The Braves beat the Pirates tonight in 19 innings when Julio Lugo "scored" from third base on a fielder's choice. Somehow he was called safe.
Legitimately the worst call I've ever seen in a baseball game. The lack of accountability among MLB umpires is a joke, I can't wait to here what Bud has to say about this.

They've made so many mistakes I feel like we're years away from being a contender (yes I used "we for some reason.) The salaries coming off the books is a good start though.
Braves pick up Bourn without losing any of our big prospects. Liked Schafer but Bourn is going to be a definite upgrade in the outfield. Thank you, Wren.
Semi-mortgaging the future for a team who shouldn't be in "win now" mode. They're pretty much a mediocre team they're young. Their window goes well beyond this year.
There must be something up with Ubaldo that would warrant Colorado making him available. He has a pretty team friendly contract for the next 2.5-3.5 years, and while his season last year was overrated by a lot of people, he was still quite good from 08-10.
He hasn't been as bad as his ERA this year but he's given up way more hits than usual. His fastball velocity has dropped about 2-3 MPH on average, which can be a huge difference for a fireballer like him. His mechanics are odd too so obviously COL feared continuous/long term arm injury.
It very well might work out for CLE but it just doesn't seem like a necessary move for a team that has a pretty poor chance at making the playoffs.
Jimenez is still pretty young and now Cleveland has an affordable ace. I don't know much about the prospects they gave up, but as long as none of them are top-level prospects this is probably a good trade.

Im liking the Phillies move in picking up Pence without giving up Worly or Brown. The Braves trading for Bourn was a great move. Welcome to the 10000 loss club, Braves!
Tonight is the start of a very crucial series for the D-backs at SF starting only 2 games behind for the division. They have been playing mostly great ball for a couple weeks no and if they could keep that momentum going they could easily gain on SF. Debut of Marquis in game 3 is going to be crucial.
