well even Leo Mazzone on the pre game radio show was confused why CJ wasn’t playing today, especially with an off day tomorrow. A Chipper with one hand tied behind his back is a better hitter than Francisco.

Too bad the Brave don’t have a nearby minor league team that Chipper could have played on for a week or two so he could recover his timing and stamina, instead of trying to rehab in the middle of a major league line-up.

Lemke made a good point on Uggla. He thinks because he was getting pitched so carefully that he has to get his timing back now that pitchers seem to way more aggressive with him. Yeah, he’s way behind pitches. Looks awful

I’m getting my oil changed tomorrow, too, but I’m not going to Express Oil Change. Last time I had the oil changed there in my Altima, they apparently didn’t tighten the filter plug properly (discovered by the NTB guys I took it to the next time). Plus, having bought my Challenger, I get 5 complimentary oil changes, so I’m taking the car to the dealer tomorrow. They also are going to detail the car since they didn’t clean it before I picked it up.

Uggla in June: .358 OBP/.404 SLG. Heyward, Ross, Simmons and Bourn have been more productive in June so far. Uggla has a 109 wRC+, far from bad, especially for a second baseman. But you know his batting average is only .173 in June, so he’s awful, right?
