why in the world would Bourn give up a shot at free agency after have a career year and being the #1 CFer available?

You cannot walk a hitter especially after having him in an 0-2 hole. Luckily it didn’t hurt us as bad as it could have.

The only way Diaz stays employed is that every team knows that he gives and he takes. Bud Selig should be beyond embarrassed that the man is on his payroll.

Uggla is a sub par defender and a sub par bat. That’s not a recipe for winning ballgames.
Yeah you’re paying the guy 15 mil a year but makes no difference. If you can’t send him down to get straightened out, then bench him until he gets a clue.
The stats prove that he’s been a total bust for all but a couple of months as a Braves. If they are stuck with him, then at least be pro-active and call the shots on him. Letting him “swing it out” in the lineup has been a total FAIL. Change the method. Sit him down until he works it out otherwise.

Worthless Dan,,,another strike out. Worthless Dan, biggest bust in baseball. Brain dead. Head case. Keep running him out there, and run youself, and Worthless Dan out of Atlanta. Dan & Fredi…the worst thing to happen to Atlanta baesball. EVER.

The only untouchables on the Marlins are Reyes and Stanton John Heyman CBS Sports
Hanley Ramirez 3B. He’s expensive salary wise but would not cost a lot in trade. He’s into the last two years of the Marlins backloaded contract @ $31 for 13 and 14. Not a better baseball player out there. There is a better head but he will be 29 next year.

Surprised Lance Diaz is that fast on his feet. Within a span of about 3 secs (from 3rd to home) he made up his mind he had to make up for that horrible call last night. He says to himself ” this guy is out if it’s even close”. Problem is it wasn’t in a crucial part of the game like last night. You still owe us LD!

It’s nice to see the first base umpire standing in the vicinity of first base!
The reason Lance Diaz still has a job is because the umpires have a union and a collective bargaining agreement.

Chip says that Reyes admired that homer 10-12 seconds before he started his trot. What a dumbass he is. Yeah, he admired it, but in 12 seconds he had touched home plate already.

What is this “robs a Braves hitter” crap? The guy ran and made a play that any big league center fielder should make. If you can’t make a catch running full speed when you don’t have to leave your feet then you shouldn’t be playing CF in the big leagues.
