If we only had a 1 or 2 run lead I wouldn’t feel safe but I kinda feel safe with this one..just little though cause I really don’t want to get ahead of myself ya know?

Kotchman comes through again. I don’t even think we can blow this one!
Oh and for all the unorthodox swings Matt Diaz displays.. He sure came clean on that one!

Guys, don’t be over confident, just be excited we’ve scored some runs. Braves need to watch how Lowe and Prado hit. they really helped to get Santana out of the game by working counts.

The Braves are going to the World Series!
Yeah right.
Better luck Santana next time or however that goes.
I wonder how many other baseball highlights SportsCenter shows before they get to this game. Obviously if the Mets and Santana got the win it would come on before any basketball highlights.
Not over yet though. Gotta add on.

Poor Santana. The ESPN announcers are like the presses should be stopped. The Mets let him down. They aren’t saying much about the Braves timely hitting tonight and Lowe stickin’ it to ‘em!

Well I want Joe Girard as manager. If the Yankees miss the playoffs again he will not be back. That being said I still think he is a great manager, just in a really tough division. (ERIC MO)
You’re kidding right? He totally overused the young Marlins pitchers and can’t get the team with the biggest payroll in baseball by far, anywhere? Sheeesh. Guy sux!!!

That four run rally could be credited to four members of the ALL SUCK TEAM. KJ (lead off single), Esco, (single), Diaz, (single, two rbi’s), Kotchman (single two rbi’s).
Cumulatively, those four have gotten 9,543 “you suck’s” from the crowd of whining, losers who pollute this board when we are losing.
I have just one cumulative FU for all of you. Enjoy it.

Hershisher is hitting the nail on the head. Lowe sat for 25 minutes and may be a little stiff late in the game.

Braves fans are finally seeing the Casey Kotchman that played in Anaheim, the one they were reluctant to give up…he is (similar to Garret Anderson) a great hitter that does not strike out and understands how to work a count, to go along with gold glove caliber defense. he won’t hit 40 HR but he plays the game the right way and does so many of the little things so right…a lot of bolggers are so willing to give him up because he is not a power hitter but give him a full year…I promise you will not be disappointed

I’ve been alternating between ESPN and P’tree..
The announcers were talking about Lowe sitting for a long time in the dugout during the Braves rally and how that could affect him negatively.
What a bunch of tools!
BTW…Why IS Chip Caray hated on so much? He might be dorky, but he’s a damn sight better than those tools on ESPN!

Johan Santana must just about hate the Braves. It’s not so bad that he wouldn’t have gotten the win, when he left with a 1-1 game. He’s possibly going to get the loss, after giving up 0 earned runs. Gotta love it.

Schafer’s Wafers-
I have watched the Angels play a fair amount over the years and I like the way they play…Mike Scioscia understands how to play the game and gets his guys to do it right- they always say Catchers are the smartest players and the best managers…
