Carroll-
I don’t know if that was a joke based on a comment made to a certain female sports reporter awhile back or that guy was serious, but if he were, what he doesn’t realize is that most of you as he so expressed “chick” sports reporters put in more time and effort into their jobs than some of us do in a week! AND you know you’re sh*t (pardon the language).
So keep doin what you’re doin as 99.9% of us appreciate what you do for Braves baseball!
Tomahawkin-
Thanks! Just NOT doin my job right now (LoL)…the irony there…
FaninVa-
As Rome stated on his show, somehow I don’t think you can proclaim yourself the most interesting man in the world, especially when you decide to drink really crappy beer! That would be like Larry Eustachy saying he’s the most interesting man in the world because he got drunk at a college party poppin Natty Lite’s.

seconds and thirds on the Greg Norton thing. I think it’s safe to say when this season ends, hopefully well into October, we will have seen the last of him in a Braves uni . Unless someone bumps into him at a local Kroger or somewhere.

D.O.B. and Carroll are beat writers. They are paid to cover the team from an unbiased perspective. While they are fans of the players of the team due to the personal bonding amongst them and the players, they are required to not start subjective stories about the team or its players let along ask subjective/critical questions ( In other words call them out) If I’m not mistaking?
The columnist’s of the AJC (Bradley, Schultz, etc) are paid to do that(write subjective stories calling out the team, mgmt, etc)

If there was only 1 game…just 1 game that we could take back…it would be the loss right before the All-Star break where Hanson started….we were leading 7-3…and lost 8-7. If the Braves win that game, the Rockies and Braves both have 69 losses right now….

Lentz,
Cox has sure put us in more situations for a win than a loss….CHECK out our record my man!!! Alas, you are too blind to do such and will continue to harp on the 4 or 5 points you have to make. How about his move yesterday putting in Moylan for 2 innings? Or pinch hitting Infante to give us a 3 run cushion? You’re right, he shoulda pinch hit him in the 7th when the game was clearly in contention. He has made his fair share of questionable decisions in his career. But I will take his track record against most when it comes to the game of baseball. And I won’t sit back here and second guess decisions AFTER I see how it plays out, similar to what you do or claim you predicted it would end this or that way. When it doesn’t and Cox’s decision works out, you still criticize how “lucky” it was. Get a grip and get out in the world instead of in front of your computer screen for the majority of the day bashing a Hall of Fame manager any chance you get.

JJ – at least twice by my recollection. We briefly mentioned it the other day.
But on both instances, he was getting really angry about people disrespecting him, calling him joke names (like Pauline Dense), etc. And he was just making these absurd and obscene personal comments to people. The one that everyone points to was when he said something incredibly disrespectful about the armed services and about Mitchie-san (who’s in the armed services, in Japan right now if I’m not mistaken).
He just lost it, man.

Understood Anders. Thought maybe you were basking in excitement here on the ol’ blog. Your NY blogs must be full of Lentz’s though for you to be spending so much time here, considering the year you’ve had. But the feelings are mutual. Thought you’d have the same “we’ll root for the Marlins if we’re out of it” pity thing going that many of us Braves fans don’t mind doing. But, the feelings are mutual, I would never root for Philly or the Mets in October either…

September 28th, 2009
5:59 pm
Anders……….I’m not talking about Bobby’s managing in years past. I’m talking specifically about this year. What happened 4 years ago is irrevelant to me today. Just like players lose it at a certain point in their careers……….the same thing happens to managers. Just because Bobby helped lead the Braves to 14 straight division championships…….does not meant that he should be given a free pass when his mistakes hold a team back. We won our last division title in 2005. This is 2009.
I have so much faith in this year’s team. I wont blame April and May on Bobby Cox so much as I blame June and and part of July on him. On June 2nd, when the McLouth trade was made, along with calling up Tommy Hanson, that would have been a great time to complete the shake-up by benching Kelly and Francoeur in favor of Diaz and Prado…….and releasing Jeff Bennett and Greg Norton.
There is no way that the players are going to say anything bad about Bobby. Baseball players know that burning bridges isnt wise. Sure, there are exceptions out there. However, the kind of players that the Braves tend to go after…..are players who are more than likely to walk the “company line”. Notice how the ones who dont (Kenny Lofton, Gary Sheffield) last very long.

Just because I want to speculate about it and I’m not sure if I’ll get the chance after the next couple of days–
So, who would be the starting pitchers in the playoffs for the Bravos? Here are my selections (not taking into account who started which game at the end of the season, because I just don’t want to get too detailed about it right now):
1. Javier Vasquez. The guy has been the clear ace of the staff over the last month or so of the season. He also has hard and dominating stuff, the kind of stuff that can make a postseason hero.
2. Jair Jurjens. A close second to Vasquez and having a terrific year. I still can’t believe the Braves got him in a trade.
3. Tommy Hanson. The rookie has been right up there with Vasquez and Jurjens over the last couple of months. He has dominating stuff– could deliver some Smoltz-like performances.
That leaves Tim Hudson and Derek Lowe in the bullpen in a 5 game series– and immediately makes it a seriously good one. If the Braves were lucky enough to play in a 7 games series… who wants to put Lowe out there right now the way he’s pitched recently? I think it would be Hudson.
And, while I am not a Bobby hater, as some are on this blog, I have to admit I get a bit of a chill thinking that Bobby might stick Hanson in the bullpen and go with either Hudson or Lowe. I have to think he wouldn’t but… I’m just not sure.
Okay, that’s probably the only time I get to do that– although here’s hoping the Braves take it to the Marlins!

