please chime out if you don’t actually think chipper and mccann are the reason we are in the high .400s and not the high .300s.

Not the same guy, Braveheart. That Jared was lucid. This current total waste of air makes Paul Lentz look almost coherent. And I’m pretty sure the original Jared didn’t use a little girl’s spelling of “cojones”.

And two pitches later, one of those lesser lights I mentioned, Feliz, does it to the Braves AGAIN!!

So, our closer (or one of out two closers) gives up two homers back to back, and it’s because “cox sucks”?

Will our offense pick him up, guy has a bad night but our offense can’t expect a 1 run lead to hold up against the Phillies. We should have had more runs off Blanton. Even the good guys in the pen aren’t going to have it all the time.

Entering tonight, righties were hitting .205 off Gonzalez, while lefties were hitting .241. That could be why? But yeah, Cox is to blame of course.
Doc Holiday

Im just tired of Gonzalez…………..
Soriano is our closer…………dont need 2 closer…………deal him and get us a bat.
A bat can get the runs he might be saving us on any given week……………
Gonzalez is always in trouble………….never a 1-2-3 overpowering………………also getting us nail biters and now giving us this crap…………send him ……….. KJ + Gonzo + JoJo = Slugger + middle reliever
Original Jon

Wayne, please stop being such a sycophantic jerk. You are a coward with gang-type mentality. History is marred by people like you. I can assure you that our team would have a much better record with different lineup cards from a smarter manager. You would rather suckup to guys like Braveheart and Bobby Cox who is killing our team with his bad decisions. As I told you before, I *honestly* find this very sad. You prefer our team’s results to be FAR below what they should be, rather than voice your own opinion against Bobby (really, I think you actually support his coaching, which means you probably wouldn’t even consider evaluating whether his decisions hurt us). PLEASE, for your own sake, stop with the sycophantry and please think and voice your own thoughts. Thanks, and *YOU* have a nice night!
“While some of us get frustrated with the tactics of Bobby Cox, most of us realize that no manager is perfect, and that Bobby has attributes that others don’t. Is he the best manager for this team? That is not for you or me to determine, but for Frank Wren.
When Frank wants my opinion, I suspect he will call. We have somebody on the blog ocassionally that you would relate to. His name is Robert. Look him up sometimes.
Now, everybody knows you don’t like Bobby Cox, nor do you want him to manager one more inning. We get it.
We also get it that you are a bit shallow in your baseball IQ. So, a bit of friendly advice: Stoppped trying to match wits with some of the best of the blog (I certainly don’t include myself with those distinguished persons, but I know better than to call them idiots).
Otherwise, have a nice night!”
