You don’t have the balls to reply to comments of mine addressed specifically to you (for example, here and also here), but you’re all too ready to jump in when I address a comment to someone else?
It is to laugh.

Hello all,
Bobby Co xis not a good manager, unless you like lossing each night, bad bullpen managerment and using bad lineups and seeing a collapse far worse than the Mets in 2007. It’s time to fire Cox he is old and senile and not a good management for the atlanta Braves.

jeffrey d,
This is a standard reply to trolls on Free Republic:
You swine. You vulgar little maggot. You worthless bag of filth. As we say in the Army, I’ll bet you couldn’t pour p!ss out of a boot with instructions printed on the heel.
You are a canker. A sore that won’t go away. I would rather kiss a trial lawyer than be seen with you. You’re a putrescent mass, a walking vomit. You are a spineless little worm deserving nothing but the profoundest contempt. You are a jerk, a cad, a weasel. Your life is a monument to stupidity. You are a stench, a revulsion, a big suck on a sour lemon.
You are a bleating foal, a curdled staggering mutant dwarf smeared richly with the effluvia and offal accompanying your alleged birth into this world. An insensate, blinking calf, meaningful to nobody, abandoned by the puke-drooling, giggling beasts who sired you and then killed themselves in recognition of what they had done. I will never get over the embarrassment of belonging to the same species as you. You are a monster, an ogre, a malformity. I barf at the very thought of you.
Now leave the blog.

Ump should be disciplined for those strike calls. Just because he wants to go home does not mean he should expect the integrity of the game.

McFann – the only reason I did was because I had blown a 10 point lead and that day I had dropped out of first place. I had to examine my team and McCann was in the middle of his big slump….I needed a change.
Don’t worry…I picked him back up a couple days later.
O.J.

He had already given up a homer to Howard in that game, no way of knowing if the offense would have come back and scored.

One of these days we’re going to have a legitimate 9th inning comeback win and not on some throwing error or that retard Murphy letting the ball hit off his wrist.
I’m guessing we’ll have to wait til next year. How many one or two run games have we lost at home? Too many. This team has no fight. It ain’t right.

Diaz is not an everyday player. I hoipe the Braves do not see him as one for next year. You cannot consistently swing at balls outside the strike zone the way he does. Plus, he’s a terrible OF’er.

Totally agree…IN MAY! With 2 weeks to go, you use all the bullets you have at the best possible time. We have 3 catchers on the bench right now. You don’t hold back your best hitter because the starting catcher might get hurt in the next 3 innings. That is complete rubbish.
