What the heck was that?

From: Leon
Ok, now that I am done throwing up about that Kentucky debacle, all I can think is what was going on? Lattimore wasn't playing defense. Did the secondary have lobotomies at halftime? That was one of the best first halves I have ever seen, only to be followed by one of the worst second halves. Brian Maddox is a good change of pace back when paired with Lattimore, but struggles as a primary. We should have put Kenny Miles in and ran the ball to run out the clock. Garcia seemed to check out mentally. All out a very poor performance. The Arkansas game is now a must win. Kenny Miles needs to take advantage of the opportunity this week and get us a blowout win.

The Braves released Melky Cabrera today. Thank goodness. He was terrible last year. How did he get to the majors and survive so long on the Yankees with such poor hitting form? One of the largest disappointments from 2010 was his defense. Takashi Saito was also released, but this was a planned maneuver since he signed his deal. Wishful thinking places Carl Crawford in left for the Braves for 2011 and beyond.
