Nats have scored all 4 of their runs after 2 were out; Met will fall 10.5 back if the score holds and the NL East might start looking like the AL East in terms separation between team 1 and the rest of the division

With Jim Fregosi there watching Greinke, Brewers now realizing Wren is willing to trade one of the top pitching prospects (after the Dempster fiasco), Greinke wanting to play for Atlanta and was said that Braves did have money to get a top of the line starter somehow someway, it seems like the stars are aligning.
That’s right where WREN SCREWS it up!!

I wish Joe would let that go.
Can’t hit him in a close game. He’ll steal 2nd and score on a hit.
Let it go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, please explain our ‘front-line’ hitting prowess this season, Mr. Wren?
Answer: Well sure, that’s a good question….uh, uh….as long as we play in a delightfully implausible manner—I’m good. Keep choppin….thanks.

Perhaps the best thing that could happen is for us to get swept by the Fish and then have the Nats sweep the Mutts, so that Wren is no longder deluded in thinking that we are just one or two trades away from getting to the post-season. May be time to pull a Chicago or Miami and blow the whole thing up and build for the future.

The Marlins aren’t even making an effort right now. The Braves will win this game easily.

I’m sure Brewers will take Delgado + for Greinke without having to surrender Teheran or other top tier prospects. Probably Delgado + a few other pieces like Bethancourt, Spurill, ect…. and that wouldn’t be a bad deal, considering it is very likely that Greinke would sign an extension.

I’m sitting here and just realized that I can take a tennis ball and throw at my ceiling fan, and the ball would make more contact and travel farther than most of Dan’s AB’s the last 6 weeks.

I liked Joe much better when he was the 3rd guy with Pete and Skip. He was better off the bench than as a starter.

Nolie says ” a split at their park(Nats) is not a bad thing”. Sounds like some of that “Fredi G reasoning”. In fact FG thinks if they split series all year they come out on top in the end. He’s still trying to figure out how to split a 3 game series!

#Pirates are close to landing Wandy Rodriguez. Not bad. Willing to trade with HOU, since they’ll be in AL West next year.

One of Greinke or Dempster is coming to ATL. I’d be willing to bet nolie’s years supply of preperation-H. That adds to a lot of cash, folks.

Wandy Rodriguez? I guess he’ll replace Bedard when he leaves for free agency. McDonald, Burnett, Rodriguez and Correia ain’t terrible, I guess. Good thing they have Cole and Taillon coming. Bright future – finally.

Greinke hits a HR off Lee AND has a bunt sacrifice. Obviously, if we get him, he’s gonna hit 5th or 6th for us when he pitches.
