Yep, Texas gonna win again. it's why the Indians can't lose a single game. Rays aren't going to lose either, it's crap.

Gonna be 3 hot teams there at the end, sadly only two make it.

Some funny comments on MLB after the Indians game

"Chris Perez, you owe Jason Giambi the biggest, bestest steak dinner money can buy. And you better take Michael Brantley along, too."

"Not just a steak dinner, but dessert too. Perez should bake him a pie. Or maybe some brownies. Very special brownies."

That would be a cool idea if Masterson were healthy. But, you don't throw a guy with an oblique issue out there in the fire.

In the end, you have to ride the horse that got you there. The Indians have managed to do okay with bad closers in the past (Borowski and Wickman (late in his career) when they came in during crunch time.

It's a shame Pestano turned into a broken toy. Would have been awesome to have the 2011-2012 version of him right now.

Actually Masterson is healthy enough to pitch out the bullpen. He could actually go today if they need him. So why not as the closer.

Saying your healthy and being healthy are two different things (see: RGIII)


Oblique issues for pitchers traditionally take 4-8 weeks to heal. Masterson hasn't even been out a full month yet.

What you're talking about is when pitchers come back to start a game again. We're talking about 1 inning, though.


"Indians rotation leader Justin Masterson threw a 33-pitch bullpen session Friday with no lingering effects from his strained left oblique"
That's 5 days ago. He's healthy enough to go 1 inning.

at bottom of this @ajcbraves piece, dave recounts all the times nats said they were better. http://tinyurl.com/lz4mwrs


• After much talking, Nats done: Until the Braves finally wrested the division title from the 2012 champion Washington, the Nats wouldn’t stop talking about how they believed they were better than the Braves, even though Atlanta went 13-6 with a 2.22 ERA against them this season. Seriously, they wouldn’t stop talking.

-- Mid-April and Braves sweep Nationals in D.C. to go 3 ½ up in NL East:

Infielder Danny Espinosa on April 13 after a 3-1 Braves victory: "They’re good, I don’t think they’re better than us. They’re a good ballclub, they have talent. They’re hot right now, they only lost one game, but they’re hot. It all evens out."

Espinosa after 9-0 Braves victory on April 14 to sweep the series: "I still don’t think that they’re better than us. They’re hot right now. They’ve come back on some people, they’re playing well, it doesn’t last forever so I’m not worried about it."

Before Nationals come to Atlanta on April 28 for three-game series, with Braves up by 2 ½ games:

Pitcher Jordan Zimmermann: "Obviously, we want to go in there and take care of business. They came [to Nationals Park] and pretty much embarrassed us. We didn't play very well that series. … We feel we are playing pretty good ball right now. We'll go down there and try to win as many ballgames as we can and win the series down there. We can try to sweep them at their place and send a message that we are a lot better than we showed [at Nationals Park]."

Outfielder Jayson Werth: "They were hot. They were on a roll. We weren't playing real well. That happens sometimes. That's why you play each other 18 times in the division. … At the end of the year, whoever has the best record wins the division. We have a long way to go, a lot of games to play and we'll be all right."

May 2 after teams split four games at Turner Field and Braves remain 2 ½ games up:

Pitcher Gio Gonzalez: “We’re off to a slow start. Once we turn it around it’s going to be a big change.”

On Tuesday July 9, before All-Star game, Braves lead by 6:

Outfielder Bryce Harper: “It’s going to go down to the wire. The Phillies are playing good and the Braves have played well all year. We’re playing pretty good, too. We’re lucky to be at .500 right now, but we’ve got a great team and we’re expecting to be right there at the end.’’

On Wednesday July 31, the Braves lead by 11 with 54 games to go:

Harper: “We need to get going and play better, hit better, have better ABs in certain situations and pitch better also. It’s just something we need to do. We play the Braves nine games. This [expletive] ain’t over. I really don’t think it’s over. We just got to keep going, keep grinding and turn into the family that we were last year.”

On Sept. 15 with Braves up 10 games and 13 to play before Braves visit for final series:

Manager Davey Johnson: “We played them a lot of close games, but we didn’t hold our own with ’em. And we need to at least send a message to them these next three days that we’re better than them.”
