Martin rounding third is the definition of tearing a$$.

lol, J.A. Happ works 6 scoreless for the Astros shut-out win.
July 30th, 2010 at 11:13 pm
I just saw that JPD. Just the perfect night for a Phillies fan.

Who do you think wins in a hypothetical foot race between Troy Glaus and the Tin Man from The Wizard of Oz?
July 30th, 2010 at 11:23 pm
The Tin Man would win AND Glaus’s joint would make more noise.

*joints

I bet the Tin Man would have more power with men on base, too.

Ugh, jammed finger on Prado. X-Rays underway… if we lose our two best hitters in the same year to head-first slides…
July 30th, 2010 at 11:44 pm
Ham, Steve and I were talking about how excited we were that Infante would finally get some playing time. Stupid Prado….
July 30th, 2010 at 11:50 pm
Yuck. X-Rays taking “longer than usual.”
July 30th, 2010 at 11:54 pm
Curtis! Take it back! Not stupid…passionate. Even if it’s only jammed that takes him out for a bit right? Bub,(shielding eyes) put some clothes on.
July 30th, 2010 at 11:56 pm
Maybe the machine is faulty. Or, Prado was so excited about the win he got antsy and wiggled as the xrays were being taken. So many reasons they could be taking a while.
July 30th, 2010 at 11:56 pm
*fakes the sound of putting on clothes*
Okay, you can look.
Ugh, waiting on Xray is nervewracking. Boooo. I want a COMPLETE happy day for Atlanta. It’s been a while…

Too bad Freeman’s not here. Lefties batting .290 against Arroyo. Can you imagine Heyward, Hinske, Freeman, McCann, McLou… McLo… *chokes*

*pounds Bub on a fully clothed back*. Spit it out.

Dodgers about to pick up Lilly. C’mon, Braves, DO SUMPTN.
July 31st, 2010 at 12:08 am
DOB, stop tweeting about Blanco call ups and stuff. I need Two Words: X-Rays Negative. Say the words! Come ONNNNN!
July 31st, 2010 at 12:08 am
Gotta go sleep. Please oh please be ok dear Meadow!

Inconclusive? That’s not fair.

Mara, I have to correct what I said about Freeman not being “Heyward great” in AAA because I was only looking at his stats for the whole year. A truer picture is what he’s done since June when he turned a corner. We’re on the last day of July, and this is what the kid is really doing down there:
June: .333 Batting Average, with a monster .946 OPS!!!!
July: .318 Batting Average, .923 OPS.
Twenty. Freaking. Years. Old. And, yeah, that’s very close to “Heyward Great.” J-Hey didn’t play enough in AAA to get an exact comparison, but he hit .352 in 47 games of AA, and I would say that’s about even or just a little better than what Freeman is doing.
Frederick is better right now than Troy Glaus, I can hardly doubt it.
They’ll never do it in a million years, though.

If Minor is as ready as he looks, I believe he’ll break camp with Freeman in 2011 (Meds to the pen or traded), and if he does that, can you guys believe this onslaught of high impact rookies four years in a row???? Who does that?!
2008: Jair Jurrjens
2009: Tommy Hanson, Kris Medlen
2010: Jason Heyward, Jonny Venters
2011: Freddie Freeman, Mike Minor
And it would be pretty unusual if 2012 doesn’t graduate one of Teheran & Delgado. Other real possibilities: Kimbrel, Mike Dunn. I bet nobody in baseball besides maybe Tampa Bay can boast the “Wins Above Replacement” numbers we’re getting from rookies in this span.
July 31st, 2010 at 6:25 am
Everybody get your trade predictions in.
I’ll take a longshot guess:
Cody Ross from Florida for Mike Dunn, Tyler Stovall, and Spanjer-Furstenburg.
