Obligatory Rookie of the Year Post

Freddie Freeman got robbed! Just like Heyward last year! Freddie had an awesome year! How could you not vote for Fab Five Freddie?!? It's a gyp! It's a sham! It's a... wait, who won the award?

Yeaaaaaaaah! Kimbrel! Craig's rookie of the year! Best relief pitcher in the NL! Even with Fredi trying to rip his arm off all season! WOOOOO CRAIG KIMBREL ROOKIE OF THE YEAAAAR!

September 17th is the last game I'll be able to make this season without having to figure out a way to get off work so I'll probably be skipping this in order to get to the stadium in plenty of time. Last game I went to ran out of parking and we were over a half hour late. Not happening this time. I might camp out the night before. The Beachy auto is tempting though. Too bad Medlen won't be there, I'd show up late for the game to get Med's auto. Didja hear? Kris might be back for the postseason! W00t!
