McFann, I’m sorry. I’ve been a little too busy to keep up with the blog. Just saw where you asked, “where’s Tom O’Hawke”, several pages back. So I figured I’d jump ahead and catch you before you retired for the night.
I’m sorry to ask you to do all that, but it has been on my mind since it happened. With all the time that has gone by, I don’t remember exactly when it did happen. Besides, I figure you have those stats handier than anyone. He seems to be snapping out of it, or maybe it’s just Coors Field. But the splits still have to be ugly, right?
What a meltdown. Bases loaded, 1 out. Scored tied 7-7 bottom of the 9th. The Pirates closer has faced 8 batters this inning, only gotten 1 of them out.
Francoeur was traded partially cause his attitude. could not be taught. did not like getting benched did not like getting sent down last year. there was talk that the clubhouse was more like a “country club” being that Frenchy is always talking about golf he could be a reason for that.
I swear If the Blow-pen Blows This Game I’m gonna have a Hissy!!! Tomahawkin
Hell yes dude, throw that remote. I had to go out to WalMart and buy another half dozen for the second time this year. Can’t break anymore chairs, only got one left to sit in now.
We just cant catch a break with these guys that Bobby falls in love with. I guess that we need to see either Moylan getting hurt…or……Frank Wren trading him. Because there is NO WAY that Bobby is going to quit sending Moylan out there in the 7th inning.
Damn. We catch a break with Bennett breaking his hand, Kelly getting hurt, and Francoeur being traded. Now if we can somehow jink Moylan. Seeing Bobby throw him out there is disheartening.
What a messed up 15 minutes. The Phillies score 5 runs in the bottom of the ninth to snatch a victory. Meanwhile, we are on the verge of giving a win away.
Good Play By Dee to save the game as of now…watch us blow it in the 9th…I don’t trust our blow-pen in this park and against this squad they’re going up against!
this is what happens when the manager pulls the starter after 6 innings every night. The starters don’t have it in them to go any further because they are not used to it and the bullpen stinks because it is overused!

Braves have missed opportunities to pile on lots of runs this game; yet, Joe and Boog are giddy about the single-run they scored last inning.
This could’ve been a blow-out, instead, we’ve gotta hope that Moylan, whomever, and Soriano have it tonight.
We should still win; but, this thing could’ve been over.
