Title: 6 run 9th for the Mets, they beat the Cardinals 8-6. Post by: 101stDad on September 23, 2011, 01:40:19 EDT Braves up 2 in the wild card race with 6 games to go. Go Braves, and go Cubbies this weekend. :clap:

If they do it could free up a whole lot of money to get a top flight free agent No way they trade Jurrjens- he's 25, and I think he has one more year before he's arbitration eligible. When you can get his kind of production for a touch over $3M, you hang on to him. Hudson makes $9M, but at his age they won't get much for him at that kind of salary. And that goes double for Lowe. Really, once those two guys and Chipper come off the payroll in a couple years, they Braves should be very well-positioned for the future. They have 6 grade A starting pitching prospects all under age 25, which means they can hang on to 5 of them and trade another for a big bat. With O'Flerhety, Venters, and Kimbrel, the back end of the pen is set for years to come. They have some great young position players like Heyward, Freeman, Prado, Bourne, and McCann (seems like he's been around forever, but he's still only 27). In a couple years, this team is going to be a GM's dream: young, talented, and cheap. Title: Re: 6 run 9th for the Mets, they beat the Cardinals 8-6.

For some reason the braves don't play well against the Nationals. Nope, and the Nationals have Strassburg on the hill tonight, so it will be a circus in DC. It would be nice to see a Bravo win and St. Louis loss tonight to make it 3 up with 5 left to play. I really don't want to see this go down to the last game or two. :frown: Title: Re: 6 run 9th for the Mets, they beat the Cardinals 8-6.

Even if the Phils are playing the benches, the starters will get their share of play time. You would hope that the Braves have it wrapped up by Monday. The Cards close out with the Cubs and Astros, so there are a lot of easy wins there. |
