Too bad it’s not the nation’s first state-chartered school.

But I guess only one awesome school can hold that title.

49 yards of total offense. That’s embarrassing. I’ll bet me, Lentz, and Norton could get at least 20.

WOW I see that D.O.B.’s Facebook Group is up to almost 200 members…

Well, nevermind. Looks like it’s halftime for VJ’s team.

JJ the pitcher, JJ the blogger, or JJ the fat guy?

DirecTV took Versus off their lineup because they wanted to charge too much money…oh well (maybe VJ will get to see it)

Wow, McClouth has been tough to watch was a Brave. I believe that is already 6 times he has been caught stealing as a Brave. When they got him he had only been caught stealing 2 times in his career. Although he has experienced some hamstring problems, it is safe to say he has been a disappointment in Atlanta.

McLouth had 5 CSs before he was a Brave, btw.

The Braves as a team have been difficult to watch on this homestand, it’s almost as if they have become complacent and just going through the motions.

Yeah, I like to pick on Nate a bit, so I guess that is negative. Thanks for setting me straight on the amount of Caught stealings with the Pirates

At least we are playing a good game on offense so far today.

Does anyone know who’s calling the games in the TBS games…
I know Chip Caray will bge doing it. I’m curious if Joe Simpson will be callinbg those games as well?
Ron Darling will be there but who else
Maybe Buck Martinez…? He’s pretty good…
Nice stab by ESCO…

In any case, they need at least two outfielders, even granting Heyward gets there in the summer. Nate McLouth is still a fourth OF masquerading as a starting CF.
I’m not a huge Nate McLouth fan, but I think calling him a fourth outfielder is a little harsh. I will say this though, the guy hasn’t been very good against lefties over the course of his career: .242/.317/.390 in 521 plate appearances. Another reason why we need a RH hitter, as oppose to a LH hitter.

If we lose these last 2 then our last 30 we will be 15-15 so much for that 15-2 streak. FIRE COX

Which is why I like they music they play at other stadiums better.
Soph

5:16 pm
Thanks, McFann. I had flipped channels and when I switched back, Mac was bent over and Bobby & the trainer were looking at him. I figured it was a foul ball.
David O'Brien

I guess it’s a credit to Chipper that he’s still showing plate discipline. But if that’s me with that homer streak on the line — he needs two to become the first major leaguer ever to start his career with 15 seasons with at least 20 homers — then I’m up there hacking.
McFann O

Of course FOX has to bring up the whole Believe thing again.
Efrim

I’d advocated moving Jurrjens, but I’m less certain of that now, because while I think there’s risk with him, there’s clearly upside. But he could bring back the kind of hitter the Braves could really use, a talent-under-control like Jurrjens.
Second writer for BP that has brought it up. I get that it would bring back what we need, and probably a young power hitter too. But I think given the age of our other starters, it just wouldn’t make sense to trade Jair. I understand that his perceived value may be higher than his actual value, but there are quite a few young pitchers like that, and because they’re still so cheap, it doesn’t make sense for their current clubs to trade them. But I get the reasoning behind it, just don’t think it’s the right scenario for this Braves team.

CB
October 3rd, 2009
5:24 pm
Efrim, agreed on Jurrjens, why would we trade him at his age unless it is for a Longoria or Braun type player. It would have to be a very good power hitter.

Willie Harris was removed from the game with an oblique strain. I’m afraid it could be season-ending.

The Braves have been all or nothing offensively all season, but this is just unbelievable the way that they have hit against the pitchless Washington Nationals.
They should donate their last 3 games checks to charity!!!

Too bad the Braves couldn’t have shut it down a few days ago. Because they are a different team than they were during the 15-2 surge. Just sleepwalking.

DOB,
All of the BRAVES should be hacking! How much of a difference would it make it the results that they’ve achieved thus far?
One hit and no runs against a pitcher that came into the game with a plus 5 era!!
jeffrey d
October 3rd, 2009

And our first big run of the game comes halfway through the 3rd quarter!
McFann – I think it was meant to be funny

94! Wasn’t a double, but I’ll take it.

Awesome swing there by Mac.
You have to be worried about Chipper. He’s an out making machine these days & if the team is serious about getting to the playoffs next year & going deep in it, Chipper’s either going to have to get better or hit lower in the lineup. There’s no way I could see Bobby doing that because he’s Chipper Jones. And I don’t think he’ll be Francoeur-like enough for Cox to consider it.
Hearing Wren on the radio this afternoon does make you feel good though. He knows a power bat is a must and says he would ideally like to get a RH one that can give you 30 or more HR’s.

Do You Plan on Posting on the Facebook Blog since the regular blog will start slowing down after the playoffs…?
If I’m correct there is a lot of deadtime after the Awards are handed out as well as we find out who will file for free agancy…

I am so bummed Boog is leaving!I have enjoyed listening to he & Joe so very much…they spoiled me so that I couldn’t stand it when the game was on another channel! Boog is smart & funny with a unique style that I really loved. I understand why he’s going, sounds like an upward move! Good luck, we will miss you!! As for my fave Brave Matty D: I am so upset I won’t get to see him play when I’m at the game Sunday with my Mom & kids! I was considering making a sign & everything, something along the lines of :Hey, Matty D, you’re still OK with me! Thanks also to DOB & Caroll, I have really enjoyed this blog even the “loony tunes” bloggers who are so very dedicated. Goodbye Braves Blog. Onto the Falcons now…

I respect the heck out of Bobby for leaving JJ in. Guess he wants him to get the win as much as JJ himself. Poor guy has been robbed all season by his own offense.
