Of course it is. But our starters blow.

4/8/2006 7:24:52 PM

relax.. just 6 games into the season.. As long as the bats hold up the pitching will come around. Good match up tomorrow tough.. Smoltzy vs. Schmidt.

4/8/2006 8:29:53 PM

add another blown save to the bullpen...

4/9/2006 6:50:59 PM

How long is Chipper out for?

4/9/2006 7:20:11 PM

they said sprained ankle...I didn't hear how long he'd be out, don't think they know yet

4/9/2006 7:25:12 PM

it looked pretty ugly on the replay, hope he didnt tear anything.

Quote :

"Braves athletic trainer Jeff Porter said Jones' ankle is actually worse off than the knee. The Giants medical staff examined the knee and determined there are no torn ligaments and the joint is structurally sound. But replays show Jones' ankle rolling awkwardly on the play, and he did sustain a sprain on the outside of that joint."

now is the true time for the braves to work their magic. How will they pull it off this time?

4/9/2006 10:05:00 PM

Betemit is an adequate replacement untill Chipper can come back.

4/9/2006 10:06:21 PM

The day I wear my Chipper jersey...

I apologize to all Braves fans

4/9/2006 10:44:06 PM

maybe we can trade for andy marte

4/10/2006 9:52:30 AM

you mean the hard hitting andy marte

4/10/2006 11:29:58 AM

Jorge Julio for Joey Devine? Fair trade? Julio is a few years older but his ERA is only 1/3 of Devine's..

Though I'm not sure I want that parasite on my team..

4/10/2006 11:52:39 AM

i still believe in devine

i believe he should be in richmond

4/10/2006 5:23:26 PM

braves on espn vs. phils

4/10/2006 7:12:46 PM

here it is on Turner South

4/10/2006 7:17:12 PM

yeah this was a nice surprise

HW has finally slacked off a bit so I can watch some TV, and I get a Braves game on ESPN...nice

sucks that Chipper's out...gay SF conditions

4/10/2006 7:28:34 PM

Its on the radio too in the triangle area, that is IF you can pick up 1490am.

4/10/2006 7:58:04 PM

lol Chevy donates $96k

THAT THEY DON'T HAVE.

4/10/2006 8:00:52 PM

Come on Andruw, GRAND SLAM.. Do it..

4/10/2006 8:05:30 PM

dag...Jeff gave up a run there w/ that error

4/10/2006 8:34:35 PM

that was just a slack play on his part

4/10/2006 8:37:06 PM

just from the radio it sounded like Edgar made a hell of a play.. How did it look on TV?


#304 GG Andruw!

4/10/2006 8:38:35 PM

is it just me or does it seem like there have been a lot of HRs around the whole league?

Renteria has hit in every game this year(8 game hit streak)

4/10/2006 8:42:46 PM

HR Giles. First on the year for him. First RBI of the year as well.

4/10/2006 9:21:34 PM

good win

time to straighten shit out at home

Joey back to Richmond.

Quote :

"Devine struggled in the two appearances since being promoted from Richmond on Thursday. He's been bothered by a sore lower back that affects him each time he raises his leg during his delivery. "

4/11/2006 1:52:30 PM

here we go again

these announcers blow

4/12/2006 8:02:12 PM

4/12/2006 8:15:27 PM

not missing Estrada at all! GG Mcann!

4/12/2006 8:19:55 PM

How long you think Bobby is going to stay with Francoeur?

** also, the only game I can access on MLB.tv is the Mets-Nats game (not that I'm complaining).. maybe it's b/c I'm usign a proxy server so I'm not blacked out?

4/12/2006 8:20:08 PM

bobby stuck with langerhans through an awful 1-40ish streak last year

i'd say we still have a few more weeks of watching francoeur slap the second pitch to third base four times a game

he's really starting to wear thin on me though, let him get his hacks in richmond

i don't care what he did last year, no great player ever had an OBP 30 points higher than his BA

[Edited on April 12, 2006 at 8:27 PM. Reason : p.s. i'm still unimpressed by ryan howard]

4/12/2006 8:26:10 PM

Hey Ernie, are you sure that wasn't Kelly Johnson on a 1 for 40ish streak?

4/12/2006 9:38:39 PM

yeah durrrr

4/12/2006 11:23:06 PM

vs. phils 7:30 espn2

4/13/2006 2:12:10 PM

The Braves pitching is making me want to throw-up

and the Mets are playing lights out




[Edited on April 13, 2006 at 6:25 PM. Reason : didn't see the other post]

4/13/2006 6:24:10 PM

yeah, this isn't good. But last year started the same way. Smoltz had a 33 ERA after the opener against marlin (gave up a grand slam in the third I think).

We'll be alright...... I hope...

wtf starting pitching

4/13/2006 7:41:59 PM

GD IT!

4/13/2006 7:42:41 PM

Damn, already 3-0 Phillies

4/13/2006 7:45:38 PM

damn Davies.

4/13/2006 7:48:08 PM

HAHA, 5-0, Chase freakin' Utley...

4/13/2006 7:48:38 PM

ok so when do we start blaming Mcdowell?

4/13/2006 7:52:55 PM

No starter for the Braves has a win...incredible.

4/13/2006 7:53:52 PM

11 games to start the season is the record for the Braves starter NOT getting a win.. So unless we make a comeback while Davies is in we'll have a chance to tie that mark. 10 game hit streak for Edgar now.
