langerhans is turning into a stud

4/13/2006 9:58:49 PM

BOOM

4/13/2006 10:03:03 PM

HE'S BACK!

Yes, I'm really glad. I was feeling bad for him for a while batting .068.

It was a first pitch swing that is so patently francoeur.

jeff rulez

4/13/2006 10:03:42 PM

It wil do wonders for us if we can pull this out. Davies was looking like Joey Devine out there

4/13/2006 10:04:32 PM

first inning was horrible. 5 runs on 6 hits. The next 4 1/3 innings he pitched a 4 hit, 1 run ball game. I'll take that. He calmed down a bit.

We went through this last year in the beginning. Our starting/relieving/closing pitching all sucked. Just the closing pitching sustained.

4/13/2006 10:10:56 PM

everyone have their rally caps on?

4/13/2006 10:11:58 PM

hell yeah braves... both the team and francoeur make comebacks tonight. down 7 - 3... that'd be a hell of a comeback.


gg laroche on that catch.

4/13/2006 10:14:32 PM

4/13/2006 10:23:36 PM

but hey, I think this may be a good turning point. It has to be if we're going to chase the marlins.

4/13/2006 10:25:12 PM

Francour is already up to a .200BA, he's gone 3-for-4 with 3 homers in the last two games. You kids talkin about sendin him to Richmond...this is a french slap in your face.

4/15/2006 4:08:12 PM

Vintage smoltz tonight. 9IP, 4H, 0R, complete game shutout.

We need more of that from the rest of the rotation. It's sad, that with only a 2 run lead in the 7th, 8th, and 9th, Cox was probably scared to turn it over to the bullpen so he made the old guy pitch the entire thing.

4/16/2006 1:03:48 AM

that's exactly what the staff needed though. I expect hudson to come through next with a great game and it'll catch on...this rotation has the makings of being very very strong, give it time it will work.

4/16/2006 12:04:20 PM

Looks like Frenchy is really heating up. GG Andy on HR #4, Thompson with the arm and the bat today. Betemit still filling in well for Chipper..

4/16/2006 1:57:47 PM

yeah, thompson is doing awesome. RBI-double and a shutout through 6.

HERE WE GO BRAVES

4/16/2006 2:44:46 PM

I could've hit that hanging changeup out of turner field...

come on bullpen...

Why did they take thompson out with him only pitching 74 pitches? I figured that even though he had a good day at the plate, that they could've put a DH in if they were going to take him out...

But I'm not bobby cox.

4/16/2006 2:50:57 PM

fuckin A

4/16/2006 2:52:27 PM

... Ray looked so good early on... after a HR and 2 2Bs, he's not looking too sharp...

wish thompson were still in...

4/16/2006 2:54:57 PM

I think they were trying to save Thompsons elbow, he had some problems with his elbow in spring training.

4/16/2006 3:08:34 PM

at that pitch that struck out jordan...

4/16/2006 3:22:05 PM

[place holding troll]

4/16/2006 5:36:09 PM

Thanks, NYM410... I'm sure you'll get your troll chances this coming week

4/16/2006 7:37:06 PM

We'll see the next 3 games if the mets are even worthy of TALKING about dethroning the Braves.

4/16/2006 7:42:44 PM

yay for the braves bullpen.

4/16/2006 9:59:30 PM

i never trusted this ray fella

4/16/2006 10:13:53 PM

Renteria is out for atleast the Mets series and probably the whole week if not more (read it on a AJC article this morning). Great fucking timing to have the whole left side of the infield injured

Maybe it is the Mess's year.

4/17/2006 3:26:00 PM

Well, betemit isn't exactly a slouch at 3B/SS... if starting pitching does alright, then we'll be fine. We'll split at best.

4/17/2006 3:30:08 PM

betemit is a lousy SS

why do you think we brought in renteria

4/17/2006 3:57:34 PM

Yea, I'm thinkin without Chip and Renteria, not to mention running out Davies and Sosa, we're gonna have problems with this set. Not sure it'd be a fair comparison at this point.

4/17/2006 4:03:10 PM

he's decent. He's still young. Give him time. His offense is doing quite well.

4/17/2006 4:20:47 PM

Betemet is a good backup at SS. The only problem is that we have to play Orr at third
Orr was fine last year as a pinch hitter, multi-defensive option, but he is not a guy we need getting regular ABs in an important series. Oh well, here's hoping Sosa can find his magic and Andruw can do what he did last year and carry the offense.

4/17/2006 5:29:42 PM

^ he already is. 1RBI in the 1st.

FIRE LAROCHE.

I want mcgriff back

4/17/2006 7:18:27 PM

betemit plays short like bigfoot

but i'll take him as long as we don't put tony pena jr. in the lineup

[Edited on April 17, 2006 at 7:19 PM. Reason : ]

paul lo duca agrees with me

[Edited on April 17, 2006 at 8:35 PM. Reason : ha, next person to tell me betemit is a decent shortstop gets smacked]

4/17/2006 8:30:00 PM

he's stinkin up this game

4/17/2006 8:36:05 PM

who's your daddy

4/17/2006 8:40:19 PM

I just want some starting pitching...

4/17/2006 8:49:45 PM

don't we all

who do you think we'll trade

my money's on a deal involving saltalamacchieahahdadta

4/17/2006 8:58:47 PM

come on braves! don't keep sucking like you have been

4/17/2006 9:20:13 PM

yeah, saltamacchia is too valuable in AAA. I think he'll go. We sured up in the catcher position.

We just have to have some arms... both starting and relieving. We have the most runs scored in baseball so far... and we have a sub 500 record. That should be a telling stat about our pitching.

4/17/2006 9:25:25 PM

Diaz and Pratt in the 9th...for fuck's sake.

4/17/2006 9:45:05 PM

well a loss is a loss, but if they can only score 4 on us i feel just fine about our chances

and why the fuck were the mets fans booing pratt
