best GM in baseball. Best record in baseball by a mile with Scott Kazmir and Jesse Chavez as key members of the rotation. Now Beane sees his chance at a world series and he is going for it.
"Goodness gracious, the Nationals staff SHOULD ALL BE FIRED! Everybody and the scouts and Rizzo for hiring them all.
The Braves came out with a plan and executed it to perfection. BJ Upton led off with a single then stole second. The #2 hitter bunted him to third and Freeman drove him in...
