This football game has got a ways to go. Man, guess that’s all we need to know what the south thinks of baseball, or maybe it’s just the Braves they don’t know exists.

Wow, organ guy got me again.
If they still had Name That Tune I swear I could win it. I can usually identify a song even if I just hear one or two notes when switching stations on the radio but that guy stumps me routinely.
I’m pretty sure that was Aqualung but it took me about two minutes to figure it out. He’s good, I like it. Who cares… whatever.
By the way, what an awful article be Ken Rosenthal. He mistakenly refered to Brian McCann as “Martin”. Unbelievable…
… homerun, Adam LaRoche… I could see that coming from a mile away… wow, apparently I’m some kind of savant by my own account.
Finally though, somebody outside of the Braves blogosphere (I hate that word) telling it like it is. Sadly, nothing will be done about it because nobody can seem to hold the guy accountable.

This from Elias, Adam LaRoche is leading the Braves in homers since he began his second stint here on Aug. 1. That’d be 11 now…He just broke an RBI tie in that span with McCann. LaRoche now leads with 28

NO MORE BOBBY
September 15th, 2009

BOBBY V/S THEM…….
* Mike Scioscia has the Angles ready for the playoffs again after the death of Nick Adenhart.
Imagine how Bobby would milk this as an excuse if one of our guys passed away during the season.
* The Dodgers are most likely going to be back in the playoffs with Torre running the show. This is a team that lost Manny for 50 games! If Chipper misses a few games then all the Bobby supporters say “well he hasn’t had all his weapons this year to work with” (is Larry even a weapon anymore?).
* We make a trade for a hot hitting Laroche and he never makes it out of the number seven spot in our lineup. Why? He has been the only real threat to hit a home run but Bobby continues to bat Mac in the cleanup spot. The Cardinals trade for Holiday and he is inserted into the number five spot because that was his purpose in the lineup. Bobby never had a purpose for LaRoche. He just bats players in the lineup by position played, not how well or bad they are hitting. Kotchmon deserved to hit in the seven spot but even when Roach was red hot Bobby would not bump him up.
This is without even mentioning the worn out calls to our bullpen, refusal to sit Johnson and French boy earlier in the season, not firing TP when its obvious he is not working out with Braves hitters, and Bobby keeping a player like Norton on the bench over real talent that would’ve helped this team win.
DOES THE NEW ERA BEGIN NEXT SEASON WREN?

No way.
I swear Eddie Murray had a walk off hit in the ‘79 World Series. Not that I saw any of it. I just remember his hit in Game 3 in ‘95. I could have sworn it was Eddie Murray.
What a rip-off. The Indians were lucky they didn’t get swept by the way but that obviously would have been too easy for the Braves. The Braves never did like doing things the easy way.

God we’re slow.
By the way McFann, wherever you are, I was kidding about Ken Rosenthal. He did call McCann “Martin”. He was talking about the back-up players.
It was a pretty direct article. I’m sure (rather, I hope) it will ruffle some feathers, I was trying to discredit him for a minor typo. Get it? Hilarious right?
Nevermind, why did you make me do that?

Joe can gush about Yunel all he wants as far as I’m concerned.
There was talk about who was the MVP of the team at the all star break or shortly thereafter and most people felt it was either Martin or maybe Javy Vasquez. I think it would have to be Yunel.
Where would we be without him this year? I think his contributions to the team this year have been vastly understated. He may have come back down to earth a little lately but so has just about everybody else. He came into his own this year and I hope he stays a Brave for a long time.
All this crap about him needing to mature is, uh, crap. Bobby Cox needs to mature for f’s sake! Maybe he doesn’t toe the line like some people but some of them, that’s all they’re good at.
