Dan Uggla - SEC referee?

[Kaos]

He's blind, obviously.  He's also stupid.  Has a career ahead of him as an SEC ref in Tuscaloosa.

Braves apparently set to leave Uggla off the NLDS roster (good thing) despite the fact that he's the highest paid player on the team.

“It’s his ball club,” Uggla said. “I’ve got to respect the decision that he made. Do I agree with it? Once again and I’ve reiterated this a lot of times – no absolutely not. I don’t think we’re a better ball club with me on the bench. But he’s the manager. I’ve got to respect his decision.”

Really?

Uggla batted .179 with 22 home runs and a .671 OPS in 136 games.

Since having vision surgery in August, he batted .133 with one home run and a .508 OPS in the 77 plate appearances.

He struck out 171 times.  That's more than Andres Big Cat ever did in Atlanta and he had a reputation for whiffing.  Side note: The Uptons struck out more than 300 times combined. 

That's the equivalent of closing your eyes and swinging at every pitch thrown.

Maybe he couldn't reach the pitches.

It's the bat isn't it?

So they chopped him from the post season roster? I'd be mad as a T-Rex too.

Guess Christmas bonuses may be a little light this year.

He may have to give everyone jelly of the month club.

You forgot to mention that he finished with the worst batting average EVER for a second baseman with at least 500 at-bats.  Or maybe just having a .179 average already implies that information.

My only problem is BJ isn't on the bench with him.

I heard the Braves were only out of first for one day this season.  They seemed to keep a decent lead over Washington most of the season but if memory serves, they really went on a tear and put the division away when JayHey went to lead off.  Plunked in the jaw and they really just limped through September.  Don't think they were .500 for the month and under .225 as a team.  I'm hoping him being back will spark them again.  However...

I don't look for much in the opener.  Kershaw is just plain nasty.

I like you also.

And if we see Kershaw twice, we won't see the NLCS.

Think he'll need any help moving out of Atlanta?  Because I know somebody that could help.

As long as it doesn't involve lifting.

Sounds like he knows the format.
