Got home half an hour into the game, just caught up watching the recording. Since I have not gone back on the blog, I look forward to reading the retractions from all of those calling for Chipper’s immediate retirement…
Heath, I think they’ll wait till September to activate him for expanded rosters, and unless there’s an injury or Pittsburg Nate magically appears he’ll be left off the playoff roster
Jason Heypipp has to be loving Constanza’s emergence. If Constanza plays well for the rest of the year…..the Braves will have an interesting decision to make before Opening Day 2012 concerning what to do with Heypipp.
So far, Minor is looking pretty good. How great would it be to have a quality lefty in the rotation again? Great work by the young man so far. Looking confident and peppering the strike zone.
When McCann comes back next week….this could be one scary (in a good way) line-up….especially if Uggla is truly back to his old self….and Chipper stays healthy. This line-up could actually give Philly trouble in the postseason.

Also if the Braves don’t resign Bourn after 2012, they could use Constanza in cf
Mcfann,
With all the ceremony and record chasing surrounding the game, are you really focusing on the Gwinnett game?
Your unswerving devotion to Mac never ceases to amaze me.
