Chipper on Melky's actions: "That's Melky and that's why he's not here anymore...It won't be forgotten"



Thursday's game should be fun.

7/19/2012 1:59:25 AM

yeah... that was kind of an immature thing to do, melky.

7/19/2012 2:57:45 AM

462


Also, Chippers next RBI will put him with the most RBI by a 3rd baseman in MLB history.

^^^ Expanding on that quote from the AJC:

Quote :

"From Cabrera’s rude gesture to fans in the left-field bleachers on Tuesday to his slow home-run trot and apparent suggestion to Heyward that he try to advance to third base on a flyout Wednesday, Cabrera has reveled in a black-hat role. At a ballpark where, in 2010, he rarely played anywhere near as well for the Braves as he’s played in an All-Star season for San Francisco. Fans weren’t the only ones who took offense. “That’s Melky, and that’s why he’s not here anymore,” Jones said. “He got a little happy when Blanco hit the home run. It won’t be forgotten.”"

Melky is cock sucker. I did not realize what a POS that guy was. Hope he gets one in the fucking back today.

Also to the new poster who says Braves fans are butthurt about losing a couple games to the Giants. No baseball is baseball, losing a couple games happens, having jackass former players act like a clown on the field gets fans butthurt.

It's pretty well-documented that Melky is one of my least favorite baseball players ever.

It's a shame that in the one year he chose not to play like a fat piece of shit, he still acts like one.

Uggla's 17 LOB was awesome

Uggla is beyond terrible. i want the stat on how many of those strikeouts are on called looking strike threes.

7/19/2012 9:03:51 AM

and to think, we're stuck with him for $13M per year through 2015...

7/19/2012 10:05:25 AM

Uggla was horrible through the All Star break last year too. I am hoping he turns in on int he 2nd half again. If not, then that contract we gave him is

7/19/2012 10:15:50 AM

Let's play Barves transaction bingo. Which is most likely to happen to happen first?

- Chipper to the 60-day DL with a knee injury for old time's sake
- Dempster acquired
- Greinke acquired
- Jonathan Sanchez acquired
- Rick Ankiel signed off waivers
- Martin contracts Hep C
- JJ to AAA (would be DFA'd if he didn't have options left)
- Minor traded for a bat
- The horse muscle transplants in Uggla's biceps rupture

7/19/2012 10:45:59 AM

I'll go with A or G

7/19/2012 10:47:37 AM

I hope not B, unless we don't give up much

7/19/2012 11:19:30 AM

Martin and Ankiel are most likely followed closely by Chipper. No one wants Minor and Greinke would cost too much.

^ MLB should step in and suspend his ass for that classless crap. Happy the Braves managed to win today, but only 3 hits Milky and Posey can get the fuck out of Atlanta and please don't come back. Dudes lit the Braves up this series.

7/19/2012 3:49:26 PM

was listening on the radio driving back from TN but they said on his triple that he did a little twirl around the base while pointing in the air then did his suck it wrestling thing

this guy still needs an interpreter? jesus christ.

7/19/2012 4:12:34 PM

Probably for the same reasons Pedro used an interpreter

[Edited on July 19, 2012 at 4:14 PM. Reason : Maybe not. He could just be really fucking stupid.]

7/19/2012 4:14:05 PM

^ I think it is pretty easy to say that Melky is just stupid. I guess that crotch chop shit he was doing all during the series is some lame crap the Giants have been doing all season. They like to draw attention to their junk so the other guys will stare at it apparently. Sounds about right for a team with Buster Posey on it.

Wow what an amazing comeback in a huge game. Props to uggla for that ridiculous play to end the game.

7/20/2012 11:38:22 PM

That game last night made me cream my pants.

7/21/2012 9:33:46 AM

First time I've seen people in a bar in Atlanta cheering loudly for the braves since the playoff series against the giants. The drunker I got, the better the braves played.

Just hope it carries over into today's games. Ben Sheets and Delgado starting, hmmmmm.

7/21/2012 10:14:55 AM

At a bar, and hear the game, what was the deal with the first base that they switched out?

7/21/2012 1:20:55 PM

meant "can't" hear the game



Chipper nailed that shit. And Sheets again? Never would have predicted this.

7/21/2012 4:01:56 PM

Rosenthal says the Braves are now the favorite to land Dempster and, also, bow ties are cool.

7/22/2012 9:00:02 PM

Demp's ready.

7/22/2012 9:10:06 PM

How long into his first post-game interview does Chip ask him to do his Harry Caray?

[Edited on July 22, 2012 at 9:19 PM. Reason : Chip can do his Skip and it'll get all weird]

7/22/2012 9:19:07 PM

Sucks that the Braves dropped the last two over the weekend. Delgado can be great for a few innings and then magically turn into Livan and look like complete dogshit. No surprise that JJ was awful yesterday. His career may be over. Hope the Braves can unload him on someone and get some value.

If the Braves do get Dempster, I hope it is a trade where the Braves give up Minor, Pastornicky, and JJ. That would be the best trade in history. Even greater than the Smoltz or Fred McGriff trades.

Quote :

"The Atlanta Braves are close to acquiring pitcher Ryan Dempster in a trade with the Chicago Cubs, sources told ESPN.com. The Braves and Cubs have been working on the deal that could be completed as early as Monday afternoon, sources said."

7/23/2012 2:22:43 PM

Done according to Cubs scources

7/23/2012 2:26:19 PM

If it happens, it will be interesting to see if he immediately signs an extension with Atlanta. It seems that's what they're looking for, even though he's expected to re-sign with Chicago at the end of the season.

7/23/2012 2:26:42 PM

Quote :

"The Braves and Cubs have agreed to a trade that will send Ryan Dempster to Atlanta, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports (on Twitter). The right-hander can veto any trade, but he is not likely to demand an extension in order to approve the deal, according to Jon Heyman. Randall Delgado could be going to Chicago in the deal, Bowman adds."

Randy!

[Edited on July 23, 2012 at 2:28 PM. Reason : Fuck Bowman. I won't believe it until DOB tweets]

7/23/2012 2:28:12 PM

Tell me about Mr. Delgado.

7/23/2012 2:30:33 PM

He's still a AAA guy. Looked really good against the Nats over the weekend, though. #3 or #4 starter eventually.

[Edited on July 23, 2012 at 2:32 PM. Reason : ]

I like that he's under team control until 2018. That's big with our current situation.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFffffffffffffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

DO NOT LIKE

We're not getting a 2 ERA from Dempster. Regression to the mean is going to bite us in the ass. At 35, I'm afraid Dempster could only get worse - is it a stretch to say he could end up going Lowe's route?

Demp wouldn't be a bad addition, as long as it meant not dealing from our current rotation. In that scenario JJ would get the boot. Shit, me replacing JJ would be addition by subtraction. Then the rotation woudl have been Hudson, hanson, Dempster, Delgado, Minor in some order.

But we're dealing Delgado, basically replacing him with Dempster. I don't see how that improves our rotation all that much. Hudson, Hanson, Dempster, Minor, JJ(?). That rotation really doesn't look all that much better than the one w/ Delgado.

This is just a dumb trade.
