And while we are at it, can we change the name of the Cy Young Award to The Jake Arrieta Award? May he have a long career, free of Tommy John Surgery, and ACL injuries.

May as well. He's going to win it every year anyway.

No, just the NL Central (which they will win by about 46 games)

McCutchen...hit 3 hrs last night in 4 ABs. it has taken the Braves 364 ABs to do the same.

57 players ...yes players not teams have hit more home runs than the entire Braves roster combined for the season.

America's team.

So the hell what! The Bravos are manufacturing runs and losing games the old fashioned way!

Just an observation on the Braves. Yes, they suck. No doubting that. They gutted the team from the top down and they're taking their lumps and getting what they deserve. Took down the Mets tonight in NY 3-0 with Matt Wisler pitching a 1 hit shut out. Correction, bullpen pitched the 9th. The only positive is that we're actually starting to see some of the young talent get some real playing time and getting some positive results. Like lead off hitter, Mallex Smith. Fast as hell. Great in the outfield and had 2 hits, including a HR off Matt Harvey. Anywayz, with a 7-19 record, there's not much to take solace in....except...

They swept the Marlins on the road earlier. Big deal? Nope! Except when you think about the rest of the schedule to this point. The Braves have started the season against the best of the best in the NL. For the NL, it's been murderer's row. Washington Nats (18-7 and 1st place), Chicago Cubs (20-6 and 1st place), Boston Red Sox (15-10 and 1st place), NY Mets (16-9 2nd place and last year's World Series) L.A. Dodgers (13-13 tied for 1st place), St. Louis Cards (13-13), Florida Marlins (12-12). The NL elite so far and not one team with a losing record.

Don't know what they'll do. Pretty sure they're destined to lose 100+ games. Should with that line up. But I'm a sucker. I'm still watching and trying to find some positives.

Edit...yes, Boston is in the AL.

The inevitable World Series Champion Cubs, have a pitcher doing some fairly remarkable things. Maybe you've heard of him...Jake Areola. Right now, the best pitcher on CLEARLY the best team in baseball (You know, the team that's going to win the WS)is 6-0 with an ERA of 0.84. The one stat that I heard today on Mike & Mike is in his last 26 starts, he has more no-hitters (2) than losses (1). And that loss happened because Cole Hamels threw his own no-hitter against the Cubs that day.

I think you can already pencil him in as the World Series Day 1 starter. It will be good to see him pitch that ONE game in the World Series since the Cubbies are going to take the series 4-0.
