Esco swung at a strike, just hit it to the wrong part of the park. Adam however does not look good against Johnson, but hey a run on the board.

If I thought this team still had a chance then I’d be sounding off like Mitchell
What is the point of it, though? It’s not constructive and doesn’t add much to the discussion. Hey, I don’t like GA out there in left and I’m thoroughly confused about the Greg Norton Chronicles, but you don’t hear me spouting it every 2 seconds. Collect your thoughts and make a well-formulated, rational post. More people will take notice and start a really good discussion over it, I’m willing to bet.
Remember your “head of the class” stuff? That gets a lot more play that some tirades every 2 minutes, no?

On the Braves fans in Atlanta issue…?
Has anyone noticed that Latinos in Atlanta don’t know that the city has a baseball team…Cheesewhiz…! It’s not like the braves have had any good latin players…
Over the years We’ve had Galarraga, Renteria (Columbia), Furcal, etc, but I rarely see Latinos come to Tooner Field, it’s like Latinos in Atlanta don’t know baseball exists…
Latino’s/Hispanics in LA go all out for their teams…Even the Marlins have a bigger hispanic fanbase. What Gives…?

steve from OH — that’s one of the reasons i don’t blog during games too much. Who wants to listen to the constant bitch and moan over every little thing.
Baseball is a game of mistakes and saves, outs and comebacks. If they don’t understand that then they aren’t worth listening too.

I think Hudson would be better served in the pen now. At first, no because they did need to see where he was & I think it’s pretty obvious he can still get guys out. But, KK is a better choice to start now.
OMG, another HR. All we can do now is hope Colorado loses tonight.

This is the guy we want to keep over JV? I’m not buying trading Javy Vasquez. Also too bad we let this guy bump KK who delivers in big games. Hudson was good but not great before the injury, I don’t see why the Braves can’t pick up his option and trade him and Lowe both.

Mixxo,
How do you figure they rush Huddy? Wasn’t KK pitching quite well for a number 5? Didn’t he pitch well enough to earn Bobby’s confidence as a number 5? You make no sense, Hudson has been pitching well since he’s come back. You base your comments and judgments on one outing. Intelligent choice dude.

If the Braves shop Vazquez and keep Hudson that will be a huge mistake
While Vazquez is going out and pitching his heart out, Hudson is walking everyone then giving up RBI doubles to a opposing pitcher when that pitcher is down 0-2 in the count.. Not only is Tim Hudson on the verge of wasting our win streak, he is single handily blowing away our chances at the playoffs.. Thanks Tim Hudson, I hope you are packing after the game and on your way out of Atlanta.. You are not worth 2 million a year let alone 12 million for next year.. The Braves would be down right stupid to pick up that option.. Good riddance..
