6-18 on the road, 2-13 in one run games

This is a joke, right?

5/28/2008 10:35:35 PM

damn...last i heard they were on like a 4 game winning streak..that was like a week ago...but that shit^ is crazy

5/28/2008 11:00:10 PM

By the way, just so we're clear... Ernie and Jaybee I will paypal you both $25 if the Braves finish ahead of the Mets. I expect you to do the same should the Mets finish ahead. I don't trust any of the rest of you enough to make bet with...

[Edited on May 29, 2008 at 7:02 PM. Reason : yes, standings..]

5/29/2008 6:56:05 PM

and I assume you mean ahead of them in the standings... not in just the head to head record... right?

5/29/2008 7:01:38 PM

I'm down. And they have even less chance of having the better head-to-head record.

Of course, we could use the head-to-head record as a tiebreaker...

thats a glorified cookout shake

why even bother

5/29/2008 7:12:33 PM

Because I'm a poor grad student... and it's just for fun more than anything else.

^^ yes, h2h as the tiebreaker..

good pitching match up for tonight, the braves and glavine will start the Cincinnati series against one of the best young pitchers in the league Edinson Volquez http://atlanta.braves.mlb.com/team/player.jsp?player_id=450172

5/30/2008 9:55:09 AM

kotsay on the dl... outfielders are dropping like flies. looks like anderson will be activated

why in the world are they wearing the solid blue hats with the gray uniforms...

[Edited on May 30, 2008 at 7:21 PM. Reason : hats]

5/30/2008 6:53:02 PM

well diaz and kotsay aren't really cornerstones of our offense anyway. sure, they've played good, but blanco has stepped in for diaz and picked up his portion of the offense. it'll be interesting to see anderson, though. i remember him being projected to be our starter when we traded for him (though that's not saying much).

5/30/2008 9:49:05 PM

its a fucking nightmare on the road, i swear

5/30/2008 10:39:06 PM

according to ernies post, now 2-14 in 1-run games. Diaz doesn't matter, because Blanco has been playing well. Kotsay getting hurt is a big deal, because playing CF is a lot tougher than left or right, and I don't know who else is going to play OF (tonight, Norton, Blanco, and Infante played apparently). Whatever, more injuries, I guess I'm used to not having a full team. Maybe they'll all be healthy in September and make a huge run

5/31/2008 1:56:17 AM

im pissed this is terrible as said by charles barkley voice i cant stand losing all of these one run games

5/31/2008 2:39:13 AM

if this article holds water, 2008 isn't a bad year to lose our first round draft pick to the mets:http://insider.espn.go.com/mlb/draft2008/insider/news/story?id=3418073&campaign=rss&source=MLBHeadlines&univLogin02=stateChanged&action=upsell&appRedirect=http%3a%2f%2finsider.espn.go.com%2fmlb%2fdraft2008%2finsider%2fnews%2fstory%3fid%3d3418073%26campaign%3drss%26source%3dMLBHeadlines%26univLogin02%3dstateChanged
basically says 2008 is weak in top teir talent, likening it to the 2000 draft.

Quote :

"This year's crop better resembles 2004's low-upside college-centric first round. If you want to look at the glass as half-empty, this year's first round has more than a few things in common with the 2000 first round, which has produced three stars in Adrian Gonzalez, Chase Utley and Adam Wainwright, but which on the whole has been a dud. None of the 13 picks between Gonzalez (No. 1 overall) and Utley (No. 15) from that 2000 draft has appeared in a big league game this season, and eight of them have never appeared in the majors. "

5/31/2008 7:20:27 AM

they better score some more runs and get it to >1

5/31/2008 5:39:41 PM

i can't stand this announcers stuttering. its driving me nuts.

5/31/2008 6:22:45 PM

5/31/2008 7:41:16 PM

braves suck

6/1/2008 5:36:42 PM

so which jo-jo reyes are we gonna get today?

the jo-jo we saw in 2 starts put up 12 ER in 11.2 IP? (5/13 and 5/23)
or the jo-jo we saw in 2 starts put up 3 ER in 12 IP? (5/18 and 5/28)

6/2/2008 11:51:46 AM

so, bad outing, good outing, bad, good, seems like bad maybe they'll outscore the marlins

6/2/2008 11:53:23 AM

yes, but we are at home finally. should be interesting.

6/2/2008 11:57:12 AM

what a crummy weekend of braves baseball. and i watched every bit of it.

6/2/2008 5:10:29 PM

i swear its like night and day at home instead of the road

nevermind, its night and night

6/2/2008 9:45:57 PM

wtf? smoltz came in to close?

6/2/2008 9:48:52 PM

Not even Smoltz is above the Braves bullpen curse. I hope he's just shaking off the cobwebs.

[Edited on June 2, 2008 at 9:49 PM. Reason : ^ durr, where have you been for the past month or so?]

6/2/2008 9:49:10 PM

i can't watch the game, what did greg norton do on the error?

nevermind, i see it was infante, that piece of shit

6/2/2008 9:56:30 PM

I don't follow the braves at all, I didn't know he was closing. wow. weird.

6/2/2008 9:57:57 PM

I really didn't think he was gonna be back this soon. I thought it would still be a few days/week. Maybe he was a little rusty

6/2/2008 9:59:38 PM

He's been on the DL for a while, this is his first relief appearance. Party like it's 2004, I guess.

And fuck BrickTop for posting that long-ass link.

6/2/2008 10:00:26 PM

talk about luck

6/2/2008 10:03:42 PM

it's like Josh Anderson has his head up his ass

swings at first pitch
then doesn't advance on wild pitch


wtf

6/2/2008 10:04:32 PM

jurrjens pinch ran? i dunno whos on the bench but...jurrjens?

nevermind, i see he was probably one of the only players left with anderson needing to hit and miller needing to catch, probably not any faster than mccann

[Edited on June 2, 2008 at 10:09 PM. Reason : 4]

6/2/2008 10:07:05 PM

FUCK YES YUNEL



^he's one of the fastest runners on the team. period.

[Edited on June 2, 2008 at 10:12 PM. Reason : add]

6/2/2008 10:12:02 PM

yeah, i meant corky miller. i don't doubt that jurrjens can run a little bit, but he probably doesn't know what he's doing really..

nice, a win.

6/2/2008 10:14:33 PM

just got back from the game... woot woot, great game. Place went crazy when Smoltz came out, from what I could see his fastball looked great, but breaking stuff was hit hard

6/2/2008 10:35:21 PM

nice jack Chipper

6/3/2008 7:24:24 PM

shaping up to be another 1 run loss

6/3/2008 9:37:23 PM

good 8th inning and soriano was good in the 9th... braves by 1

6/3/2008 10:17:39 PM

Surely this scoreboard is wrong
