<< <i>the same heyward that is batting .250? >>
He started out the season very slow, but has been on fire for 2 months. Multi-hits in 8 of last 11. He along with Freddie Freeman and Chris Johnson have carried them post the AS break since they took a small division lead and turned it into what it is today. Without Heyward in the lineup, its a very very different ballclub.

Sucks for Heyward and the Braves. I have a feeling they will still do well. Unlike the Yankees, the Braves have built that team through the draft and logical FA signings.
Figure that will get Tim and Mike in a lather.

Also, I had just started to semi-respect the Mets. I really like their manager alot. I like that they are actually developing their own minor league players now instead of just spending money foolishly on the biggest free agents every year and then watching them flop (what they did throughout the 00's). But alas....the Mets have accidentaly taken out both Jason Heyward and Tim Hudson this summer. Our best pitcher and our 2nd best offensive player. And for that I hate them.

Tim Hudson was your best pitcher??? He was 8-7 with a 4.00 ERA. I think Minor and Teheran would vehemently disagree... Besides, you wouldn't have had room to add Alex Wood or Brandon Beachy. Perhaps a blessing in disguise.
What did you expect from that minor league team...................always has been a bush league team. Remember when Piazza got all bent out of shape when the bat slipped from Clemens hands. Total accident and Piazza honestly thought Clemens was throwing at him
LOL, that bat slipped out of his hands like that pitch that slipped out of his hand and landed on Piazza's helmet...still think Mike should have charged the mound in that Series. Might have changed the entire complexion of that World Series.

<< <i>I was at work and missed the game but was it intentional? I don't peg Niese as that kind of pitcher. >>
Nah, it definitely was NOT intentional. Just got away from him.

Piazza was always known as a guy that stuck his head to close to the plate. Was bound to happen.

The .700 career batting average he had vs Clemens coming into that game may have played a role, too, lol..
Well, I suppose it could be worse. Our manager could have been placing bets from the bullpen phone..

Edited to add: I am sorry Niese let one get away. Reminds me of when Cain hit Wright. Hope Heyward is o.k. and not out long.

<< <i>Hey Braves...thanks for showing up in the series against the Cardinals. Another early exit in the playoffs seems inevitable. >>
I wouldn't expect anything different from a Pirates fan. Must still hurt seeing Sid chug around 3rd while Barry Bonds' ridiculously lame throw from left barely made it to the infield dirt before bouncing. Hey, when was the last time you guys won a WS anyway?

The only thing that would of bailed out Barry Bonds lofting that ball from the outfield, was if Sid Bream's wheel chair had broken a tire.

Amazingly, the Braves and Pirates each have (1) WS title in the last 34 years, despite the Braves making the playoffs roughly 20 times in that time frame.
Incidentally,
Saturday's game:
Lincecums 6 Pirates 3
Sunday's affair:
Giants 4 Buccos 0
Physician, heal thyself.
Actually the throw wasn't a bad throw. Just a little late. I'm sure everyone has heard Van Slyke tell his story of him trying to tell Bonds to move in a few steps just before Cabrera's hit. Bond's responded by giving Van Slyke the bird.
