Good Blog, but i see it this way winning 5 of nine with basically Chipper and Yunel not doing anything at all in that stretch were lucky

But its a new page…new day…new game…Let’s go boys

Asked Chipper about his side, whether that was bothering him. “No, but now my wrist is killing me,” he said.
Any quotes about the Chipper/Gonzo “evil eye” from the other night?

Steve: I shoulda noted earlier that Gorecki’s in CF. Sixth Brave to start a game there this season. Infante making first start in the OF this season, in LF.

Gonzo shouldnt be giving anyone looks as many leads he has blown, hell also Chipper has been terrible in the field this year and having his worst defensive year in his career

Does Prado have an expected return date? I mean, the guy has headaches!! Get over it, tighten your belt, and get on the field.

So, how much longer we gonna play with a short bench? Why not DL Prado?

They are playing Andrew WK “Party Hard!” That brings back memories of Madden 2003!

Nice to have you back DOB…
So questions on your days off…Do you avoid all baseball related activities as much as possible???
I know you drop by the blog sometimes when Carroll is covering the games…but is Turner Field the last place you want to be on your days off???

Boston’s pounding the Yankees 13-1, and Papelbon and Rivera were both warming up a few minutes ago, since neither has pitched in a few days.

Look hes gunna bat better then Nothing Norton. He can play everyday in September and get expierence cause he will obviously be up next year. I dont think they will re sign GA so the platoon moves to LF Mclouth and or Schafer in CF and Heyward in RF. It could even look like McLouth LF Schafer CF Heyward RF and then have Church Diaz as bench role.

I see you don’t understand the implications of what Prado has, right now he’s seeing spots, incredibly dizzy, head in pain, think of it like the worlds worst hangover, that doesn’t end…

The guy fields every position, hits leadoff, some speed, hits for above average, with some pop. I love that guy.

I think I remember Kelly hittin a couple at the beginning of the year. I could be mistaken though.
Nova Scotia Steve

I dunno about anyone else…but I’m glad to see Kelly back in the line-up…I like the guy.
David O'Brien

Easy to forget, but Omar was very good as leadoff guy early, had one of highest leadoff OBPs in baseball that first month or two.
That was his sixth homer to lead off a game, first since 2004.
Tomahawkin
August 22nd, 2009
7:20 pm
KJ Just looks like a totally different hitter since his demotion to AAA
He actually has an idea of what he is doing at the plate now unlike in the first half
AndyC

Let’s get a lot of runs tonight and finish this one early.

Then he scores on the bloop…nice baserunning
