Nomar is back in the swing, having a nice weekend at the plate. But the real question - if he was ready for the Braves, why on Earth did he skip that marathon game against the Yankees. No doubt he has taken a lot of criticism for missing that game and then turning around a playing as soon as that series was over. But Nomar is a gamer and a competitor, so he should know what's best for the team. I'm sure it killed him NOT to be on the field.
