P-Town Brave (5:03 pm): “Oh you got me there…too bad I was also calculating August and September of 05 AND the playoff series the Braves threw away.”
That’s some might fancy footwork there, but the fact remains that you shot yourself in the foot by totally making up your initial claim, presented here in its entirety: “We’re 20+ games under .500 since the end of 2005…”
The Braves are 16 games under .500 from the end of calendar year 2005 thru last night. If you count from the end of the 2005 regular season (which would then include the 1-3 NLDS loss to Houston), the Braves are 18 games under .500. Not “20+”.
“BTW, maybe you can tell me what we’ve done in the SB dept the last four years, because thats mainly where I went for that…”
So you summarize Cox’ “20+” year managerial career on the basis of his last four years only? Yeah, right. Or since you say he hasn’t changed since 1995, you think the last four years are representative of the previous ten? Yeah, right. My first reply has already refuted that B.S.
“Only an idiot wouldn’t know that we have had Otis, Deion, Ron, Marquis, and Rafael…”
And only an idiot would logically paint himself into the corner of somehow having to maintain that “Otis, Deion, Ron, Marquis, and Rafael” stole all those bases they did in open and direct defiance of Cox, who “plays station to station baseball, no stealing”. No wonder he kept benching and suspending them. (sarcasm)
“Cox DOES in fact sit and hope for the 3-run HR…I’m NOT the only individual who feels this way…”
No matter how many times you repeat it, you still got no facts and no credibility to back it up.
“I’ve forgotten more about baseball than you’ll ever know…”
Perhaps. For sure you’ve forgotten more about baseball than you ever knew. It shows.
“When you come after someone, you should know to come a little stronger…”
Why play your aces when a deuce will do?
“OR maybe just watch the game tonight and learn a thing or two about Bobby and his managing…See what happens when Omar or Jordan get on base and camp out at 1st.”
Hmmmmm — I see what you mean. Stolen bases and hit-and-run plays. Whaddaya know?

The Braves of the 90’s wouldn’t have tolerated such lack luster performances as we have been seeing the last 3 or so years. The Braves, for some reason or the other, seem content settling for underachievement.
I swear…if you look in the dug out, judging by the looks on the player’s faces, they look like they don’t care about losing. There is no emotion in their play. Bobby’s countless ejections get old after a while.
Don’t know if anyone’s noticed or not, but, judging by the declining attendance, fan support is falling way off. Liberty Media doesn’t care about making the Braves contenders. They are just some sort of tax break to them.
There is no “hometown feel” to this team anymore like there used to be. It’s frustrating watching these games night after night, anticipating that “this could be the day things turn around” and they never do.
I’m still befuddled how MLB ever approved the sale of the Braves to Liberty Media. When I heard the news that the sale had been done, I just about knew that things weren’t going to be the same. It’s sad what the Braves have turned into.
Until the Braves get better ownership, things are not going to change. All of this starts at the top, and trickles down.

I’m glad you mentioned the attendance. A little over 53,000 for a three-game series against the Cards?!?!? I couldn’t believe all the empty seats I was seeing. I don’t care what time of the week/season it is. I mean, are the Braves that dependent on 15-20,000 Cards fans on summer vacation to help fill the stands? The crowds were just embarrassing.

(How do you bold and italicize on here??? I miss the old format)
But anyway, if the Braves continue to exhibit p!ss poor performance, we will start hearing crickets chirping again at the Ted. I remember back in the late 80’s at old Fulton County, and watching the games on tv, you could hear the crickets because it was so quiet.
It’s only April, folks, and the attendance is already falling off. I kind of figured this would happen if the Braves started stinking up the town again. I bet the Gwinnett Braves draw better. I know they’re not playing that good…but at least they are MINOR league players.
You figure at the MAJOR league level the Atlanta Braves would play with more charisma and pride, and Chop Chop, I think it was you who mentioned about Escobar and someone laughing it up…that p!sses me too!
There is nothing funny about losing. Its almost like they accept losing as a part of everyday life. Well, I agree about not going to any games until they start acting like Major Leaguers again instead of Major Losers!

2. Pudge is hitting like .235 and Ross is hitting over .300. Yes Pudge has like 40 more AB, but he only has 7 more hits than Ross so far; same amount of doubles, only 1 more homer and 2 more rbi. In 40 More ABs.

This team will have several actual crowds under 10,000 later this year. Don’t go out there people, watch this garbage for free on television and vote with your wallets.

How silly of me to doubt myself.
I nailed it. I’m just gonna keep talking about myself.
I have to say, I don’t know how JoJo and Vasquez don’t pack it in and call it a career after pitching like that and not getting anything in return.
I don’t care that he gave up five runs, they were all bull***. It shouldn’t have ended like that. Even JoJo has a right to be pissed. I’m not saying he is, I’m sure he’s happy they won but jeezus.
We’re gonna eventually get Brian back and maybe they can get their acts together but when we get down to the end the offense is going to have only themselves to blame when we’re watching someone else win this division. I don’t see anybody else running away with it and all things considered we could be doing a lot worse but you can’t lose games like that.
Considering the Cardinals are technically better than us in most ways, or at least in the standings, they still got lucky. We may have gotten a cheap one last night but we could have won all of these.

