This season sure did suck, but at least Chipper won the batting title.

I think it is the ONLY bright spot for the team this year. Wake me in March. Ugh.

Don't forget the two rookie pitchers

who have proven this season to be, at worst, middle of the rotation starters. Very, very nice to have.

Sigh last game of the season

I wish baseball was year round.

Just think how many games Chipper would miss if that were the case.

Haha

You’re right. He’d still end up playing only 130 games a season

JJ, yes, but isn't Campillo 28 or 29?

Stupid thing, this goes under Victor's reply to me.

Yeah he's old

But his service time is low so the Braves have him for the next 5 years (I think) for under market value. I love watching batters whiff on that changeup.
