The Braves Are Leaving Their Highest-Paid Player Off The Playoff Roster
Braves second baseman Dan Uggla made $13 million this season, more money than any of his teammates did. That seems like a pretty OK deal for a second baseman that can hit 22 home runs in 448 at-bats. Except that Dan Uggla also sucks, and now he sucks bad enough to be left off the Braves' roster for ...

Sunday's season finale was actually the fourth-best attended game of the year at Marlins Park.
