Look at all the first and second year players the Braves have gotten to contribute: Estrada, LaRoche, Green, Thomas, Cruz, Ramirez, Smith. And Wise has done better than most veterans filling out the 25th spot.

 

Looks like they'll still win division titles, without hvaing to outspend their competitors.

Top of the 7th most likely in the Bullpen Howard and Weathers

No. Leave Carl in as long as possible.

Nick Green to lead off ... soft liner to Easley

They have a smart front office. Drew was a gamble, because of his injury concerns but man what a pick-up. I don't think many people are surprised at what he has done, but it's these 'buy low' transactions that sustain teams that aren't really outspending to improve their team.

 

Wright was another such bargain, noone expected him to do as poorly as he has in his recent injury plagued years but god he is ten times better than when he was the star of the Indian's rotation during those years.

 

There aren't too many potential cheap pick-ups out there...as far as free agency this year it doesn't look like

freaking wise

 

 

 

1-0 cowards

Leave him in, the team might not get too much with a win but a CG shutout will boost his Cy Young chances

here we go again

Damn CBS sporstline is really lagging...

 

Oh well there goes the shutout...this offense blows...Carl deserves a win this game.

this offense has blown today

It's either pitching with no offense or offense without pitching.....or so it seems