6:06 pm
glord………I stated last week that the Braves, before the Mets series began, were going to have to finish 12-1 in order to have a shot at making the playoffs. Not only that, I came right out and said that I think that this Braves team (given the schedule and the quality of our starting pitching) could finish the season 12-1.
2 sweeps (6 wins later), the Braves are halfway there. There is no reason why we cant go at least 6-1 this week.
Yet a number of people on here last week were saying that I was being “unrealistic” in my assessment. They was saying that they would be happy with 9-4 or 10-3 to finish the season.
I responded by saying that it would be a BIG DISAPPOINTMENT if we finished the season 9-4 or 10-3. Just like I was disappointed that we finished the home stand right after the All-Star Break at 6-2 instead of the 8-0 record that we should have posted.
I have faith in the ability of this team…….and many of you rip me for it. Yet you are willing to settle for good….when greatness is achievable. PATHETIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!
By using Greg Norton as the #1 pinch hitter, Bobby Cox is potentially holding this team back…….not putting it in the best possible position to win.

The problem is that I have to give the manager some credit when the team is playing loose and puts up a 14 – 2 record against anyone.

Carroll Rogers………..concerning your 5:32pm posting, I’m not sure where you got the “real men dont get their news from chick sports writers” comment. I never said that.
Also, concerning your statement of asking Bobby Cox about Greg Norton in Florida…..my question is “why didnt you (or any other Braves writer) continue to follow up with that”? Greg Norton has continued to stink up the place. Yet you sports writers (male and female) are content with one answer that Bobby Cox gives you guys and will leave it at that, not bringing it up again for the rest of the year.
I feel that the Atlanta sports media is so “in awe” of Bobby Cox that they are afraid of losing their precious access to the Braves if any criticism is directed at Bobby.
If a child misbehaves, and a parent gets on the child and punishes the child for misbehaving……..is a parent not obligated to get on the child and punish the child again if he misbehaves again in a similar manner? Every game that Bobby uses Greg Norton, Bobby should be questioned on it. The FREAKING STATS DONT LIE. Greg Norton SUCKS A$$. SIMPLE AS THAT.
How in the world is it even remotely close to being responsible journalism when you sports writers dont do your job and ask the tough questions when warranted?

During the winter, Bobby Cox should consider moving either Prado or Infante to the outfield, I don’t think Heyward will be ready next year. This would allow to 300 hitters to be in the lineup everyday. Conrad can adequately backup second base.

This is for the Douchebag KING!! Paul Lentz…………..
Ordinarily I wouldn’t say this but I got a few minutes out of my life to say something directly to you. So here ===== You don’t get it … PERIOD !!
Not that it makes me a superior person or anything but I actually played for the Braves organization and I have personal knowledge of Bobby Cox that you don’t. Earlier you railed on about how Bobby is supposed to be teaching his players the fundamentals instead of keeping them focused. That one comment alone shows you for the pathetic moron you are and utterly devoid of baseball intelligence on any level.
FOCUS is what makes the difference between a talented team winning when it needs to or collapsing under pressure. Example — NY Mets. Focus is what makes players remember the fundamentals, this isn’t HS where the coach hits ground balls and yells “turn 2″.
Wanting to play for a manager instead of wanting to play for a check is why you see this team rolling now. BC is the guy most major leaguers say they want to play for. Not guys who were on the Braves before but guys who have NEVER been on a Braves team at all.
I’ll take the opinion of several hundred PRO’s, countless media reps, and of course my own personal history with Bobby over your insane, delusional, and narcissistic rants. I know it’s a big word so look it up, Webster’s dictionary should put you name in the definition.
I have chosen battle’s before with the likes of COACH over his relentless bashing and anyone who has read this blog for any length of time knows the once I sink my teeth into you I will not let up. You are now officially my new “project”.
I don’t have all day to sit on the blog but I will make it a point to get on as much as possible to “drill you a new hole”. You have now become A$$CLOWN #1 !!!!!
Now do you really want keep being a douchebag??? Or do you really just like living in your parents basement… And please don’t try to tell us you don’t, and that you’re the big “Ladies Man” in you hometown. Most of the girls in your town are just dudes wearing dresses !!!!

What a dumb line-up. Lead-off guy is hitting .262. I mean, what the f?
Sure we won six in a row, we were playing the two worst teams in baseball. I “believe” and have faith and everything but this line-up is absolutely retarded.
Matt Diaz, best average on the team… batting 8th. WTF

If the Braves win tonight, they’re an even 2 outs with six games to play for both them and the Rockies.
But they gotta win tonight.
Go Braves!

That’s a shame what Joe Simpson just said about the papers in Atlanta hardly even acknowledging the Braves. It’s college football time & people are obviously into that instead.
