Well thats the Ballgame, Kamakaze Once again deserved a better fate for giving a chance for his team 2 win…
I said it before that Plain and Simple this is a display of Uninspired baseball tonight…
I know this game isn’t over but they seem like they are just trying to get to the next off day. I don’t boo when I go to games but I Would if I was at the game tonight. It’s one thing to get shut down by great pitching but it’s another to don’t care about getting Punk’d by the Jubroni teams of the league

Brian McCann should be given a raise for that at bat. That’s just a great hitter with a great at bat. Wonderful. McFann can atleast be happy with the double. No RBI, but a great AB.

cabravesfan, Cheerwine is actually pretty good. It’s just a “wild cherry” flavored soda, made with real cane sugar (in the glass bottle version) instead of corn syrup. I had the same reaction as you until I tried it. It’s been around for over 90 years, so they must be doing something right…..

Guys we have to consider the circadian Rhythem. The Body clock of the players. They are a good team and I see alot of you criticizing about our play. Remember we swept the first place Bluejays. The reason our offense was bad this series is because we were playing at 10pm-1 am local time. The players felt sleepy, their body was asleep. If these games were in the east then we would have won 2 out of 3. We were just unlucky because we were playing these games when our players are normally asleep. Imagine someone waking you up at midnight and asking you to do your duty. I bet you wouldnt be as efficent or as good at midnight as you would be during your normal circadian wake cycle.
So guys lets relax. I know we got swept but its not due to the lack of talent but due to the circadian rhythem.

I can’t believe we actually scored three runs tonight. That’s kind of amazing.
I think in spite of how much many of the guys out there wearing Braves jerseys suck we will kick some D-Back @$$. And not just because of DL and JJ and probably Vazquez. Just a different environment and while we may not have won there very much either we did beat ‘em up pretty good last year. We have to at least finish this road trip 3 and 4 so we can come home and get medival on the Cubs.
Wow, I can’t believe I just referenced a fifteen year old movie. But they Cubs got lucky and beat us up last year but they suck now and are probably going to get swept by the Dodgers so we gotta bounce back and start the homestand off right and hopefully also hit Alfonso Soriano in the ribs and have Yunel go out there and throwdown on Ted Lilly.
You know, I get why people are saying Blanco wouldn’t be any better than Schafer in center… actually I don’t. Schafer absolutely sucks and is not or wasn’t ready to play at this level. It’s a joke. He can’t even make contact. It’s one thing to hit the ball at people or in the air so you can’t utilize your speed but he doesn’t get on base, period.
We’re not as bad as we looked the past three day nor as good as the games before. Of couse the pitching plays a pretty big part but even still we have to make some changes soon or not only are we going to be out of the race we’re going to have to dismantly the team again at the trade deadline.

For all the talk of the Braves deficient bats, the bottom of the rotation has probably hurt us more than anything.
THE BRAVES ARE NOW 4-12 IN GAMES NOT STARTED BY LOWE/JURRJENS/VAZQUEZ
That’s .333 baseball. To put that in perspective, if they played .333 baseball all the time, it would translate to 109 losses.
The Braves have been very, very bad with Kawakami, Reyes, or Medlen on the mound.
The good news is that this won’t last. Between Glavine, Hanson, and in about to months, Hudson… the Braves are, IMO, likely to play winning baseball in the second half of the season with the 4/5 starters on the mound.
He just have to survive in the meantime. Here’s hoping. Obviously, a adding a bat will help a LOT. But getting the back end of the rotation fixed will help immensely.

Mitchell – Last year in AZ was awesome but this looks just like the year before last. Same pattern… Spanked in SF, hop on a plane to Phoenix, spanked in AZ.
I hope that doesn’t happen but I haven’t seen anything that tells me it will be better. Especially tonight. Monday all goes back to Javy’s poor decision in the 5th (and Jerry Meals behind the plate). Yesterday goes back to Medlen walking Lincecum. Tonight we just got the snot beat out of us and probably lost Chipper.
AZ has Justin Upton, Mark Reynolds, and Gerardo Parra all hitting the snot outta the ball. And I haven’t even mentioned their pitching. It’s going to suck being a Braves fan in AZ for the next 4 days.
