First I agree....it isn't an All Stat game. I am just disappointed that people are so in love with a Home Run hit they over look the basic fundamentals of the game and many of it's outstanding players.


Again I agree, but with one slightly different point of view. Why are these people stars? Because these are the only people covered by the media. I was watching ESPN the other day Prado had a 3-5 day with 2 doubles a Triple and 2 Runs scored. The braves lost that game. He was not covered once during the game discussion and at the end when they show the abriviated box score I think it looked something like this

Diaz 2-4 3RBIs
Freeman 0-5
Uggla 0-2 2 Walks 1 Run

And it had Ugglas name highlighted.

Now if you can't even make the teams score card with a 3 extra base hit day, you probably never will.

Braves MLB site isn't any better. All you ever see is Uggla Heyward Chipper and McCann (and assorted Pitchers) on their front page.

Not that they dont deserve it from time to time, but if the headline is Uggla/Heyward continue to struggle or McCann/Jones/Freeman on or off the DL and the top performances of players are never listed, then those players will never receive the credit they deserve.

I guess I get tired of the media telling us who the stars are and not letting the play and the character of the athletes determine it.

beginning to end???? You must have been drinking a lot during the middle of the year. Prado had multiple injuries and a major staph infection and still went out there and gave it all he had every game.



Don't worry I am sure you will get it right next time.

omg, you're right! and i just thought you were blinded by insane bias! lmao
