WOW — no faith whatsoever from some of you supposed ” fans ” ……

Braves will make a comeback bid in this game, and if and when they do everyone of you should post an “I’m sorry for being a lame a$$ supporter”

Go Bravos !!!!

YES! Greg Norton is batting!

I’m seriously glad that he’s hitting here, cause that means that he won’t be pinch-hitting at a more vital moment of the game in later innings. Come on Norty!

Now to follow the obvious stupidity of our HOF manager, he will put Medlin in to finish us off for the night and the season.

How in the world can Josh Johnson walk Greg “cant hit his way out of a paper bag” Norton?

Perhaps Greg Norton should be called a “pinch walk specialist” instead of a pinch hitter because he cant hit worth SHYT.

Don’t tell people to shut up and then relax. That doesn’t work.

Only if you’re very tightly wound, as it appears you are. Don’t take it so personally; wasn’t intended that way. Chill.

The Braves losing this game wont be the end of the world. This was the one game that I was looking at in the last 13 games of the season that I felt that the Braves could lose. By winning our previous 7 games, we gave ourselves a little breathing room. However, if we lose this game, we HAVE to win the remaining 5 to have any shot.

Still, this game is far from over. Johnson looks like he is tiring. Plus that Marlins bullpen isnt exactly shutting people down. At most Johnson will last 6 innings, which will give us 3 cracks at that Marlins bullpen.

I think that we got a break on that 3-1 pitch. Or perhaps Chipper’s eye at the plate got the umpire’s call in our favor.

We still have 4 more cracks to score 3 runs. There’s a chance that Johnson is done for the night. If so, then there is no reason to think that we cant come back.

However, if the bullpen doesnt hold them, it wont matter. We need a shutdown performance from the pen tonight.
