Counsel got it done, our 2nd baseman didn’t. We have a bunch of guys we hope will step up. We need to find some players hell this is like rooting for the darrel chaney team. lol

It looks like the pitching is going down with the offense which equals the same things we saw in ‘06,’07, and ‘08. It’s the same, folks. Nothing has changed except for a few better pitchers but the offense is the same, maybe worse. I’d trade KJ like right now. He’s just plain awful. I’d almost take JF over that little pu***, that’s what KJ is, a big pu***!! Prado? Gimmie a break! Chipper hates what he sees and probably over exagerating injuries to avoid being apart of this mess.

Have no fear. Three months from now, when the Braves are 37.5 games behind the Wild Card. KJ will be hitting like Ty Cobb I bet KJ fininshes with a 280 Batting Average

This team is just dumb, how do you make these error, baserunning mistakes, and how do you throw a meatball across the plate with Fielder up to bat?
Almost all our loses are off DUMB mistakeS.
They’re not bad by many means, but they play like morons.

bravos & McFann – I didn’t say I was criticizing Chipper….like I said I’ll stand up for him and believe all his ailments are legit. But it is getting a little tiring of having the haters call him soft, saying he doesn’t want to play everyday, etc.
When his last 2 ailments are a hurt toe and dizziness, well….that’s like adding gasoline to the fire.

You know, I just gotta ask. For the past few years, with the exception of a couple isolated times, this team is just dead. No emotion. What could be the reason. I mean I can see maybe a few times over the course of the long season to be flat, but all the freaking time? That is atrocious to have a pro team walk through the motions year after year. And one other thing. Chipper gonna have another day to day injury. Sure is great to have that taking up a huge chuck of your payroll.

If his hurt toe was anything but his big toe it wouldn’t be a problem. Now the dizziness you can’t play around with. Now regardless of a LH or RH he should play tomorrow since he came out tonight, and since Hanson is pitching, and since we haven’t scored in sooooo long.

that lineup doesn’t work because chipper is dizzy, he will be out at least three games, not enough to go on the DL so we can get a player up, just a few games to make us shorthanded.

Big Chief, I would think the Braves would call up Barbaro Canizares before Freeman if Kotch went on the DL. Freeman is too far away still, and a little bit of an audition for Canizares sure couldn’t hurt the braves if they want to use him as a trade piece. But I agree that he needs to go on the DL if he’s still hurt. We can’t go with the bench like this

You know who else also misses Jack Buck? Me. Because he was better at his job than his son and didn’t make gay commercials.
I want another shut-out. I can’t wait.
I gotta say, I really thought that throw by Fielder was going over the catcher’s head. Looked like it was twenty feet in the air.

bravos – I’M NOT GETTING ONTO CHIPPER ABOUT HIS AILMENTS! I said that I’m tired of hearing people complain about how soft he is. I fully believe that his toe kept him from playing in the past, and that if he could go out he would.
But when you say “Chipper can’t play because he hurt his toe” it sounds like he’s a big wuss. But just so it’s clear….again…..I believe it’s legit and it really kept him from playing.

rabid because our 2 emotional players, well esco is told he’s too cuban or something and frenchy since last year could’nt hit a beach ball with a tennis racket.

Big Chief – not a bad idea to DL Kotchman but no way it is Freeman. He is 2 years away at least and does not need to be rushed. Maybe the Braves will give the big Cuban a chance at 1B. I do not think it could hurt now. He could do well and at the least become trade bait to an AL team for a DH
