Shouldn't hurt them TOO much. But hopefully enough.. to make that 7.5 Division lead disappear. ;)

 

yeah, not sure his scorching .267ba as the leadoff hitter can be replaced.

 

End of the season...pack it in...lol.

 

Please?

 

man, this team just can't to score without jimmy.

 

Well they would've had 10-12 runs...lol.

 

19 runs in 2 games vs Mets? Daaayum, kids. Slow down a bit, let the braves get in on some of that Mets butt beating this weekend.
