I’m sorry. DOB… Can you explain to me why B Mac was sitting in the dugout tonight battling “dizziness” or “vertigo” or whatever the hell his excuse was, yet he is capable of coming in and driving a ball to deep left center? Does this team want to win? Is Bobby Cox a manager or a day care teacher?

cabravesfan, you got me. Good thing he didn’t try to bunt.
He’s fast. That’s about the only thing he’s got going for him in that spot.
We have two guys on deck who could tie it up or win it. He needed to find a way to get on base or did he not?
Nothing else is working for the love of God. Any sort of contact is better than that.

wow can you say this team has just quit. they have quit on the fans and the city.. there needs to be a change now.. we are kidding ourselves this team will make another post season run… not with cox as our manager.. for the 2nd time in a row.. Josh Beckett shuts out the atlanta braves.we cant score 1 run off him yet every other team is able to score on him… and 3 straight losses.. wow this team truly blows and sucks.. Im sorry its time for a serious change and it starts with bobby cox .. i said it before the game even started they would be shut out again. You saw him 6 days ago. learn from that and see his stuff and take notes. ill prepared and an awful approach to him again…. im done routin for this team this year. Go Rays. They have a payroll thats 3 times as less than the braves and there 5 games over 500 and competing for the playoffs.. lets go big Ben.. The braves need a player like ben zobrist who gives it 100% every nighttt…. this braves team please is a joke.. from the Gm , fat cox to the players …game over and season is done…

It amazes me that no one wants to put any blame on these players. When they strike out, it’s Bobby’s fault. When they make an error, it’s Bobby’s fault. When they give up a HR, it’s Bobby’s fault. Give me a break. Do you fools even watch the games? Face it, this just isn’t a very good team. If it bothers you all so much, why continue to watch?

Good nite all. I can’t take this team serious anymore. I believe we all have better things to do with our time.. I hope the Braves can muster some strength for the rest of this season. The clubhouse is going to get ugly soon. I just want to see some fun baseball again, I remember watching the Braves in the world series in 96 when I lived in Africa. I was so excited to see them try at least. This is not baseball anymore nor is it even intelligent. Change must come to Atlanta and soon..Go Braves & at least try to care for those of us who care! If you guys want action,, watch the Mets and Yankees play….At least you get emotion and excitement. I wish Atlanta would havw some of that!

Okay, then here’s another question. What do you hope to accomplish by spreading your gospel? You have zero pull and neither does anyone here. Like it or not, Bobby isn’t going anywhere. Your act is sooo tired and it wears on everyone. I find it hilarious that you truly believe that if Bobby is canned this team immediately becomes a playoff team. The players aren’t that good. There is no help on the way for our offense. I wish in the future you would just post your name with no comments when Bobby does something you disagree with. That would show everyone that you are here and you disapprove but it would be so much less annoying. People understand your stance but you can’t change anything. If you could, you would have already.

Hopefully Frank Wren is thinking a trade. Nothing big but something little. I’m ready to depart with one of the combo of Frenchy or KJ. Was willing to wait to the postseason but I don’t think I can watch this much longer. KJ’s value is dipping by the game. I prefer to see him go first just so we can give Prado a chance to prove himself. How are we still in this. If the Yankees win tonight they will be as many games back as we will. This division is horrible. We may very well be able to win it if we make a trade because its just that bad. If Frank Wren thinks we have a chance and makes a trade I hope its nothing like the Tex trade for Holiday or something. I’m tired of KJ’s struggles and Garrett Anderson’s offense does not outweigh his defense. Does anyone know how Brandon Jones is doing in AAA? We need someone who can move out there.

lets face it, this home stand is going EXACTLY the way we all thought it would
I for one genuinely thought this would be a winning homestand. That loss to the Sawx on Sunday was not the way to start it. I thought we would win that series.
We should and would have won the last series if not for Joba the Hut (hilarious) nailing KK in the neck. It’s been downhill since. They’re better than this but we can’t win without BMac or Yunel and now possibly McLouth. We definitely cannot win with Diory and KJ out there.
It clearly started out in our favor but the last three games, it hasn’t really been an even playing field.
That off day on Monday might be pretty crucial… why am I still making predictions?
The Phillies do seem like the perfect team to be coming into town. I don’t know if we’re going to have our %$#@ together by then but if we do, I think we might be able to make something out of this damn homestand after all.
I don’t know. I honestly don’t know, but the Phillies suck, I feel we match up well against them. If any of these games have been must-win, those would be must-win or blow your freaking brains out.
I have hope. Somebody tell me why.

Personally I knew this would happen to our pitchers. Trying to pitch a shutout everygame is not good and most pitchers tend to make mistakes when they are nitpicking and trying to be perfect because they know one run will cost us the game. I knew they would eventually hit a bad stretch which is why it sucks that we have wasted so many good performances by them. Josh Beckett can have all the confidence in the world and throw his game because he knows that if he messes up or if they actually get to him his offense will pick him up. Our pitchers can’t pitch with that confidence and they rarely pitch with a lead so we really don’t know how they would pitch if they had a lead. Every pitch has to be perfect. I hear some experts say its not the number of pitches that get to pitchers as much as it is the stress of the pitches. If thats the case our pitchers are probably crazy by now.
