July 16, 200817 yr So did Uggla have the worst possible game or what? 0-4, 3 K's, an inning-ending GIDP with a runner on 3rd which would've ended the game in spite of his 2 errors in the bottom of the same inning, and then another error later for good measure. Geez. You kind of feel bad for him.

Geez. You kind of feel bad for him. The man is not, nor ever has been, a quality defensive 2B. Think Josh Fields at 2B.
July 16, 200817 yr According the the Elias Sports Bureau yesterday Dan Uggla became the first player in major league history to record 3 errors, 3 Ks and 1 GIDP in the same game. (not just All-Star games but ANY game)

There was a poster on this site that wanted to move Fields to 2B in Charlotte "to see what we had." I cringe at that thought. We aren't THAT desperate for middle IF prospects.
July 17, 200817 yr The most amazing stat last night....Ryan Braun, Youk, and Ian Kinsler = 3 jewish all-star

Geez. You kind of feel bad for him. Even though I wanted the AL to win, I've followed the Marlins since their inaugural year as my "NL team". I felt real bad after Uggla made those two error immediately following his GIDP with teh bases loaded. When the NL got out of that inning I was actually kind of glad so he didnt have to be the goat. No one scored b/c of any of his errors
