We have said this before.

More likely to happen? BJ hits for cycle, or Minor goes a game without giving up a bomb.

Being in San Diego and it being a pitchers park against an offense that's actually worse then ours? Minor has a slight advantage there.

Peace in the Middle East.

We have said this before.

Yeah. But we're not facing the best team in the league.

Who knows how the season will go. The Braves have their flaws but the Nats do as well. They have lost 4 of 5 to the Phillies and Fish. Those teams suck but we have struggled against them at times as well. That's just the way the East is this year.

 

[cajunrevenge]

Made 20 bucks off last night's game. Bet 73 on the braves tonight, would win 56.

 

[bravesnumberone]

Russell and BJ can be hipster buddies.

We have zero excuse to lose this series, but we've done a good job of it against the Padres in San Diego recently. Luckily enough, the NL East is the one division the Braves can hang in this year. I'm not a believer in Washington.

Gotta feeling the Braves are about to go on a run.

I may not be either but they're just a little bit better overall than the Braves which is why i think they win the East.

Regards to the Pads series.

Kennedy/Ross is tough, Ross is 6th in ERA in the NL this year and Kennedy is 3rd in the NL in K's.

not exactly a couple of stiffs.

I agree. Jobu has been fed a bag of strong Cuban strain weed, and is intently watching from Nederland, CO while listening to some acoustic Marley on vinal.

 

[bravesnumberone]

Batting average is no longer a big deal, but I still find it amusing the guy with the lowest there is leading off.

 

[CJC]

Today is a Freemaunster type of day.

Just curious what you've seen that makes you think this?

 

[Ampere]

On the other hand, OBP is a pretty big deal and I don't find it amusing that we have the position player with the lowest OBP leading off.

[CJC]

Is something wrong w/ our defensive scouting?

Lots of regular speed ground balls are getting through this week.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

I don't have a response for this.
