BTW, Maholm fires a complete game 3 hit shutout and nobody is talking about it?

I was moving during most of the game but caught the last two innings. Maholm has been pitching well as of late and glad that it is continuing for the good guys. Him and Sheets will be the reason we win the division.

Braves are straight wearing Johan Santana out 1 1/3 6 runs 8 hits.

Freddie Freeman Homer



That ball was mashed.

Payback for opening day. I remember watching baseball tonight in April and those idiots saying the Mets would win the division

[USCooper]

Well and the marlins.... LOL

[eaglegolf018]

Braves offense and Kris Medlen were special tonight. That ball that Freeman socked was unreal. However, Washington came back won again tonight. Somebody on Twitter pointed out that they could go .500 the rest of the way and still win 95 games. That's impressive.

Btw, anybody else hear about Joe Simpson going off on somebody joking about him having a DUI? Man he was talking about beating the dude's tail.

[M.C.]

braves are on fire ... I am so happy to see this

[Fear#5]

Anybody see Freddie's homer he just hit? Buster Olney just tweeted about it being a bomb.

[eaglegolf018]

Yeah but Sheets hasn't been sharp. Balls are finding holes too so 3-1 is manageable. Nats lost today

[Cocklover]

everytime the Nationals lose, the Braves lose...it's getting old

[eaglegolf018]

The Braves had the biggest strip tease of a 9th inning I've ever seen. 2 outs it was still 6-1 with 2 on. The Braves had 5 walks in the 9th by the time they had the bases loaded and it was 6-3. Prado doubled to make it 6-5 for the first hit of the inning. Then Heyward struck out on a ball in the dirt and was thrown out by a half step to lose 6-5 with the tying and go ahead runs in scoring position.

[Cocklover]

When I saw Heyward come up I knew we were going to lose...He is very impatient at the plate when he is in those type of situations

[Cocklover]

I would say it's now time to start following the wild card race...Washington is never gonna lose and when they do every so often, the Braves lose

[cockinraleigh]

Even shitty teams seem to play good ball when they play the Braves. I just don't get it.

[Danny Cheated]

The Braves are playing for a wild card spot, boys. Ain't gonna catch the Natinals.

[eaglegolf018]

Washington went to San Fran and won 14-2.

Great win last night with a superb performance by Huddy paired with a good offensive showing. Not to mention the Nats lost to give us back the game we lost on Monday.

However, none of that is the most awesome news of the day.

Giants outfielder Melky Cabrera has been suspended 50 games after testing positive for a performance-enhancing drug, reports ESPN's Jorge Arangure (on Twitter). MLB has confirmed both the suspension and that substance was testosterone. The suspension takes effect immediately and will cost him the rest of the season.

Payback is a bitch!!

[GamecockFan7689]

Considering his English skills displayed at the All-Star Game, I seriously doubt he actually said this.

"My positive test was the result of my use of a substance I should not have used," said Cabrera through a statement, courtesy of Hank Schulman of The San Francisco Chronicle (on Sulia). "I accept my suspension under the Joint Drug Program and will try to move on with my life. I am deeply sorry for my mistake and I apologize to my teammates, to the San Francisco Giants organization and to the fans for letting them down."
