Braves Win on Bloop Single Scoring Runner from 1st

No, this headline won't make any sense until we explain it and you see it.

The Atlanta Braves who seem to have the number of the much-hyped Washington Nationals, won a bizarre, attempted replay and error filled game Friday night on a walk-off bloop single by Justin Upton.

Why is this noteworthy?

Upton's 120 foot pop-fly dropped to the ground in front of National's rightfielder Bryce Harper. Meanwhile, Braves pinch runner Jordan Schaffer was off and running on contact because there were 2 outs, managed to score...all the way from 1st. The Braves win in 10 innings, 7-6.

In the grand scheme of things, the win wasn't that big a deal, but seeing someone score from first on a short hit like that is always impressive.

The case of Jordan Schafer and the Marijuana Peanut Butter Cup

You know, there are just some things you can't make up. This story is one of them.

Current Houston Astro and former Atlanta Braves centerfielder Jordan Schafer was arrested early Tuesday morning for possession of Marijuana. He's not the first athlete to get arrested for that nor will he be the last.

It's what he did and where some of the illegal substance was that is drawing the attention.

According to ABCActionNews in Tampa, Schafer was pulled over just after midnight when a police officer saw him smoking a joint while driving his Land Rover, there were 3 others in the car with him.

That's when it gets funny.

Not only did Schafer admit to smoking the drug, police found more of it. In a plastic cup in the car...and in not one, but 3 Peanut Butter cups.

No really. Peanut Butter cups.

The full story from WFTS-TV is RIGHT HERE

Schafer, who grew up in nearby Haines City was once a "Wunderkind" prospect for the Braves before being traded to the Astros during the 2011 season. And yes, he's had some issues before.

In 2009, he missed 50 games after testing positive for HGH.

No telling at this point if there will be any repercussions...other than we are assuming will be an onslaught of Reese's Peanut Butter Cup jokes.
