This team is falling apart and all I see happening is Cox holding on and hoping that the law of averages will save him.Some people either need to be sat down or sent down. It’s time for an Animal House Moment — “this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody’s part.” Heck, put Ted Turner back in a uniform!

Something needs to be done to light a fire under them. The problem is this is Bobbys last year and he isnt going to want changes. That means no firing of TP or anybody else. we are going to see this team sink or swim. They may make trades but that wont happen until later in the year. The Braves could be way out of it by then and a trade then would be futile.
so, where do we stand? We stand amonst the waiting. We wait and see what happens and in the meantime we continue to go to bed with our lips poked out.
We need a win.

You don’t get it. The Braves are already out of it.

Infield fly rule: Catch the ball, watch the base runners, not the chick in the stands.
