did he really bunt? i've heard managers will do that to try and get the hitter seeing the ball better, kinda like a dunk for a slumping shooter

6/27/2007 10:12:33 PM

And Kelly Johnson said he didnt really have much to say for him sitting and Escobar playing.........umm kelly.....look what happened tonight

6/27/2007 11:28:05 PM

^^

he attempted a bunt, endedup popping up to the catcher.

6/28/2007 9:00:23 AM

^ ha ha Andruw Jones can't even bunt the ball now.

Kelly Johnson has pretty much sucked except for his great start and one other hot six or so game stretch. I'd rather just see Escobar playing because he is a more dynamic player and better defensively.

Thank God the Braves had the Nats this week.

6/28/2007 11:34:29 AM

i think bobby is slowly slipping escobar into a platoon role at second

6/28/2007 3:01:35 PM

^ I read some rumors on AJC that Bobby may be trying to showcase Escobar at multiple positions/different spots in the lineup to improve his trade value. The Braves may move him for a starting pitcher. If that happens, I will be pissed - trade Johnson, his ceiling is way, way lower than Escobar's.

6/28/2007 3:35:37 PM

I'm so fucking upset right now that the 3 year weighted averages for ERA+ are in the Phillies and Braves favor. What ever are we going to do?

Throw out the Phils since their rotation is nuked... and in order of lowest --> highest for comparison

1 Hernandez 2.77 -- Smoltz 2.98 (adv: Mets)
2 Maine 2.87 -- Hudson 3.29 (adv: Mets)
3 Perez 3.14 -- James 4.29 (adv: Mets)
4 Sosa 3.79 -- Carlyle 5.14 (adv: Mets)
5 Glavine 4.12 -- Davies 5.42 (adv: Mets)

p.s. - this is only for Ernie

it's not like i used those numbers as the end-all, be-all reason why the mets would fail this season

that was just one of many reasons

6/28/2007 4:14:08 PM

Oh and ....

DAMN I'M GOOD.. called the Ollie Perez resurgence.. Baseball America should hire me as a part time writer. I'm that good. Though I thought Pelfrey would be better and didn't think Sosa would ever see the bigs... Pelfrey starts his turn around tomorrow night.

Delgado for Salty straight up? You bite?

[Edited on June 28, 2007 at 4:16 PM. Reason : x]

I'd bite

6/28/2007 4:23:10 PM

^your tongue hopefully. No way in hell salty for delgado

6/28/2007 4:26:11 PM

^^ Horrible idea - Delgado is overrated piece of shit.

As for Oliver Perez's resurgence, it wasn't like you were the only person talking about this NyM410. I read the same stuff in fantasy articles that he'd be a potential sleeper.

If we are bragging too, I stated multiple times in this thread that the Braves should have had Harris on the roster from the beginning of the season. I am so smart!!!!

6/28/2007 5:10:07 PM

enough of the jackin off......nice to see the braves offense comin around.....6-0 Braves in the top of the 5th against the marlins.

6/29/2007 8:47:17 PM

12-1 in the 9th.

Gosh damn....25 runs and 36 hits in the past 2 games........where was that the past few series?

6/29/2007 10:26:55 PM

and we lose half a game

6/29/2007 10:41:54 PM

if theres one negative on the night.....Brian McCann.......0-6 with 4 K's......ouch

6/29/2007 10:50:02 PM

you are back to playing shit teams thats why

6/30/2007 12:20:24 AM

With the way the Mets have played in June, its a fucking joke that we werent able to take over first.

6/30/2007 12:54:45 AM

with the way the braves have played in june, it's amazing the mets aren't 20 games ahead

be thankful we're in the race at all

6/30/2007 1:08:33 AM

True man, different way to look at the situation.

6/30/2007 1:27:15 AM

hey, lookie here, a game on TBS....one we can actually watch....

6/30/2007 2:30:56 PM

ah.......fuckin wickman.....hes done this a few too many times already this year for my tastes

6/30/2007 10:24:53 PM

Good old Benitez...

though he got screwed with one horrid call and one questionable interference call in that inning...

It's funny to me that when the Mets play bad the Braves play bad and then the Mets get hot and the Braves get hot...

At least the Mets schedule is ridiculously easy in July...

6/30/2007 10:34:24 PM

on another matter......Baseball Tonight has gone down the shitter.

Eric Young, the spanish guy......wtf, its hard to listen to. They're laughing more than they talk......

6/30/2007 10:41:27 PM

goin for the 2nd sweep in a row today....can the boys do it with carlyle on the mound

7/1/2007 1:17:02 PM

braves mounting a comeback against the fish in the 8th. only down one with no outs and a man on first. they're gonna lose though, because the mess did too

7/1/2007 4:47:28 PM

andruw with the predictable 6-4-3 double play, inning over

7/1/2007 4:52:21 PM

So I turned it to TBS to see if Maine made the AS team and what do I see? Fucking Armando Benitez trying to screw the Mets for the 1,000,000th time. Only Andruw Jones' suckiness can overcome Blownitez magic.

You guys still paying Gonzalez? IBB the go ahead run? Genius..

fuckin bob wickman

7/1/2007 5:25:04 PM

God fucking damn it. No one around the god damn country gives a shit about this game. Show us the fucking selection show... I have things to do but want to see this..

7/1/2007 5:31:45 PM

i told that fat fuck to eat a dick and my fiance got mad at me

7/1/2007 5:31:50 PM

^u shoulda told her to suck a dick, then took her head, pasted bob wickmans picture to it, and punted that shit across the room

7/1/2007 5:35:59 PM

that would've gone over swimmingly

7/1/2007 5:37:39 PM

^well....atleast you wouldnt have been in the dumps about wickman anymore

7/1/2007 5:41:01 PM

7/1/2007 5:52:40 PM

woo fuck the braves

7/1/2007 5:54:57 PM

yeah, wickimania is over. Great job Escobar did fouling off a bunch of pitches then driving in 2 runs to take the lead in the 9th. GG to Andruw for #13.

7/1/2007 6:23:18 PM

congrats to Smoltzy and McCann being named to the All-Star game....

Renteria got jobbed.....too many good shortstops in the NL

7/2/2007 12:24:11 AM

^ McCann doesn't really deserve it (~750 OPS), but the players voted him in. Renteria deserves to be there, but yeah there is definitely a bunch of great SSs this year in the NL.

Wickman fucking blew it yesterday to fucking Miguel piece of shit Olivio. The Braves have got to take advantage of opportunities when the Mess actually lose. The Phillies blow goats.

Bob Wickman is so fat, even jenny craig can't help him

7/2/2007 8:42:45 PM

wickman is listed as 240 on the roster. I am guessing that was with one foot off the scale
