Been watching a good bit of the Dodgers/Giants series, and some with the Padres. I will tell you, they have a good team with a pretty dang good pitching corp. I'm gonna go ahead and give them a nod into the playoffs.

Nice weekend set up for some MLB. Mets/Nationals, Cubs/Brewers, Red Sox/Yankees.

My beloved Astros won their ninth straight.

Ten in a row.

Most homers in the AL (40).

Leading their division by 7 games.

It's like I don't know them any more...

Yeah, Cardinals Martinez over 100 pitches in 4 innings. Score now 7-4 Cubs.

Pretty good game here. Its now 8-6 Cubs.

So Astros drop the game tonight. The streak ends at 10. But winning 14 of last 16 is still amazing.

I'm still in shock.

Braves finally beat the Phillies after 5 tries. 9-0 win. Most significant was Shelby Miller, picked up from the Cards, threw a 3 hit, complete game shutout. Threw 99 pitches total. Rare to see complete games, much less one in under 100 pitches. Braves will struggle all year but there's a few bright spots and Miller has easily been the most consistent starter.

I will really be pissed if Heyward ends up being a one year rental.

Well, the Cubs got schooled two nights in a row by the Cardinals. Had a good lead but the pitching couldn't hold the Cardinals hitters off. I think the Cubs need to add another pitcher to the staff they have now. The Cardinals, on the other hand, just need to keep doing what they be doing. These guys are good.

I still think they are a year or two out from really contending.

I've heard a lot of people say that. I like what they have done with all these young guys. Its a solid team that bats well and plays well together. I've seen some untimely errors though that maybe is a result of all the youth on the team. At least they are fun to watch again.

I agree. Go braves!

Braves get back to .500 at 14-14. Okay...I admit I may have gotten a little mental before the season. Not to say they're going to contend after going .500 after 28 games in a 162 game season. They won't. But this team is not bad to watch right now. There's enough talent to watch and feel like they have a fighter's chance every night.

Freeman is batting .318 with 5 HR and 17 RBI

Simmons: .292 2 HR 15 RBI

Markakis: .301 0 HR 8 RBI from the leadoff spot. (He is not a leadoff hitter)

Jace Peterson: .286 0 HR 7 RBI Love this kid.

Jason Grilli: 39 year old has 9 saves this early. He has great stuff. 93-95 fast ball. Wicked curve.

Not to mention Shelby Miller's performance so far. Julio Tehran will be solid as well as Alex Wood. Bottom line is Braves will be decent to watch most of the year. They'll go through some great times and amazingly bad....bad times. The thing to watch is who will emerge as a future star because this organization will clean house after this year and decide who to build around with all the money they have to spend.
