Another series victory for the Nationals. Another series where they win the first two games and look like a Triple A ball club in the third game

Well as you recall, he was 60 lbs. overweight and one of the worst everyday players in baseball in 2010, prompting the Braves to outright release him. Supposedly on his way out he managed to disrespect Bobby Cox and rub everyone the wrong way, burning bridges left and right.
Anyway, flash forward two years, and he magically remembers how not to be a fat worthless shitbum. In addition to this "crotch thrust" after his HR (which he stared at for 10 seconds mind you) he did it again after Gregor Blanco's HR, was making overt gestures in LF when Heyward chose not to test his arm on a tag up situation, and apparently several times throughout the game was taunting fans by pretending to throw a ball towards them then walking away.
Of the antics, Chipper said: "That's always been Melky, and that's why he's not here anymore. It won't soon be forgotten."Comment

So basically he hated playing for the Braves and his performance reflected it.The king was shaken. He went up to the room over the gateway and wept.
As he went, he said: "O my son Absalom! My son, my son Absalom!
If only I had died instead of you
O Absalom, my son, my son!"Comment

King Felix is 4-0 with a 1.37 ERA in his last 7 starts. Right in time for the annual Felix trade rumors that will never happen.Comment

OAKLAND, Calif. -- New York Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner will undergo arthroscopic surgery on inflamed tissue in his right elbow, most likely ending his season.
The Yankees announced their plan for the speedy left fielder before Thursday's game against the Oakland Athletics. The surgery will be performed next week by Dr. Christopher Ahmad.
Gardner has not played since April 17, when he suffered what was described as a bone bruise after attempting a diving catch against the Minnesota Twins. After experiencing multiple setbacks in his rehab. Gardner underwent an MRI exam this week.
Yankees manager Joe Girardi already had acknowledged that he was preparing to finish the season without Gardner prior to Thursday's announcement.
"It's unfortunate," Girardi said. "We missed some of the things he brings to our club."
Girardi said he's comfortable finishing the season with the Yankees' left-field combination of Raul Ibanez and Andruw Jones. Ibanez, who plays against right-handers, has 12 homers and 40 RBIs; Jones has 12 homers and 26 RBIs.
"They've done a great job," Girardi said. "Look at the numbers Andruw and Raul have amassed with homers and RBI, and we can use (Dewayne Wise) for defense late if you want to. They've done a good job.
"We do miss that speed element that Brett brought to the game, but I've been pleased with what these guys have."
