wow! gonzo a true competitor is upset that he allowed that run to score that will count against his teammate. it was a weak grounder and just a fluke play and hes still upset….
you have to love that!

Soriano probably told Gonzo to give one up one so he could get a save opportunity. Hopefully the Braves make it not a save situation here.

The Giants made us sweat a little that inning. Time to bring in Soriano for the 9th.

Gonzo didn’t screw that up. He got a Braves killer to ground right to a defender. Just dribbled to 3rd a little too slowly.

Gonzo gave up an infield hit to a still speedy Winn.
Winning the game is all that counts. “Looking good” is b.s., just win!

Freeman is 19 I don’t think he is quite ready yet, Big difference between where he is and the Big Show!

Would be good if STL could get a dang win against the ’stros tonight and start a hot streak going into and including this weekend’s play.

well at least the Braves aren’t the only ones capable of losing series to the Nats
Mets go down 3-1, lose the series (after scoring 6 the first game they only score 2 in the final 2 games)

At least Gonzo only let 1 inherited runner score. I suppose that is the most we could expect from this bullpen.

I mean Freeman will be ready by the All star break, so why waste money on Konerko.

McFann,
Brian already did his part today. Got to Lincecum early … and then called a great game for JJ. Plus, in that AB — one of those curveballs had to be ball. They couldn’t both be strikes.

What makes any of you think the Whitesox would give up Konerko without getting Freeman back in return?

If we had Prince Fielder we’d score a few more runs, but it would kill our sparkling defense at first…
My vote goes defense.

Rob from SC: Freeman is not Heyward-ready for 2010. You’ll see Freeman in 2011 more likely, sometime in the mid-season if he’s hot in Gwinnett. We have Kotchman through 2011.

chilidog75–
Oh yeah. ‘S cool. I’m not gonna start in on the, “OMGosh?? What’s wrong with my mann??” stuff…heck, I wasn’t expecting him to cream the Freak, anyway. It’s not like it was some “nobody” on the mound. He drove in a run, and like you said, called a great game.
(And yeah, couple of bad calls on the strikes, but what’d we expect?
)
Plus we’re winning, so what’s to complain about?

I said it last week, I’ll say it again, we need to get to the WS so people can see how ridiculous Soriano really is. Bah, lucky hit there, that’s what we call “slapping”.

Isn’t it funny how since the Frenchy trade we have taken off and the Mutts have gone entirely into the tank. Isn’t it funny that everyone was mad at Wren about Smoltz… well half a season gone and now a 1-3 record with a 6 or 7 era.. Isn’t it funny how everyone bashed Wren about Glavine… and now Hanson is undefeated and was clearly the right choice… In a nutshell winning baseball is fun to watch…
