They weren't kidding when they said Juan Francisco was looking great in winter ball. Look at how much better shape he's in.

LOL at Braves only 2 games over .500 with this lineup and pitching.

Who is this clown? He's very bad at this.

No way the Braves go 82-80 unless they have major injury problems. Also, the Nats are definitely going better than 88-74. I think the NL East is going to come down to the wire, both teams finishing at or above 95 wins.

And the Yankees at 92 wins, Red Sox at 86? Yeah, he's on crack.

There's an old saying about Baseball. Every team is going to get 54 wins and 54 losses. It's the other 54 games that matter.

It's based on Baseball Prospectus PECOTA computer simulation system.

What's even worse is having the Red Sox at 86 wins. I don't understand why everything think's the Red Sox will be good. They are another 90 loss team.

[AUTiger7222]

Heyward's numbers from June through August were off the charts.

334 PA, 303 AB, 53 R, 89 H, 17 2B, 2 3B, 18 HR, 46 RBI, 29 BB, 83 SO.

If I did my math right that's a slash line of .294/.353/.541 with an OPS of .894.

This is music to my ears!