TnBrian,
Please read this, my friend, please. Like I said in an earlier post, I am a devout Braves, Falcons, and Dawgs fan (could care less about tech)
I have followed the Braves ever since the losing days of the late 80’s. I rode that fun ride that was the 90’s. And now, I am enduring the last 3 years of whatever you want to call this.
Dude, it is hard to be positive about a team, when the team doesn’t seem to care about being competitive. Yeah, there were flashes of some of that tonight, especially with the aggressive baserunning. But, it just chaps my @ss when I see Yunel grinning with his jacked up teeth after making one of his many outs.
I also get frustrated because I know the potential this team has, and they don’t seem to care. And, back to ownership, they don’t seem to care.
Remember a couple of weeks ago in Washington when the GM of the Nats said it wasnt fair to the fans because of the team’s performance? They did a little shakedown (didnt do any good, really).
But, what I was saying, and please dont take this the wrong way, I come on this blog to talk Braves baseball and to b!tch about the problems. But, I also talk of accolades as well. Scroll back a while and you’ll see where I talked about liking Kotchman and Vasquez.
I also come on here to vent, because my wife doesnt care about me talking about it with her
.
Please, be more tolerant of folks coming on here to get things off of their chests. Just because I complain, it doesnt mean that Im not a fan.
Tolerance, please, my brotha

guys like mackay mcbride, odalis perez, horacio ramirez, davies, betemit, langerhans, thorman, etc. never lived up to their billing.
couple that without being able to find guys like victorino, uggla, werth, cantu, among others when they were either on waivers or available in the rule 5 draft makes you wonder who exactly is evaluating talent.

Necromancer, first of all, I feel your pain about your wife not wanting to talk Braves baseball with her. My girlfriend does the eye roll thing when I start in on my team. Anyways, I’m pretty much with you on this team these last few years, but I still find it hard to believe that Liberty Media influences the outcome of this teams success the way you make it out. I could be wrong, but maybe not.
Yunel seems like a strange dude with a little too much emotion. I hate to say it, but if he keeps that up, he won’t be a Brave for long. But, what do I know? I’m just a fan…

Hey All What Happened witht the offense tonight…? Was it bad Luck, Overaggressiveness, Bobby-Ball or all of the Above…?
And what was the Attendance…?
I can’r believe we got owned by the Cardinals because the offense is Still on Spring Break, WTF, Now I’m gonna get Clowned by all those Bandwagon Cardinal Fans that I went to school with in Arkansas…
Man The Cardinals Have Owned us over the last 3 years…We used to kill them earlier in the decade….

I’m runnin wild tonight, so one more post and it’s beddy time. About Yunel, you have to think it’s hard for him as an emtional guy/player to be around his teammates and not understand half the things they say. That probably just ads to the frustration when he or his team is in a slump. Sometimes you just don’t know what people are really going through in life that makes them act the way they do.

Can Kevin Garnett swing a bat? He’s definitley a tall guy. Taller than Richie Sexson.

when all you are doing is looking like a belligerant retard! NECRO
Oh my, look who’s calling somebody a belligerent retard. Mr/Ms Belligerent Retard him/herself. That whole thing has to be made up cause nobody could possibly actually be that stupid and ignorant. God wouldn’t do that to anybody would She?

uga-brave–about the Falcons consecutive winning thing..just have to wait til September, sheesh!
TnBrian–I have to admit I’m not a fan of corporate absentee ownership…this question looms in my mind, though…why didn’t Liberty allot more money this offseason so the Braves didn’t have to worry about staying under budget.
I might be wrong in this assumption, but, during the 90’s, didnt the Braves have a higher payroll when they were winning? I dunno…
I look at teams like the Cardinals and Redsox who have good ownership and see their success. As a Braves fan, Im a little jealous of that. I just wish things were different, know what I mean?
once again, Im sorry for the comments…no hard feelings…

I didn’t mentioning the “laughing it up” stuff, Necromancer.
That stuff doesn’t sidetrack me anymore. Maybe it will tomorrow, but as of this moment, not anymore.

Dear Brave’s Fans,as long as Bobby Cox is manager of Braves,we can forget it….It’s time for a change and it shows on the field and in the dugout.Why does he get a pass?If this was the Dawgs,Tech,or The Falcons,there would be soooo much b…h… and complaining in the press,on talk radio and don’t mention message boards.We can’t live in the past and to be honest,with the talent Cox had to manage,we accept the minimum.People talk about competition makes you better,and I guess with Cox,he’s been told he can stay as long as he wants to,so why should he be concerned.Is the PRESS asleep at the wheel,is management blind,and are we so in love with Bobby that we accept what he’s been serving these past years?
