Lets count the should be errors
1. Pitcher missing the bag on Mac’s sure double play
2. Soriano’s ill fated attempt in LF, any decent LF catches it anyways
3. Allowing the run to score, trying to run down Gonzalez between 1st and 2nd

it should’ve been caught…soriano’s ineptitude has been very apparent for a while…
but i’m glad it happened

I could see that, not sure if they will score it

it was a difficult play
but he should have caught that ball. Even a scorer that is somewhat of a homer should realize that
On my fantasy team, it didn't even credit him with a single!

Other than our announcers, the only guys I have an opinion are:
Bob Uecker, love him but mostly fir the Major League movies.
Hawk Harrelson, White Sox “Put it on the boooooard, YES” guy. Cant stand him. Makes me irate to think about him.
And that “A Bomb for ARod” guy. The world would be a better place if he would just stop using that line.

On November 4th, 2009, Proctor’s agent, Mark Rodgers, released that Proctor had signed a split contract with the Braves and received an invitation to Spring Training. He spent 2010 pitching for the Double-A Mississippi Braves and Triple-A Gwinnett Braves. As of August 14, he had compiled a 7.82 ERA in 31 appearances between the 2 teams.

BALL GAME!
"If I was Freeman I would hope to be traded because apparently Troy Glaus injured and in a slump is better than Freeman healthy. Sucks for Freeman kid deserves to be on the big league team."
We preserved the opening day score with a vidro!

Its funny....
After Chipper left, we were scared about scoring runs. Since then, we’ve averaged 5.92 R/G, scoring 10 runs 3 times in 12 games. In that stretch, we are 9-3 (and our losses were 1-2, 2-6, and 4-5)

WIN!
Braves win, Braves win, party time, excellent!

If the Braves continue at this pace, the Mets have to go 33-5.
I think they are finished

"I always thought that record would stand until it was broken." -Yogi Berra
I have a spreadsheet with formulas
It shows the Braves’ pace record, as well as what the Phillies and Mets have to do to overtake them as well as the Braves’ record if they play .500 ball and what the Phillies and Mets have to do to overtake them.

But...
the mets are the team to beat in the east…

No, I think you misunderstood....
What ESPN probably said was that the New York YANKEES are the team to beat in the NL East……not the New York METS.

No, it was an article by some Mets homer around the all star break. The gist was forget the Braves, because the Mets are really the team to beat.
