Wayne I didn’t allude to any such thing. Look, I’m not going to play the Wayne Is A Victim game with you my friend. I know your playbook.
First you say something. Then you accuse some flacky of either calling you a name, misconstruing your political views, insulting your religious views, or in some combination of the sort. Then there’s back-and-forth drama. Then comes mysterious pop-up names popping up attacking poor Wayne, followed by testimonials from a few fellow bloggers (I know I’ve been one) each swearing that good ol’ Wayne is a swell guy.
If I thought you were a racist, I have zero problem telling you in a direct manner. I think you are an authoritarian but I’ve told you that before. So if you got something I said twisted, that’s on you. I’m not about to play your game.
But if you’d like to stick to baseball and answer the question I asked about defining attitude, I’m open to that. But you can keep the b.s. to yourself, I’m not interested.

As usual, Cox was right. A 6 run lead was enough reason to pitch Soriano. He just wanted to keep the fans in their seats for the 9th inning. Vazquez pitches a 7 inning 3 hit shutout while Soriano pitches an 8 batter 5 hit 4 run sorry excuse for an inning. Sheesh!!!

Damn, the Braves won. I was hoping Philly would score about 8 in the ninth so I could watch the board melt down into a nuclear pool of waste. Now I’ll just hafta besatisfied with the win. Not nearly as much fun. Ozzie was right, Javy is a total choker.

Sheesh…but that ninth inning was pretty bad. Good night…I was sitting there thinking, “Well, I didn’t mean I wanted BMac to get another AB if he didn’t come up in the eighth…”
Really stinks that Soriano blew the shutout…but at least Javy and the Braves got the win.

Don’t you just love old school baseball?
Don’t matter if your closer had two fingers simply fall off his hand while he’s on the mound, it’s his game to lose!
Don’t matter if he has a 12 run lead and gives up 10 runs and still hasn’t recorded an out, it’s his game to lose!
So with that kind of logic, somebody please tell me again how is it that Bobby Cox is doing something so very special that it merits we all praise his greatness?

Soriano is paid big money to come in late in the game and get people out. He was god awful at his job tonight. But of course the geniuses on this blog are going to blame Bobby Cox for that. Whatever.

What in the world is wrong with Soriano. He can’t get left handers out. I understand Howard and Utley, but then Stairs, Ibañez, and Rollins all got solid hits of him. Next year Moylan can definitely be the closer but they need someone to replace him in his role right now.

Just a thought. When Bobby replaced GA with Gorecki and Vasquez with Moylan, why not double switch. This would allow the option of keeping Moylan in the game, but not require it. As it turned out he had an eight pitch inning.
