@TheOnlyBravesFan Oh I am sorry – I did not realize they were counting runs on almost’s these days let me check the score. …. Well you now what you are the nimwit as the score did not change and I see nothing in the box score. Almosts only count in horse shoes and not baseball.

Uggla should be on the bench. But since the Braves management insist on putting him in the line up, he should be batting 9th because Medlen is a better hitter.

That’s crazy that Uggla, who was brought here to be the cleanup RH power guy, is hitting 8th now.
It's over now
August 28th, 2012
9:31 pm
We all have to face it – no matter how far his batting average falls, no matter how many errors he makes (even though scorekeepers are really not allowed to give him errors), Dan Uggla will be the day to day 2B. There can be far better options, Dan is their man, unless he is in jail. I don’t know what allure or leverage Dan holds but it is working to the extent of keeping him in the lineup.
The only time Dan sits is when Dan wants to or when the announcers will tell the truth (like Sunday Night ESPN).
I hate it because I want to see the best lineup to see the Braves win and Freddi just does not agree with me – I hate it!!!

Regarding New Orleans – Agree with phil
The bigger problem is that our govt. will spend huge bucks they don’t have rebuilding yet again and again it’ll be below sea level and the clock will already be ticking on the next flood.
Same thing with folks that buy that cheap land on the Mississippi flood plain.
If someone buys land real cheap right behind a dam even though they are told not too because it isn’t smart or safe, and they do it anyway, why should the govt bail them out when the dam breaks?
Harsh but …

With uggla, jones, and mccann in the lineup tonite, there’s a 90% chance the Braves lose. He just won’t or can’t understand the issue. I’m afraid he is a dumb SOB.

At the beach, when building a sand Uggla, what happens if one digs down essentially below sea level? Yep…..water intrudes and down she goes.
