Now all Braves fans get to spend the next three days rooting for the Nationals.

ALTANTA

They're just thrilled to avoid one-game bottle gate.

 

[billy beane]

Yay we won the division. Hopefully we can go all the way this year.

 

[Talon]

Minor
Medlen
Teheran
Maholm

I suppose. Take your pick with 2/3.

[Dmncnby2k9]

Thats a nice one Braves. Like this one of the As.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Alex Wood will more than likely already be warming up in the bullpen before Paul Maholm throws his first pitch.

 

[CygnusXS]

Hopefully the Rangers can keep things at least a little interesting down the stretch.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

The AL Wild Card sure got boring fast.

 

[Sanjuro]

The AL Wild Card sure got boring fast.

Yup. Another postseason with cancer.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Thats a nice one Braves. Like this one of the As.

Wea's? lol. Could have positioned that better.

As for the AL Wildcard, Tampa needs to lose more, also Minnesota loves playing us tough, but I can't see Francona letting us lose more than 1 to them.

 

[cashman]

The Rangers, trying to solve that power void, tried to pull off a blockbuster deal for Atlanta Braves outfielder Justin Upton before the July 31 trade deadline. The Rangers offered starter Matt Garza, All-Star closer Joe Nathan and outfielder David Murphy, but they were rejected, two high-ranking club officials told USA TODAY Sports. They spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were unauthorized to publicly talk about personnel decisions.

At least they tried.

 

[Sanjuro]

At least they tried.

I'm sure they could reel in BJ Upton.

 

[CygnusXS]

At least they tried.

lmao at that joke offer

I'm sure they could reel in BJ Upton.

this though has some merit

 

[Malvingt2]

At least they tried.

oh wow...

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

At least they tried.

Sorry brah...

 

[alstein]

At least they tried.

They tried to get Andrelton Simmons last offseason without even offering Profar, which was even more ridiculous. Deal has at least some logic behind it, though Rangers weren't offering enough.

 

[Windu]

ALTANTA

will buy and wear proudly around disappointed nats fans.

Here's the thing: It's not just the offense. Derek Holland has been a mess this month. Over his last 10 starts, Matt Garza has allowed four or more earned runs seven times. The biggest fears of the Rangers' front office that was pressured by ownership to deal for Garza are proving true: He's nothing close to a frontline starter, and because they can't get draft-pick compensation for him, they're going to rue trading starter C.J. Edwards, whom evaluators absolutely love.

I said the trade reeked of desperation when it happened. Looks like that may have been the case.

Lol, no way the Rangers would even think about giving up Profar for a guy like Simmons.

 

[newjeruse]

Sabathia out for the season.

 

[ToxicAdam]

Sounds so dire, until you realize there is one week left.


Next year might be a good year for CC to take off and get that Tommy John surgery that he probably needs.

That was a JD move all the way. He is just trying to leak stuff to Galloway and Company to get the heat off him and make Nolan look bad.

 

[Malo]

Sabathia out for the season.

This should have happened sooner. Hopefully he gets back on the captain crunch and becomes the fatty of old.

 

[Sanjuro]

Sabathia out for the season.

What do they have...4, 5 games remaining?

 

[newjeruse]

What do they have...4, 5 games remaining?

Whatever. He'd be out 8 weeks if it was the start of the season.

 

[Sanjuro]

Whatever. He'd be out 8 weeks if it was the start of the season.

I'm not mocking you for posting it. Just the BREAKING NEWS SABATHIA OUT FOR THE SEASON!!

They should have just hid the injury and claimed his final start scratched due to innnnnndddiiiggesssstionnnnnnn.

 

[Parch]

We have a winner in the Yahoo NEOGAF Baseball League.

icecream thread beat Cuban Jailbait in the final. Defending champ Benny the Jet took the bronze.

Good season with lots of competative battles all year. GAF knows baseball.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Lol, no way the Rangers would even think about giving up Profar for a guy like Simmons.

What they were supposedly going to do was trade Mike Olt to the Braves for Simmons and then flip Simmons to the Diamondbacks for Justin Upton since the D'Backs were asking for either Andrus or Profar. D'Backs ended up getting Didi Gregorius in a separate deal.

I'd say it's the other way around at this point, and that's no slight to Profar.

Simmons is Ozzie Smith with Alex Gonzalez's bat right now. He's a legit superstar already.

 

[CygnusXS]

No Bethancourt

Jason playing CF and batting leadoff even with Schafer in the lineup is neat though.

But then again Schafer in the lineup

 

[lazybones18]

hopefully the O's can make the WC interesting by beating Tampa these next couple of days

 

[CygnusXS]

Well they just lost 3 of the first 3 games in this series to them so...

 

[CygnusXS]

Yo Enigma, good news. Fredi is thinking of pitching Garcia instead of Maholm in the playoffs!

 

[Square Triangle]

I just won a signed Jose Bautista baseball from SONY.

 

[Dominican Power]

Machado is done for the season.

 

[MiKeD]

Well Machado's season is done. Could be an ACL tear or something in his knee.

 

[MiKeD]

Machado is done for the season.

In such a stupid way aswell. Fucking hell.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I just won a signed Jose Bautista baseball from SONY.

Hang on to it so that we can use it to match the purchase invoices during the next PED clinic scandal.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

I'm shocked the O's are even winning this one.

 

[Zen_Arcade]

All I'm worried about with Machado is him coming back and being the player he was. The Orioles weren't making a post season run this year anyway.

 

[CygnusXS]

Well, here's the Machado gif: http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2894/9904625155_fd33873b6c_o.gif

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Machado is done for the season.

Fuck, that sucks. Love Machado

 

[weekend_warrior]

You shitty worthless fucking Orioles.

edit: You FUCKS.

 

[lazybones18]

Oh O's

 

[lazybones18]

Well this is interesting. The ratings for the Astros/Indians game yesterday on CSN Houston pulled a whopping...0.0

http://nesn.com/2013/09/report-no-one-watched-sundays-astros-indians-game-tv-rating-came-in-at-0-0/

 

[weekend_warrior]

Go for 3 McClouth!

 

[sf2fanatic]

Machado is done for the season.

Well there goes my championship!!!

 

[Lee Chaolan]

lol Orioles.

 

[Dominican Power]

Well there goes my championship!!!

He hasn't done anything in September and has been slumping the 2nd half.
