Way to put in betemit again at a crucial situation. He again strikes out without touching the ball. Great call leyland

10/9/2011 12:59:25 AM

The swings werent even close

10/9/2011 1:04:45 AM

lol, it's game 1 dude. calm down.

10/9/2011 1:06:28 AM

I was saying this last series too though. We're fucked on offense if we have to bat raburn 2nd.

It should be

Jackson
Mags
Peralta
Cabrera
Vmart
Raburn
Avila
Inge
Santiago

10/9/2011 1:14:51 AM

Now we lose mags for the playoffs. What the fuck

10/9/2011 4:30:31 PM

Greinke (who is sort of a weird suicidal twat) on Carpenter (who is sort of a boss):

Obviously doesn't realize that he plays on a team with Nyjer Morgan and Prince Fielder

10/9/2011 4:33:05 PM

so without mags now what to do???

kelly back to right field... bat him 2nd??? Not sure, posting my lineup below... i agree to keep betemit off the plate. he was strong in the regular season but hasnt handled the playoffs well at all

jackson CF
santiago 2nd
peralta SS
cabrera 1B
vmart DH
avila C
raburn LF
kelly RF
inge 3B


thats my 2 cents, but i'm gonna trust leyland's antics for tomorrow

Dennis Eckersleys hair might be the most hilarious things ever

10/9/2011 8:07:36 PM

it's right up there with la russa's pete rose.

10/9/2011 8:49:53 PM

what a start, should have driven in a couple runs but give up a couple instead...

10/10/2011 4:45:01 PM

God Bless America is fucking gay

10/10/2011 6:51:54 PM

i cant take this shit ryan perry

10/10/2011 8:36:07 PM

holy shit i didn't realize that was terry francona.

10/10/2011 8:40:47 PM

i dont care if it is the ALCS they need to

10/10/2011 8:42:44 PM

that was the shittiest play ive ever seen

10/10/2011 8:43:03 PM

Yeah, I'm nominating that one for a 2011 Melky Award

10/10/2011 8:44:20 PM

cruz hit that foul ball a fucking mile

10/10/2011 8:44:51 PM

he hit that one a fucking mile too

10/10/2011 8:45:44 PM

that's one way to end it

10/10/2011 8:45:46 PM

He hit that fair ball pretty well, too, I might say

10/10/2011 8:45:55 PM

i like the bowling helmet thing down the line to homeplate before running...actually had a nice curve

10/10/2011 8:48:05 PM

how's that the first postseason walkoff grandslam in history

thought Joey Devine gave up like 2 of those against the Astros that year

10/10/2011 8:50:06 PM

that was NOT a good play on that ball, wow.

10/10/2011 8:58:41 PM

^^ Devine gave up a solo walk off HR to Chris Burke against the Astros back in 2005. That was one of those games that still makes me want to puke. Braves blew a 5 run lead in the 8th and 9th innings and then the game went to the 18th when Burke hit his HR.

What you are thinking of is that Devine gave up grand slams in each of his first two professional outings (only pitcher ever to do that ). That was also in 2005, but neither happened in the playoffs.

10/11/2011 7:50:31 AM

Just reading Chris Burke's name still makes me want to barf

10/11/2011 9:26:50 AM

^ let's see what other names I can come up with that would make Braves fans want to hurl:

1. Eric Gregg
2. Livan Hernandez
3. Jim Leyritz
4. Randy Johnson
5. Dan Gladden
6. Lonnie Smith
7. Kirby Puckett
8. Kent Hrbek
9. Kyle Farnsworth
10. Kenshin Kawakami
11. Dan Kolb
12. Hunter Pence

Ernie, please feel free to add some more.

Couple weeks ago I started a Melky Cabrera All-Stars post in the Braves thread, but I ran out of steam

Maybe when I get around to 2012 thread

That said, 13. Raul Mondesi

[Edited on October 11, 2011 at 10:50 AM. Reason : 14. Jack Morris, 15. John Wetteland]

[Edited on October 11, 2011 at 10:53 AM. Reason : 16. Chad Curtis]

10/11/2011 10:47:13 AM

Yeah Jack Morris is a great addition. I guess you gotta throw Brooks Conrad up there too considering he lost the NLDS by himself last year.

10/11/2011 1:10:22 PM

How could you list 16 names and not name Craig Council??


Victor Martinez is dead.

You really like the Internet, don't you?

10/12/2011 11:16:10 AM

I love Ron Washington and Michael Young, but what is he still doing batting 4th?

I know you have to give one of the best contact hitters in baseball a chance to get hot, but where the wisdom in keeping him in the 4 spot with 1 hit and no RBIs all postseason, while taking chances away from Beltre, Napoli, and Cruz, arguably 3 of the hottest bats in the game right now?

Case in point, last night Michael Young had 4 plate appearances to Cruz's 3. Wouldn't Washington rather have had the guy who hit 2 homeruns the night before up in the top of the 9th with the game on the line?

10/12/2011 12:01:58 PM

^^2nded... dweedle really milked that

10/12/2011 12:03:58 PM

blow me, both-a-ya

10/12/2011 12:07:36 PM

looked like Philip Seymour Hoffman to me

10/12/2011 12:13:04 PM

the woman behind him looks like she used to be a michelle obama impersonator, but got depressed and fat when she lost the job out to someone that looked more like michelle obama

10/12/2011 12:22:01 PM

didn't you know, dweedle is from the internet

10/12/2011 12:23:50 PM

Josh Hamilton is a monster that cannot be stopped. When will he be satisfied? When every resident of the state of Texas dies at his hands?

10/12/2011 12:28:14 PM

nvm they're all playing today!

Lineup:

Jackson
Raburn
Cabrera
Martinez
Young
Avila
Peralta
Santiago
Inge

10/12/2011 2:33:52 PM

If porcello throws as many high sinkers as he did vs ny, i say we lose 12-6

If not, we win 6-4

[Edited on October 12, 2011 at 2:40 PM. Reason : X]

10/12/2011 2:35:02 PM

id rather see santiago and raburn switched in that batting order but...

in leyland we trust

10/12/2011 6:00:58 PM

Please STOP Ernie. He is my friend (or soon to be). they responded to my letter about me naming my son after him and said if I came to Texas after post season he would get me a team signed bat.

10/12/2011 7:14:51 PM

obvious bait is obvious
