Hey, what's up? Yeah, Jeff Francoeur, how's it going? Chipper Jones, Tom Glavine, John Smoltz, Yunel Escobar, Mark Teixeira, all you others, yeah, doing good?
I just have a few observations to make.
First, Chipper Jones, your bat is on fire. You're averaging over .400, .413 to be exact. After two months of play. That is extremely difficult, and I have to tip my hat to you. In a level of play where the pitchers are tricky, the fielders are fast, and ... well, you know the other considerations better than I do, because you trump them.
Second, why are you guys always losing away games? You do fine at home. I forget the statistic of how many you've lost away, but it's ridiculous. If you even won a third of the away games, you'd probably be leading the league.
Third, and the real reason why I write, what the heck was up with the game last night? It was a home game, which is of course why you won, but you made it very close. In the ninth inning, when you only needed two outs to win, there were two seperate plays where gloves failed to come up with balls, and runners got around the bases more. Maybe Smoltz should've struck them out, the way you outfielders were playing.*
And then at the bottom of the ninth, Jeff Francoeur steals home when the catcher loses the ball. And in the tenth, a man is hit in, and the game is over. Those were two good plays that wouldn't have happened if someone hadn't made a mistake, but... sometimes those plays don't happen. So good work, all of that. Try not to make the errors, and win them as terrifically as that if you happen to.
Best wishes,

*I used to be an outfielder, so I know a lot about making mistakes out there. Poor guys. >_<
