the fact of the matter is we are up 6-1 BUT they are saying our offense stinks…unearned runs or not the only one that really wasn’t driven in on a hit was the one on the error by David Wright…..it was a hit by Diaz but the error allowed the run. Whether the run is earned or unearned you have to hit the ball to drive em in.

You’re absolutely right. ESPN’s analysis of the Braves’ weaknesses is accurate. But what are the Mets weaknesses though? I haven’t heard them touch on that yet. Hmm now why is that??

No kidding about the traffic flow issues at dodger stadium…I like Anaheim’s microbrew selections (hey, a $9 beer is cheap when someone else is buying). When did they put a Canter’s in at Dodger stadium?? I LOVE Canters!! I have not been there in 2 years (missed the series last year)…Canter’s? Really??

Maybe they can lock the BRAVES up in a hotel in downtown Atlanta when they get home. Don’t let them sleep in their beds at home. Don’t let them see the wife-girlfriends-kids. They’ll think they are on the road and maybe will win some games at home!

With that dreadful throw from Beltran on the Francouer sacrifice fly, the Mutts put an exclamation point on a very poorly played game. Braves up by five and threaten to get the sixth on a wild pitch.

TnBrian,
Why is that when non-Brave announcers do what they are paid to do and analyze the game and the players, they are taking shots at the Braves? If they are taking shots by analyzing, then they called Reyes out on his boot. Wright out on his boot and Beltran out on that crazy throw at the top of the inning!
I think some Braves fans have a hard time hearing the game without the Braves homer announcer filters. Now that being said, I would rather listen to the Braves homers if it’s Joe and Boog. Chip makes me want to throw something at the TV. If it’s on SS or FS, I would watch it there. As I said, I like it without the hometown filter sometimes.
And one final thought. I don’t see where the announcers belittle the non NEW YORK-CHICAGO-BOSTON teams, but there is no doubt they surely do find more superlatives to spout out about teams from those markets when they are playing well.
I do give you that point.
PS
Now the announcers are calling out the Mets on their attitude and desire so don’t say they are picking on the Braves!

cabravesfan: That was put in last year I think. It’s deep on the thrid base side, almost left field, of the field level. The entire field level has been remodeled. It is more roomy and easier to walk around down there now. They have a few other places inserted in, but Canter’s is the only place I really cared about.
