I love this team and want each and every guy on it….just in case a few ever wondered….I want all of them to succeed and play super. I have no enemies on this board and am not planning on having a problem with anybody–please (those few of you) don’t take my posts as an ‘attack’ on anyone.
Now, Captain Mudd, that is an attitude that I like. None of this is personal, its a silly baseball blog. There area few who are either ultra sensitive or elitist & that is their problem. That’s how I look at it.

Freeman 5-32 with a .156 slugging pct. No EBH. 1 RBI. Frediot needs to bench Freeman like he did Uggla. Put Reed and Costantza in there and win games.

I know some people from Mobile AL who are going to be awfully upset about the time change for Sunday’s game. Had tickets for awhile after planning a trip to see relatives in ATL for the weekend. Great, then watch the game in the afternoon(only one this year) and get home at a decent time. Now thanks to ESPN being allowed to move it to night, that means arriving home in the wee hours of the morning. Kids stay home from school or send them on as “zombie” actors? ESPN and FOX have too much power over these games.

Uggla had one good night a couple of days ago, so he’s locked in as a starter for another year or so. I kept telling you to keep him in and he would come around, and he had that game with a HR and a double. All you nay sayers get off his back. I guarantee he will have another big night in September 2013, if not sooner. Just leave him alone. You’re putting too much pressure on him. That’s why he’s 0 for 2 tonight. It’s not his fault.

@Hugo — Edwin Starr was great,real great Soul music. He had a bigger following in the U.K., but had two monster hits back in the day.
War and 25 miles were the big US hist. God Rest his soul. Unfortunately he is no longer among us.

When you think positive thoughts at the plate, it helps to close your eyes. Do that when you swing, and you might get a hit. Then that will boost your confidence. Remember, close your eyes when you swing. Your average will probably go up.

Dan, imagine the ball going over the left field fence. Feel it. Think it. Imagine the flight of the ball, the roar of the crowd. Now imagine you are playing second base, watching the other team’s hitter circling the bases. Dan, sometimes the best medicine is to be well grounded in reality.
