Hugh Jazz,
We don’t tolerate that homophobic crap from our enemies, we certainly don’t accept it from anyone else either.

Glad to see Blanton throwing a lot of pitches in the 1st. 23 in the 1st.
Hopefully Jair can have a smooth first.

Who thinks that Bobby Cox should use Buddy Carlyle as a closer so he can “get some innings in”?

I’m sorry if this has been asked and I missed it (I couldn’t find it if it has… but does holding Hudson off until Tuesday preclude him from being allowed to be put on the playoff roster should we make the playoffs? I thought you had to be on the roster before Sept 1. Or since he was DL’ed he’s ok?

Joe Morgan is the most pro-phillie announcer i’ve ever heard…wow listening at the beginning of the game it sounded like you might as well just give them another world series

I know, I was just making fun of you because the way you phrased it.
I think you meant to say if I can’t communicate without expletives, I’m clueless.
It’s ironic when you think about it.

Hudson is on the 60 day dl so he’s allowed to be on the playoff roster

Huddy is on the DL he will be eligible for playoffs….same with nate

BFnMetsland – DOB cleared that up, if a player is on the DL, it doesn’t affect eligibility for playoffs.

Gorecki may be in the lineup tonight, but he won’t be in a couple of days. He’ll be in AAA again while Norton continues to be sent to the plate to walk or strike out.
MiaBchBravesFan
August 30th, 2009

Kurdt, that is the ONLY thing that Gorecki has in common with Braun (frankly, I don’t see it).

Up 1-0, I wouldn’t IBB Howard, but I would make him swing at garbage.

Only to be the second coming of Willie Mays, of course. As Braves fans, we’re entitled to such performance. Weren’t you aware of that?

ESPN is showing Howard’s stats by count. Are they doing that for every batter? Probably not.

why does he sound so surprised at a team using the shift?

Here is something that some of you may not have thought of since LaRoche’s improved play: The Braves traded Elvis Andrus, Jarrod Salty, Matt Harrison, Neftali Feliz and some Double A BUM…………for 1/2 a season of Ron Mahay, 1 season of Mark Teixeria, 1 year of Casey Kotchman, at least 1/2 a season of Adam LaRoche, and a Triple A BUM.
Here is a question for some of you to ponder: If Adam LaRoche keeps raking at the plate…..and he helps lead us to the play-offs…….will your view of the Tex trade “change?
Heath
August 30th, 2009
8:34 pm
I love the idea of pitching him in. I think that is the way until he makes an adjustment….he starts open and dives in. Makes sense to go inside….can’t extend arms.

Today I say the Giants look like they want it the most….
