Chipper is having a down year for the amount of gms we have had em in the lineup. But check out the walks, He is 9th in the Majors!
And he’s 3rd in IBB in the Majors!! only behind Adrian Gonzalez and Pujols
He get pitched around alot more than people think.

IBC root beer and cream soda is definitely the best. In glass bottles.

You can tell from that interview Chipper just did that he doesn’t care anymore and he’s happy that he’s hitting so badly

*Dodgers could beat COL tonight with Kershaw pitching
*D-backs could beat AF tonight with Haren pitching
We could be in 2nd place in the WC tonight and gain ground on Col. Can’t wait to see what happens of the next 5 hours… — Heath
Yup! Gonna get exciting alright!

I see that happening as well Chipper will have a good night, he’s due. Chipper will have like a 3-5 gm stretch with 2 or 3 hits a game then go 2 for 25 or somthing its happened like 3-4 times this year.

You Cox defenders never seem to amaze me. Everyone can see G-Anderson loafed to the ball he should have caught. So, of course the “decider” made the “decision” to put him in there. Sheesh!

JJ really makes life hard on himself by putting people on but has to work extra hard to get out of it. JJ needs to pound the strike zone but he does get out of it.

Hey Dogs
Sarsaparilla : is a root with a pungent smell. I believe the drink of that name has it as the primary ingredient
Is also one of the common ingredients in root beer and similar drinks

Bobby Cox gets all the credit for that K and fly out. I mean, if its his fault for a single to left cause he put Loaf in there (wonder how he got that name?), then he should get credit for throwing JJ out there and leaving him in.
Way to go Bobby! Great pitching management there!

Why is LaRoche always buried in the order? I thought we traded him for power, which he has been doing quite well so far in that category.
Rodney Derrick

Our pitching coach was probably telling JJ to accept the fact that he has someone in left field who is awful in the field. Even Pat Burrell or Adam Dunn would have caught that. But hey, Turbo is a professional hitter. So the message to JJ was do not give Garrett a bad look; accept it and don’t let it affect the pitching.

Too bad we can’t count on the AJC to provide quotes about these on field incidents! (The recent Gonzo/Chipper “evil eye” comes to mind.. not a word.)

Throw stikes JJ. They have the worse run differential for a reason.

Our pitchers are really getting fed up with the way Chipper and Turbo are playing in the field. Being old just does not cut it.
