I would say the odds are pretty poor that Uggla has a productive at bat.

That 3-0 swing was a direct result of the offensive struggles of the guys in the 7 and 8 spot.

One of the greatest mysteries. How a guy like uggla had a 33 game hitting streak. Think about it, 33!!! One of the worst hitter and overall swings had a 33 game hitting streak. how did that happen?????? Chippers longest is 15 maybe. Dimaggio was shocking but Uggla just as shocking consider the types of hitting

Two runs in 6 innings against the lousy Marlins. Two runs. Man, that is about par for the course for this team. That’s all this crummy offense can do against two bush league Marlins pitchers…..and one of them (Zambrano) is a head case.

2 runs, really? And what about last night?

This blog has seen some rough times in-game during a couple ugly stretches of ball this year…but during a 7 game win streak this might be the most pathetic bunch i’ve ever seen.
Time to grab a beer and ditch this joint. Enjoy the game!

Not a fantastic outing for Sheets – but another quality start – held them pretty much in check after a bad 1st inning – just need the Offense to pick him up.

Sheets pitched good. I thought he would get blown out but this performance has showed me that HEY HE MIGHT BE THE REAL DEAL
we lost the game in the 6th inning

the worst manager in all MLB and maybe in all pro-baseball in the world F-Gonzalez

No Nolie, the opposite…….I think some people in here are unable to handle a single loss during 160 games. We’re doing well, still in this one, just need to go put the feet up and watch the comeback.

Pitch out on 2-2 count with two outs is so dumb. Get the batter out.

So Freddi uses two pitchers for one out then will have to pinch-hit the first batter in the bottom of the inning. Anyone ever remember Freddi ever using a double switch?

brian—couldn’t celebrate in good, old north carolina powderfinger??
Don’t have a laptop to carry on the road, and it feels a little empty celebrating while sitting alone in a hotel room. But I’ve been known to do it anyway. The point is that I wanted to do so while surrounded by cyberfriends…

You won 7 in a row. Big deal! Why not make it 8 in a row? You are playing a minor league quality team. Make up ground when you got a chance. You got a chance to gain a game on the Nats. Don’t blow it.
