Maybe Frenchy has vision problems, cause if I’m not misatken, doesn’t he seem to hit better during the day?

Love the stealing of bases. Stealing is not just about speed. So when people say the Braves don’t have the players to steal bases, I think we now know that isn’t true. The Braves need to continue to be aggressive, they obviously can swipe bases and help make up some for a lack of power.
Have to give credit to Bobby for at least not sitting back all the time and waiting for someone to drive the ball.

The comment about Joe and Boog(er) being like The View is right on. This back and forth crap about the Philly Enquirer’s citing a blogger’s speculation about whether or not Ibanez (or whatever his name is) is ‘juiced’, basically wasted an inning. Don’t know if ‘the booger’ really believes his point, but it would seem to be the same thing as speculating if Boog’s hair style is derived by using the same ‘gel’ as Cameron Diaz in ‘There’s Something About Mary’? I’d put this on their ‘facebook’ but I don’t want to get ‘em started about that lame subject.

“You look at most of the good ones, they were pretty good from the start,” said Hudson, who enjoyed the rarity of winning 31 of his first 39 career decisions. “There might have been a little bit of a learning process and some growing pains along the way. But their struggles usually weren’t a two- or three-year deal.”

Maholm has thrown 14 more pitches than Vazquez…67 to 53, so maybe Vazquez can stay sharp and get to the 7th or 8th.

Tomahawkin – it’s not just that….Turner Field’s been playing the same tired, boring songs and sounds for years. And not to mention that extended G chord on the organ at the end of every inning. What conversation is going on in the sound booth?
Guy 1: Braves are down by one in the bottom of the 11th…what should we play?
Guy 2: The Adams Family theme, definitely.

When Kotchman and Prado are both feeling a little better, I wonder if KJ gets to go on the DL for “gas” or something. Seems to be the modus operandi right now, whoever stinks the most, gets a bogus trip to the DL.

Mitchell

Kelly is in shut-down mode.
He’ll probably hit ten homeruns and thirty rbi’s in september when we’re fifteen games out.
Or we trade him so that doesn’t happen.
If I know anything it’s that one of these days Kelly’s going to hit a homerun, and then he’s going to hit another and then maybe a double or a triple and he will do this for many days and perhaps then he will stop and eventually return to his current state.
I know this will happen, I just don’t know when.

That the set of signs they use with a man on second, to keep ‘em “secret.”
You don’t use your regular set when the other team can see them.

WestCoastBrave: I am convinced that song selection is the reason for Kelly’s slump.
For those watching on TV…was it a hard hit ball to 2B or just a weak grounder?
