How about this, face reality. This postseason there is better competition out there. No young Tampa Bay Rays to beat up on this year. The Yankees and their billion dollar boys club or more experienced and pose a much bigger threat than the feel good rays. Cardinals are sporting a balanced team and if the Giants make it, good luck against those young guns. Now be gone. We prefer intelligent talk if you are going to be rooting for the other team, not this petty stuff.

Howard has three two-homer nights in his past five games against them, all since the middle of August.
He has seven homers and 12 RBIs in his past seven games against the Braves, and a .342 average with 31 homers and 85 RBIs in 82 career games against them.

Jake – the Phils are champs until they are knocked out. No other way of looking at it. They have a better line up and better starters than last year. Only weakness is that bullpen. Cards have shown their weakness as they have been shut down lately. Giants can’t hit. dodgers are in a dive. Rockies may be the most serious challengers in the NL. Of course who would have thought the Cards would have won the World Series a few years ago when they limped in with a .500 record?

Sorry brian, it makes perfect sense what I said. You are saying bobby is right for providing unequal treatment to one player and not others. You said he was right because Esco should have been hustling, well shouldn’t they all? Its the same argument because you are saying he should not have used EOF and saved him, well he does save his starters, doesn’t really seem to care about his bullpen and their arms falling off. Correct me if i’m wrong but that is bobby cox once again providing a different kind of treatment for one while not for the others.
To put it straight, he benches Esco for not hustling but no one else is benched for the same “crime”. He worries about his starters innings and pulls them when they are cruising, but not the inning piling up on his obviously tired bullpen arms. Its the same mode of thinking whether you want to admit it or not. He is doing one thing in one situation for this player and not for the other
Oh and sorry if I hurt your feelings. I don’t call names but I guess calling someone two peas in a pod is offending to you or maybe its just a “slam” like you said. My debating skills are just fine by the way, maybe its your reading skills that need a little help….

Bobby’s decisions not to use Moylan, Gonzalez, and/or Soriano late in games where Atlanta trails lies atop the false premise that these guys are basically only proper to turn to when you have the lead. If Bobby uses the right personnel tonight, Atlanta probably ties the game in the ninth.
You cannot categorize yourself in a game and think the immediate score symbolizes the entire nine innings. You have to give it your all for that entire time, as opposed to putting the onus entirely on your offense when you face a deficit and making no urgent effort to keep it what it is.

“the Phils are champs until they are knocked out.”- brian
Did I say they weren’t, I just said it looks like they will be facing some better competition this year.
To the philly fan, its not personal, its baseball talk. Yankees are a much bigger beast than what the Rays posed if you make it to the world series again this year and even before tonight I liked the Cards. I’m not saying you guys are going to lose to them, just saying from the looks of things right now you guys will be facing a little tougher competition this year. Much harder to repeat than to win the first time.

Well nothing positive about tonight’s game. Like the rest of you I see no sense in pitching to Howard. Pitch around him, IBB or just hit him, really doesn’t matter to me as long as he doesn’t see another strike for two more games.
The Braves offense did little to help matters. Pulling Escobar was stupid IMO, just sends a message to the team that the manager is more concerned with petty things than trying to win the game. It probably had little to do with the outcome, but that’s my take on it.
The rest of the team besides Diaz does their share of loafing to first on those routine plays so why pull him at this point in time? It solves nothing & it doesn’t do a damn thing to win the game. Take him down the tunnel & ram his glove where the sun doesn’t shine, but send him back out because he gives you the best chance to win.

You can cut this up as you like but the facts are that baseball is about more than numbers. There is team chemistry. Chipper Jones is the sulfuric acid of team chemistry. He’s chlorine gas for morale. They are not the same team with this preening drama queen in the game. I wouldn’t want to be in the same infield as LaRoche and Jones, and I don’t care if both of them are hitting .500. I want to win and have fun, not attend a funeral for baseball every night. Cox may not be the swiftest boat in the water but having Jones and LaRoche on the corners is like something out of Ghostbusters.

I really do wish Bobby would leave so everyone can express his appreciation for him and the organization can move forward.
He is tarnishing his legacy in these last few years.
I will say this, though. He has overseen this team through a large payroll reduction and re-work, including a pretty ugly bottoming out period that appears to have ended earlier this summer.
Perhaps we are on the cusp of something big. I think we have a shot. But, I am in now way convinced that Bobby Cox deserves to be the one to lead us to that next step.

From a concerned Braves fan:
By my fraudulent calcuations, Chipper Jones’ cowardice has cost the Braves at least 35 games this season. I could name the 35 games, but why should I provide proof for something that I know is a fact? I shouldn’t, therefore, he’s cost us 35 games and no one could ever prove me wrong.
Chipper, why do you insist upon costing us so many games?
Money.
You are a money-grubbing, scrap-less, gutless, grit-less sieve of an Eckstein. In fact, you are not even fit to be compared to an Eckstein. Please quit baseball and let Brooks Conrad take his rightful place as leader of the future six consecutive World Series championship-winning Atlanta Braves.

