"Freeman went 2 for 4 has reached base safely in 36 of his last 40 games. He is hitting.374 in 99 at-bats this month, and his 14-game hitting streak is the longest by a major league rookie this season."


"Uggla connected against Anibal Sanchez (6-4) in the third inning, belting his 20th homer to extend his career-best hitting streak to 21 games. He is batting .295 this month, raising his average for the season to .206."


"Uggla, who struck out with runners on first and third in the fifth, is batting .338 with eight homers and 18 RBIs since his hitting streak began."


i mean really. i know we are falling in the wildcard, and holding steady in the divisional race. AND we have milled out on the infamous "Beltran" and "Pense" prizes, but we have Uggla and Freeman. Both have woken the fluff up in the last month.

and these insane hitting streaks ate coming at a time where we have MVP candidate Brian McCann, outfielder and leadoff man Jordan Schafer, center fielder Nate McLouth, and Hall of Famer Chipper Jones on the DL.

i really couldnt be any happier with the braves right now.


i really dont even want to get into that Pirates series of this week.

Game 1: 2,5 hour rain delay, Pirates win
Game 2: 19 inning game 7 hours and 26 minute game time, Braves win on a insanely bad call
Game 3: 10 inning game, Braves win
Game 4: regulation game with a 47 minute rain delay in the 5th inning that featured no less than 2 more poor calls by the same blue that blew the call in game 2, who was now at 2nd base. Pirates win


that was the most exhausting series i have seen in a long time. i watched every minute of every game
