I don’t want either Gonzo or Soriano back. Gonzo IF his price is within reason, but he isn’t worth closer money because, well, he isn’t a closer. Moylan deserves the job in 2010.

Soph – I wasn’t “asking” for Acosta. I had just noticed he hadn’t been used since August 26th. Until I got bombarded with a bunch of “he went to Gwinnett, STEWPID!”s

Manuel again showing Cox how to do it. catcher was 2 for 3, but bring a righty against the lefty and bang. Cox will have never substituded a guy that was 2 for 3. NEVER…PURE LOYALTY.

At least when the other Manny is being Manny, he’s good.

And now the leftties are up, so let’s just give it away, by bringing the righty Manny. Giftwrap the game…

“But…Cox’s “overuse” of Gonzo has not affected his pitching. I know this is true because AJC writer Jeff Schultz wrote it. And he is a personal friend of a certain HOF manager. So it must be true.”
I rarely click on Schultz’s tripe. And that article illustrated why. Next time he gets a scoop, I’ll wait for it to make it to ESPN.com.

I say we give the rest of the season off to our sick and shut-ins: Chipper and his delicate muscles, Derek “The Ace” Lowe and his sensitive skin, and Greg Norton and his comatose bat.

Lowe is such a waste of money. I just hope some team will take him off our hands even if we have to eat $15 mil. What a horrible contract.

Good job of getting out of his own mess by Acosta. I really wish the Braves could find some way to harness his abilities because he has very good stuff.

lol @ Curtis. Norton is starting to see the ball well, why shut him down when he’s just about to break out of it? You watch, he’ll carry this team to the playoffs BY … HIM … SELF!

Yes, because Gonzo has been TERRIBLE all year. I’d hate to have a reliever with his numbers on my team.

I hate second guessing, but KJ would’ve either homered or tripled in that situation. He also would’ve caught that homerun ball.

In the 7th we had laroche up with 2 on. Jerry manuel will had brought Diaz to face feliciano, that’s call managing to win, not to loyalty because Adam had been hot. he does not hit sidearm lefties well at all.

“Manuel again showing Cox how to do it.”
Do what? Finsh 20 games under .500 & 21.5 games out of first place? I’m not even close to a Bobby homer. But If I had a short list of who I wanted to be my manager, Manuel is going to be lower on that list than Bobby would be.

TRADE MCCLOUTH!!!!!!! Hell if we aren’t going to use his speed I’m sure some other team would love to have him stealing for them. What a joke. I haven’t really got pissed about moves by Bobby too much this year, but twice in a few innings McClouth on first with 2 outs and we don’t steal. This my friends is a joke. This is why we will not make the playoffs. Wow.

Been to 25 games this year and WILL NOT go next year if Cox is back. He is getting out managed again. Knew we were trouble tonight with Lowe pitching. wish we could trade him but not with that contract.BIG game tonight I DONT THINK HE wanted to pitch just like homerun GONZO.

They’re not going to come back and win this Chip.
The Mets have nothing to worry about.
By the way, when the game ends, every Braves player needs to come out and individually thank all the fans still in attendance. The fact that there are any left at this point is amazing.

N8, strategically, even my high school baseball manager is better than Bobby. Besides, you can’t blame Manuel alone for the Mets loses. If we will had lost chipper, escobar, Mcann, and other top players for most of the season like they did, we will be in the same area.
