Soriano is our best reliever. Gonzalez was used last night. Soriano hasn’t been used in a few days. So we use Gonzalez to start the 9th. Why? And can anyone think of a reason that Gonzalez is our closer? Other than he is.

Braves are winning series despite their faults. Strong starting pitching and timely hitting makes a big difference doesn’t it?
We’ve seen this formula before with the Braves and it can work.

DOB,
a lot of analysts are saying that if we fall out of contention he would be one of the first to go. do you think we would hang on to him and gonzo no matter what? or you think if we were far out of the race we would deal them both and rebuild?

Within 1.5 games of division lead. It’s time to fire Bobby and FW, trade one of the best pitchers in the game JJJ for the perennial MVP candidate Quentin (major roll of eyes), start re-building for 2010 since we can’t beat the perfect WS winner phillies and the mets (best team in majors since they run a lot!!)..
Anyway, mets have come back against the 9th inning human rain delay, Papelbon.

Ryan in Tn, I agree Soriano for closer, but no way do they need to trade Gonzo…NO WAY! He struggles at times, but that was the first time he’s gone without the save with more than two runs that he’s been given in his last 14, I believe they said. Chill on Gonzo.

Since when has Bobby done the sensible thing? Gonzo will stay the closer with Soriano and Moylan getting a stray save here and there. Bobby does not come from the school of “what have you done for me lately?”

Powell on the radio broadcast mentioned that it looked as tho Glavine wasn’t having much fun tonight. Don’t know if that had anything to do with any pain, etc in his shoulder or not.
I hope not. I am one of the slim number of people that is looking forward to seeing him in the rotation this season.

Nothing will change with the closers. If you think one of the premier closers in the game gets demoted for pitching in the rain to the team with the 2nd best record in baseball and getting squeezed by the ump at the same time, YOU’RE WRONG>

Lowell nearly hits one past the SS who dives to stop it. The slow Lowell is thrown out at first easily to end the game. Red Sox lose. Braves still one game behind the Mutts.
Braves have their ace on the mound tomorrow for the sweep. Let’s hope the Braves can push a couple of runs across for JJ.

Dave, as we know, the Braves won tonight. We have to be impressed how they’re playing during this stretch of games, when Chipper has missed time. It’s amazing to think that we are only 1 1-2 games out of first, with all the injury time that Chipper and Mccann have missed.
My choice for the poll of who starts Tuesday would be Tommy Hanson. I’d love to see this guy pitch. As you well know, having covered the Braves for many years, Hall of Fame guys named Glavine and Smoltz made their major league debuts on the road, because, from what I read, Bobby wanted them to do so, even when he was the GM, to avoid the whole “In front of the home fans” jitters.
It will be interesting to see what Bobby does.

Damn Bobby for putting Kelly in the leadoff spot yet again. Has the donk still not figured out that Kelly can’t hit worth a sou there? Ozzie for manager, he’ll do it right and keep those boys in line. We should all quit blogging till DOB makes Bobby change his stupid ways. Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result is the definition of insanity afterall, even with the hundreds of possible outcomes in baseball. Where’s that damn tar pot?

Damn Mets. Homerun in the top of 9th to take the lead(and it was an instant replay homer). And JJ Putz was absolutely hamered, but David Wright and Lus Castillo made a tremendous play to save the game.
Who say’s the NL East is worst than the AL East. Phillies are the world champions, and right now the NL East teams are beating the crap off AL East teams.
