The Kind-Hearted Smart Aleck

I've been an Atlanta Braves fan for quite a number of years and while it appears as if the Braves are in pretty good shape to make the playoffs once again - this time as a Wild Card - I've remained extremely disappointed with second baseman, Dan Uggla. Last night, in the bottom of the 13th inning against division-leading Washington, the Nationals had runners at 1st and 3rd with one out. A ground ball was hit right to Uggla, who was playing in on the infield. The runner at 3rd base ran on contact. Uggla had to either try and get a double play by going to the shortstop at second or go directly at home. Based on how he was positioned - the best odds would have been to throw to home. What did he do? He froze. He froze like an ice sculpture being visited by the president. The run scored and that was the ball game, which then placed Washington a full six games ahead of Atlanta with about 40 to go. Sadly, his glove work hasn't been the most disappointing aspect of his game. No...
