lol, now that was funny. Dude’s initial reaction (he didnt act like he got hit) is what did him in. What a break for the Braves.

Paul Lentz, Not all women are needy. I also like to come home after a tough day at work and chill while watching the Braves game. That is why we have 2 TVs in our house, and my wife doesn’t mind my baseball obsession. She also has no problem with me spending a significant amount of money on my Falcons season tickets, nor does she care if I go out drinking with the guys. Just because one gets married doesn’t mean one has to give up the things you enjoy (except hooking up with other women, of course).

I am tired of the supporting the braves………..I understand you position about Jurrgens going good and wanting to see him get the win. However Bobby doesnt want to take the risk Jurrgens injuring him by running up his pitch count.
Damn, for all the great plays Escobar makes, he sure makes some boneheaded ones. He should know that the first obligation is to look the runner back to third, not trying to catch the runner off first base, especially when there is a runner on 2nd base.

Bobby should pull Esco right there and make a point. He has had soo many mental errors, yet Bobby does nothing. You don’t have to speak Spanish to yank him out of the game, he’ll get the hint.

They have as good a chance at scoring 3 runs as they did 2. And that is to say it’s a pretty remote chance.
Unicorn Jones

Might be getting close to time for the Braves to move Kris Medlen into 7th inning duties. Moylan, until he can consistently command his pitches, is always a dicey proposition. I think Moylan will get his command back with more work coming off of TJ surgery, but for the time being, it might be best to put him in lower leverage situations.

Fred…………….you are fortunate to have such an understanding lady. However, I simply cannot see myself only having sex with one female for the rest of my life. That is why I enjoy doing the “no strings attached” or “friends with benefits” kind of relationship. We can hook up and go out when we want to…yet go home to our separate ways.

You guys are the biggest bunch of negative f’ing nancys I’ve ever seen on a blog. “oh God, here comes Moylan! The sky is falling! Fire Bobby Cox!”
Two possibilities:
1) You people know nothing about baseball
2) You’re a bunch of lonely losers who know how to do nothing but whine and complain
