baseball season isn't over?

Pretty "interesting" that there is a place in that ballpark where someone could possibly fall 65 feet without a camera seeing any part of it.

And no, baseball season ain't over. Regular season is 6 months long from April until September, at which point the post-season starts in October with the World Series finishing around Halloween.

I think he is going to be wired shut for a while.

It sucks even more because he has been playing the best he has all season and the playoffs are coming up.

Yeah. Go figure. At least they have Freeman back at first base now. A while back when I was trying to tune in for a game, they said he was out with the flu. Kinda weird. I remember the good old days when players would still play almost no matter what. Unless they had broken bones or some injury that would prevent them from running, catching, and throwing too far off normal pace, they'd get out and play. The flu? Pfft. Otis Nixon would've snorted up 3 lines of coke, rubbed some dirt on, and hit 2 homers.

The Braves were up by 16 games a week ago, now it is 12

I doubt they can fall that far because there are only 31 games left, but you want to be playing your best when the playoffs start. They are playing St. Louis right now and have lost the first 3 games of a 4 game series. St. Louis is good and will probably be someone who the Braves will have to play in the playoffs.

Braves lead is down to 11 with 17 to play

Still, unless things have changed around the whole of the MLB, Atlanta's got the biggest lead on 2nd place in any division and has the most wins of any team in 1st in any division.

Pittsburgh is hoping to make the playoffs this year. Thought I heard something on ESPN's Sportscenter the other day about this being the first time the Pirates have been above 500 at this point in the season in 20 years.
