Where’s all the haters?
Yay Adam!
I mean, I hate when people say ‘oh where are the haters’. I’m not allowed to have an opinion? Or do you just think I’m going to go hide and never come back because Roachy is 2-2? I’m glad he’s 2-2, because duh, it helps my team. I hope he hits 90 home runs! I hope he gets MVP! I hope he breaks DiMaggio and Williams record – all in the next 2 months! Because all that helps the braves. But that doesn’t mean I have to be a fan of the trade or the player. So please, sit down with your ‘where are the haters’ foolishness.
AWESOME! Woowooo! Greg Freaking Norton proving my point lol.

OMG, what a gift. Russell Martin makes two bad plays. Throwing error, then dropping that throw.
UNBELIEVABLE………………………
The Apocalypse is upon us. Both Hernandez and Norton get hits on back to back pitches. I guess what they say is true……..”Even the sun shines on a blind dog’s A$$ every now and then….anyone can get lucky and win the lottery”.

In a surreal turn of events, Diory and Norton have combined for as many RBI today as Chipper has. So Chipper must really suck after all…

Norton will hit .400 the rst of the year. No sarcasm- market correction. He ain’t a .120 hitter.
.225 sounds about right, which is decent for a guy who only pinch-hits.

How ’bout them apples from Norton?
Heath but the fact that the Braves are 3 games under during day games and 4 games over during night games actually does mean something….usually McCann is not in the day games.
Mm-hm. Braves record when BMac starts is 41-35.
But hey, we’re winning now, so it doesn’t really matter.

Clearly we’ve all been bitching but obviously this is about as important a game as there is.
Maybe this team doesn’t deserve a little luck and we just got our fair share but we almost never do.
I’ll take as many errors as they want to give us.
I seriously cannot believe D-Lowe can only go 6 innings against Wolf. Whatever his name is.
Are these pitchers who we got for their number of innings pitched ever going to have a complete game.

I love how — with one strikeout — people are criticizing McLouth again.
Guy has two hits, a stolen base and two runs scored already today. He can’t get a hit every time.
Paul Lentz

CrimeDog……….Greg Norton has “taken a lot of crap” because he DESERVED IT. Dude has SUCKED A$$ at the plate for virtually the whole year. Am I glad that he got that hit? Sure. However, he CHOKED IN THE CLUTCH more times than I can count in most of his other at-bats.
Now, let’s see what Moylan can do.

Why do you hate Adam? Just kidding. I don’t like it either when people say that. I knew you would be pissed about the Kotch trade. I’m neutral on it. You know I wasn’t much of a Kotchman fan. But, we are all entitled to our opinions and just because LaRoche has 1 good game doesn’t prove one way or another whether it was a good trade or not.
chilidog75

McLouth didn’t get a jump on that at all — but that ball was smoked anyway.

And think, if McCann hadn’t gotten called out on that 2-2 pitch in the 7th, Hernandez and Norton might’ve scored on his next swing.
