That sucks bravesgril4life! Remember, you have to get a second tv and hook up the dual receiver before next season! Then, your husband’s on his own.

Actually I work nights, Wednesday is the only night I’m off. I usually read the blogs when I get off around midnight, but I won’t respond to a post from several hours sooner. As far as calling me a fair-weather fan, I’ve been watching the Braves since the 72-73 season. Although I lived 5 hours away (I now live 2 hours away) I would go watch at least 4 or 5 series a year.
I’m like you. I know we need a change, however it’s not going to happen. The only thing we can do is put up with it. Bitching about it is not going to change the fact that he’s here for 1 more year, so we just have to learn to deal with it.

Yep, that’s the plan. I’ve already got the dual receiver, so just gotta get the TV. I’d ask for it for Christmas, but I’ve just about got him on the hook for my jersey. Just gotta decide if it’s gonna be McCann or Hanson.

That was intended for you and about 2 dozen others. You seem to be a smart enough guy, except for your one obsession. Can’t you go back in time and see that what I am saying is true?
And Paul Dense (I use a variation of your name so you won’t respond to me on purpose), there was a line from a Shakespeare play that suits you perfectly: it is a tale told by and idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing….

The Rockies don’t quit in the 5th inning and they don’t play the Padres like the padres are a pushover. Get back to us if the Padres are still up after the Rox bat in the 9th.

Any list of reasons addressing the issue of whether Bobby Cox should retire or why we won’t make the playoffs this year is really a list of why we should be going to the playoffs.
We have a pitching staff worthy of the World Series and an ability, when everyone does their job, to beat just about anybody. It’s not to say we’re a first place team but it doesn’t help when you have a third place manager.
Sorry Wayne.

This really isn’t fair. It’s odd though, we lost 90 games last year and still beat them. I guess they can’t win any way you slice it.

I will tell you what it is, they are good at playing in that park, its definite home field advantage for them. I know, I know, the other team has the advantage as well, but what I am saying is that the Rox know how to use that park to their advantage.

Sorry, Soph. I didn’t feel like posting anything after BMac’s latest K (I mean, what more cann type about those cr–uddy things?), and since the Braves won I thought I’d post a happy word after the game ended…

What a blog! Has it’s own vernacular . We began the year with “your and idiot” then MFIKY hit the blog waves and it took about 3 months for me to figure that out. Now we have “ho, sit down” to bring our year to a close. Beautiful. All three should be readily adopted for 2010.

So, I was wondering what this bingo thing was about until I saw if on the Facebook page tonight. Hilarious.
I’d guess that everyone gets B5 and O5, and nobody gets I2. In fact, I don’t think I2 has ever been filled.
Greg in TN

A win over this shell of a mets team isn’t what it used to be, folks. However, a win keeps us in the race and with the Fathers leading the Rocks through 5 1/2, the Braves might even gain a little ground in their chase for the postseason. I wouldn’t have expected the Pads to fare so well with Marquis on the mound, but then again, I’m also not about to look a gift horse in the mouth either.
Personally, I am glad Bobby gets to ride off into the sunset the way he wants to and the way many feel he deserves to, including me.
Great win tonight with the only downers being Prado’s injury during BP and Chipper’s tight back. Braves have to play well in the Beltway this weekend in a ball park where they’ve struggled since it opened last year. With the Cards playing in Denver and sending Carpenter and Wainwright out to the hill on Friday and Saturday, the Braves realistically have a golden opportunity to gain ground.