Cox Truths
September 18th, 2009
11:00 pm
1. Cox wont come back if Escobar returns..he’s using his fickleness over returning as leverage to get the team he wants which means Esco must go.
2. Cox wont bat LaRoche cleanup because he wants to keep Adam’s RBI’s down so he can resign him more cheaply in the offseason. RBI’s are like gold to a slugging first baseman.
3. Cox wont play Kelly Johnson because Kelly struggles batting at the top of the order which is where Cox wants Kelly to play.
4. Cox is going to be able to create his own statue out of the buggers he’s collected during his tenure with the Braves.

“that’s the argument. I’m not saying it’s mine. But, that’s the argument.they are arguing that cox is inconsistent.”
Is it even that bad of an argument though. If you are going to bench player A for not hustling shouldn’t you do the same thing to player B? I don’t think people are complaining with the message Bobby is sending to Esco, just rather he would take that hard line with all his players. Especially since its a message that should apply to all.
Also if you are going to moniter the innings of arms that have never seen this workload before at this level (i.e Hanson), shouldn’t you do the same for other arms in the same situation. Especially given that some of those bullpen arms are coming off some serious surgery and that Gonzo has never pitched this many innings before in his major league career. I think the most he has pitched is in the 50’s.
brent a.
September 18th, 2009
11:14 pm
Also, regarding Cox. I like to pay attention to actual quotes from people. Not just conjecture. Not opinion pieces. But, what people actually say.
A couple of year’s back, (maybe when cox filmed his special for SportSouth), Cox commented that when he left the game, he would really leave the game. As in, he might not come back to the ballpark for a long-time, because he would really need to get away.
That seemed pretty drastic to me, all things considered.
But this week, Cox has changed his tune a bit. Now he’s saying that if/when he retires, he’d like to come around some. Come to Spring Training, etc. That’s a nearly 180 degree turn from where he was just 1-2 years ago.
What does that tell me? It tells me that he realizes that he is probably not going to oversee another WS as manager of the Atlanta Braves, and this probably really will be his last season as manager. And additionally (and probably more on my point), he knows he can’t tolerate being completely away from the game (which may be part of the reason that he’s managed until he’s 68 year’s old), and because of that, he’s now taking some consolation in the fact that if he retires, he doesn’t have to just leave and be gone. He can stay around. He can go to spring training. He can visit the clubhouse. Who knows? He might even get an office at Turner Field (Heck, he can probably use Hank Aaron’s. I have no earthly idea what that guy does).
Anyway, that’s what I’m picking up from Cox. He’s preparing for his next move, and it’s not gonna be a disappearing act. He recognizes that he’s probably not manager much longer (2 more weeks?) but he is taking some solace in the fact that he can, and likely will, still be a part of this organization.

No. We are good but their are teams that are just better. One hot month does not make up for all the mistakes made through rest of the season. (Bobby and TP – cough cough)
That’s why when people were saying “it is still early” in July, I knew those losses would come back to haunt us in September. Now there is no room for losing. Tonight was no ones fault. Just loss to a better team (much better team).
One thing I did have a problem with is choice of Nunez in ninth. Guy has a 4.67 era and losing record against the Phils. Not a smart choice with momentum back on our side in eight inning.

Booby continues his reign of terror. Keeps playing tired, not-so-Chipper. Instead of fining Yunel for lack of hustle, he cuts off the Brave’s nose to spite the face by benching him in a crucial game and wasting an option, such as later benching the has-been Jones. Wonder how he punished Lowe for not speaking up sooner on his blister or Gonzo for hiding his pre-game sore back? Why is Diaz, who is hitting almost .500 against the Phillies, batting in the seven hole? Oh yes, in a two run, season-critical game, Booby brings in this Nunez guy to put the game completely out of reach.
Dave, knowing that you have a musical bent, I offer you and your avid readers this parody of a Cole classic. (Porter that is, not Hamels).

I realize it’s almost become hackneyed to reference “Groundhog Day” for moments like this, however, when I post on this Blog at 11:00PM and see the headline—Well, that strains credulity even for O’Brien. Some of you have defended these types of Blogs by saying “He doesn’t really believe it but he is just writing something”, at this point I would like anyone to hazard a guess as to what the man has on his mind. I guess it is the consensus that he is just throwing Kiffin against the wall, but REALLY, this has moved into the genre of “Noises Off” non-humor.

jeffrey d – Actually, I’m not surprised. Bobby gets blamed for rain delays on here.
Funny but it is his fault. Did you not know this?

Chop Chop–oh, you have a summer place? You’re movin’ up in the world, sir. Congratulations. Alas, I have only a single dumpster I must inhabit year-round.
Damn Steve I didn’t know that. Let me send you a couple of the wolf shirts.

Even if the Phils sweep this series they will NOT have a winning year against the Braves. Currently we are 9-7 against them this year and there are only 2 left. Not bad for a team that has no manager, no power bat in the outfield, no bullpen and sorry excuses for closers.
Rock On......

An old saying popped into my head that fits Cox perfectly and I will take it out on that note: ” the older I get the better I used to be”.

Yeah, those dog on closers killed us this year. Can’t imagine any team, especially the one we are playing, would want to take them off our hands at this point. To be honest, if they were not worn down they would probably be seen as one of the best setup and closing combo’s in the league. They are actually good, rather most want to believe it or not.
