We play the Phil’s 6 more times not to mention all the games with the Nats who are horrible and we still have a lot with the Mets. We still have a shot at the Div.

that was big. really wish chipper could have driven in that runner on 3rd with 1 out a couple of innings ago to give us a three run lead…
i would like to get at least one more and hold the mets right here so soriano has some room for error…

Hmmmm how about A Rod, Aramis Ramierez, Sandavol, Casey Blake, Brandon Inge there are quite a few 3b having a better year than chipper.

It’s wild how summa y’all are so quick to jump on Chipper’s azz. Hell, he can’t help it that he’s 37. I’m 50, if I could help that I would! He’s been mashin most of the time too. He’s had some lapses on defense, but that’s been better as a whole lately.
If y’all wanna bash somebody, bash somebody who’s bashworthy and fun to bash, like Nawton!

Youk doesnt even play third…Epic Wiff, you look like frenchy. Chipper is in the top ten of every stat for 3rd but RBI’s and most of the people leading him are in the AL so needless to say he is in the top 3 of all NL 3rd basemen. Pretty damn good for prolly the oldest starting third baseman in baseball.
Heath

As unpopular as the it might be… the odd man out, so to speak, could be Hanson if Hudson makes a triumphant return. They may want to do it to limit his innings this, hi rookie year, and he has the best pure stuff to be a great late-inning relief pitcher.

Yeah Chipper three. Freggin foul out. You know Boooobie. In Fantii at 3rd and KJ at 2nd would have been a good lineup. Remember us bloggers said Mateeeen should play. Look what happen when you (must have accidently) put him in coach. Waggie looked good huh!

Freeman hasn’t been moved too fast … he finally found a level where he’s going to learn something about hitting the hard way. That might be happening with Heyward, too. I know both have had injuries. They are coming to Chatt. Saturday for five games, so I will find out firsthand from the Hon. Phillip Wellman.

c jonze, not true. Most Japanese teams practice the crap out of the sac bunt. And he pitched in a non-DH league, so he definitely has experience bunting.
All in all, great effort by Kenshin. Chunichi pride.

I remember last year when Wagner was hurt that everyone said he was through as a Met. Sounds like he’s going to someone in the pennant race in a waiver deal.

Understand you have to play your way out of a slump but Chipper isn’t healthy, he needs some rest. To bad Prado isn’t healthy either.

i think chipper’s playing through that oblique strain, bc mclouth and prado are out and every game counts. also, with anderson out now too. however, the braves have the luxury of having infante to play 3B and KJ could play 2B

Brandon inge has 24 HR and 67 rbi compared to chippers 15 and 55 chipper has the better avg but inge has the better year. Is Inge as good as chipper NO hes simply having a better year get your stats right before you make a stupid comment. Oh and by the way Aramis has 10 HR compared to chippers 15 HR and chipper has 186 more at bats hmm whose got more power. But your right Aramis has been hurt so i will erase him even though hes got 10 HR.
