Norton in for Ross. How bad do you feel right now if you’re Ross?

Bobby this is another one on you.

Bulletin. Nats take the entire defense off the field to just let the pitcher get Norton out by himself.

No problems

Give Norton a 3 year deal, he earned it after that hit.

Norton!

With that game-tying hit, Norton has earned himself a contract for next year. (Just kidding)

BTW, has Brooks Conrad had a hit in September?

I hope this game goes like 17 innings (sorry DOB!) just so FOX has to be stuck with it…

YUNIFAN

so any other day Fox takes you to their other games when one finishes…and they didn’t do that today. I was hoping to see at least ONE INNING!!! Guess it was just too much to ask for!

Conrad is 0 for his last 22.
It’s nice to see Clint Sammons play for the first time since he was recalled. Acosta worries me though.

That one hit brought his average up 12 points

Worse thing in the world for 2010 was Norton getting a hit then. BC just wet his britches! Norton just got rehired!

Manny A Cost A Game. Did Norton hit for Ross? One of our really good hitters?. maybe not since we ran for McCann. Don’t have Gameday so can’t keep track of what is happening

It’s funny that the last time Norton had an RBI was August 1st against the Dodgers also on FOX.

I don’t know about you, but I had Kelly Johnson and Greg Norton as the extra-innings run-producers all along.

Like several others, i am a feared Norton will be back next year thanks to that hit.
Imagine that Acotagame got two out with no runs yet

There is no way 1 hit in a meaningless game remotely improves the chances of Norton returning next year…Now BC may want him back but FW will not let it happen…

1. 3rd Place. It’s where Bobby Cox lives. It’s where he picks up his mail. Braves fans love it there. So do AJC writers. It requires very little effort in October.

2. Manny Acosta already has his Halloween costume picked out. He’s going to pretend to be a big league pitcher.

3. Norton!

4. The only reason Chipper is in the lineup against the Washington Generals (yeah, I know) is to pad his garbage-time batting average. And he’s in an 0-18 slump.

5. Derek Lowe finishes the season with more wins than Jair Jurrjens. Talk about a meaningless stat.

Trade Jurrjens? McLouth is a fourth outfielder? Ain’t Sheehan the same genius that said Yunel Escobar was nothing but a utility player, and that the Braves were dead wrong in their man crush in Escobar, and that they should’ve been starting Brent Lillibridge over Escobar on Opening Day 2008?
