[CrimsonCowboy]

Well. Nothing more can be said that has not already

 

[Julio3000]

This team is the corpse of a hobo who suffocated while trying to strip copper from the burning wreck of a garbage scow engulfed in flames after running aground at a sewage treatment facility.

Go get 'em tomorrow, I guess.

Why does everyone hate Freeman now?

 

[cajunrevenge]

Because he isn't Miguel Cabrera, that's why.

 

[Tapate50]

Why does everyone hate Freeman now?

Who hates FF?

 

[AerchAngel]

This is painful. Time for my annual name change.

Ha ha, nice one!!!

No one hates him, they are just calling him out because of the ridiculous statement he made when he was hitting .315 and pwning people. Since then he has been very pedestrian.

4 for his last 34 to be exact.

But he can't suck enough for a game off, apparently.

Braves, when Dan Uggla starts: 21-12
Braves, when Dan Uggla is on the bench: 32-31
Braves, without Dan Uggla on the roster: 5-12

I think the team misses Dan's grit, leadership and talismanic qualities.

He is available. Cheap too.

Reporters certainly weren't questioning clubhouse leadership while he was on the roster.

An excellent point. Sometimes correlation is a sign of causality.

Wasn't that something he said in confidence to Chipper as a friend? Don't think he expected Chipper to announce it to the world.

Arrogant, immature, clown, not a leader, etc have been said.

So do we go with a desperation move and call up Peraza? La Stella has done nothing to lose his job but we need to do something drastic. Even though Fredi refuses to try anything.
