Yeah, I saw someone on Twitter point out the Mets caps with the American flag that are on sale. I just particularly like the Jackie Robinson point because that shit is so ridiculous.Windu said:

The Cardinals signed Chris Carpenter to a 2-year, $21 million contract extension.

I remember reading about some football players wearing unauthorized wear yesterday even though they couldn't. They paid the fine.
Easily the worst everyday player in all of the baseballs:

Supposedly, with Weeks slowing working his way back Betancourt will be moved to the bench and Hairston will see time at short. Good lord, he cannot be worse.

He's not as bad as Raul Ibanez, Vernon Wells or the lethal White Sox combo of Alex Rios + Adam Dunn. Gotta look at the positives!
So today the topic du jour is how "bad" the Brewers are against winning teams. They have zero winning records against teams with winning records. (fixed but butchered grammatically)
What a bizarre worry. There are 6 teams with winning records in the NL. The Brewers are one of them. They split the series with the Cardinals and the Giants. So that leaves 3 teams. 3-4 against AZ, 3-5 against Atlanta, 3-4 against Philly.
That tells us exactly nothing.

That would indeed be something to be worried about.
What you actually meant means pretty much nothing at all.

Braves lineup:
1. Bourn - CF
2. Jones - 3B
3. Freeman - 1B
4. Uggla - 2B
5. McCann - C
6. Prado - LF
7. Heyward - RF
8. Gonzalez - SS
9. Beachy - P
This is the first time since McCann came off the DL that Freeman/Uggla are hitting 3/4. Those were their spots in the lineup when they were bashing everything in August.

I think the Phils will be running their AAA lineup out there at the end of the year if things keep up like they are. Plus the Phils are due to lose a bunch of games to the Braves. The Braves almost always play the Phils really tough.

The Braves still have 6 games left against the Marlins, who they've destroyed this season even when they weren't playing well. They are 9-3 on the year against the Marlins. They are the team the Braves have handled the best in the NL East. They are 6-9 against the Phillies, 8-7 against the Mets, and 8-7 against the Nationals.
They don't face Vazquez or Sanchez this series and Stanton, Morrison, and Cameron are all hurt.
Then they face the Mets for three. They are only 8-7 against them this year, but they did just sweep the double header.
The only issues would be the three games against the Phillies at the end of the season and the three games in Washington. The Braves always shit the bed in Washington for some reason.

Just the other day Jason Stark was saying that he expects the Phils starters to have really strict innings counts down the stretch if they clinch homefield. I really doubt the Phils have any effect on the Braves playoff run this year.
I feel like it's a Larry David argument when I talk about anything pertaining to this. I don't like that Robinson's number is retired throughout baseball and I don't like that every player is forced to wear his jersey number. Same boat with the silly American flag baseball caps they wear now. I think there should be simply a decal or alteration to the uniforms that are available for sale for limited time during the even with proceeds going towards the proper charity. I think more teams should be able to do this such as NYFD or Red Sox with the Jimmy Fund.CajoleJuice said:
On a similar note, I never had a problem with the pink bats.

The Phillies are so damn good, I seriously believe their AAA team in MLB uniforms could split a series with with the Cardinals.
But the Phillies may have some motivation to squash out the Cardinals. As the #1 seed, you don't want a red hot team invading the playoffs and screwing up everyone's mojo. The Braves and Brewers are limping in right now.

I would take the Cards over the Braves any day. The Braves are a really good team that has fallen on some bad luck. They would be a really tough team to beat in a playoff series. I would take the Cards over any other NL possible playoff team. Their lineup has holes, their pitching is just okay, and their manager does crazy shit just to try and prove how smart he is.

Marlins lineup:
1. Bonafacio - RF
2. Infante - 2B
3. Dobbs - LF
4. Sanchez - 1B
5. Buck - C
6. Petersen - CF
7. Murphy - SS
8. Dominguez - 3B
9. Volstad - P
Marlins beat writer said Stanton is not expected to play in this series. Volstad is 0-4 with a 4.60 ERA in his last 5 starts. He's only averaging 2.6 runs of support.

The 2011 Braves have got to be the worst team with runners in scoring position I've ever seen. Seriously, if you let them get a runner to 2B, you've got them dead.

My god the Braves are fucking done. Seriously. Marlins take the lead on a walk, a dropped pop-up, a hit, and a wild pitch.

2006 proved to me that "backing into the playoffs" means nothing. I'd wouldn't be too worried for the Braves though since the Cards are just teasing fans like myself before collapsing in the final weeks.AnEternalEnigma said:
