Constanza won the International League Batting title this year. It seems like that would get you a little respect but it’s happened before and this is how impressed the Braves were.

They should turn that one game wild card game into a 5 game series. It’ll stretch out the season even longer, but fair is fair. They wanted an extra team to have a chance, but you can’t have your cake and eat it too.
But unfortunately they can and they’re proving it.

(CBS) SPRING HILL, Fla. – James Albert Barfield and Tina Michelle Norris were arrested and charged with domestic battery on Sunday morning after a fight reportedly erupted between the two jealous partners during a five-person orgy, CBS Tampa reported.
56-year-old Barfield and 39-year-old Norris were participating in a five person swinger’s party when Norris reportedly became angry when she saw Barfield having sex with another woman. Barfield also became furious with Norris, after she engaged in a threesome with two other men, Hernando County authorities said.

The Way to beat the Braves is to throw strikes. It doesn’t really matter if they are right down the middle of the plate….just throw strikes. On the flp side, we do well when we can work walks (one of the few statistical categories we dominate in MLB).
