Seinfeld was a show about Jerry’s standup… Eh. I have respect it. Its one of the most viewed shows in TV history, just like Friends…

Jurrjens4NLCY, oh please, when I watch SNL today it’s torcher. I like Will Ferrell, Sandler, Farley, but the cast now just doesn’t tickle my funny bone. And there’s not ONE MadTV sketch you’ve ever laughed at? You ain’t human, son.

Hello, Braves Fans, I missed you guys last night. Was at the America’s Toughest concert and game was long over by the time I got home.
Beautiful win last night (got to watch reply aon SS today).

We offer this public service for those fans of tennis star Melanie Oudin: If you’re coming to the game tomorrow, she’s throwing out the first pitch, and before she does, the 17-year-old from Marietta will be signing autographs in the Fan Plaza from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.

Oh, and Oudin is also planning to go on the field with the Tomahawk Team girls and hit autographed tennis balls into the crowd, at about 6:45.
Alright, that’s all.
As the Clash might say, “This is a public service announcement … with guitars!” Only there were no guitars. And it’s over.

I understand benching Esco for not hustling on that play, but don’t know if I’d do it mid-game, considering he is the only consistant hitter on our entire team and we’re trying to be Happ tonight.

Punishing Escobar for that is a real DONK move. Way to hurt our team; groundball pitcher out there and Infante being the king of suck defensively at SS.

The week-end Andruw was confused/upset/hurt/somber about being claimed on waivers, he lolly-gagged for 3 days in Cincy . . . then, his offense began a slow, putrid decline that continued well beyond his days in Atlanta.
The dude never saw the bench until Bobby sat him his last 3 games in a Braves uni (@ Houston), right after the Braves were eliminated from the NL East race.

“I’d bench those loafers for a month and fine them too – there are two rules in baseball – keep it in front of you, and run it out. I don’t mind losing but lack of effort is maddening. P*ss on Escobar.”
Yeah because no one else in the league or in this lineup fails to bust it every now and then. I’m not saying Esco was right, but he is probably one of only almost the majority of the league who doesn’t run hard all the time. The reason its mentioned about Diaz so much is because honestly, he seems to be the only guy on this team to do it all the time. Not the time when your team is on a roll to decide to bench the guy now. 1st mistake since June. I question the move if it is for that and not injury.

Scott, point about Prado and Diaz is they hussle every play, something Esco needs to learn to do. I like him and root for him, but he has to hold his end of the bargain and be a professional ot make professional money.

Not entirely clear yet whether he pulled Escobar for not running out of the box hard, or if he didn’t run out of box because he was hurting and that’s why he came out. But I haven’t seen trainers tending to him on the bench, for what that’s worth.

80% of players would not have sprinted to first on that YUNEl groundout. God knows CHIPPER NEVER runs those out, yet Bobby never gets on him? That’s total BS, and Cox has lost his freakin mind. Pull Yunel in a playoff race to punish him for something that only he gets punished for? Perhaps if Cox hadn’t cost the Braves two games against the Red Sox by playing DIORY Hernadez over Esco after the official scoring incident, then the WC lead would be less than 4.5 games on Sep 18th.

Good evening, Braves Beat Blog Denizens:
Judy and I have tickets to the game tomorrow, and we are looking forward to seeing young Ms Oudin.
Whatever is going on with Yunie, Bobby will get through to him … eventually, perhaps. But I feel his glove and timely hitting makes him our team MVP, and he has too much talent (especially relative to cost) to let go.
