That’s an interesting opening sentence. There are many here that do appreciate Chipper Jones.

McCann is getting worse and worse everyday it seems. He’s playing like it’s the last week of the season and he’s all wore out. What up with that?

A typical first inning.

Tomahawkin, man, you might as well chill. I don’t see them breaking out of this in a hurry. It’ll come slowly, but against this Carpenter, it’ll be one tough night for these hitters.

Take this for what it’s worth. The Braves just ended their half inning of the 1st without looking very good. By all accounts, the Braves should get their asses handed to them tonight because of the pitching matchup and the fact that Atlanta’s batting lineup really sucks with the exception of Prado, and even he is starting to cool down a bit. But, for some reason, I being the eternal pessimist, think that someone the Braves will pull this game out. Must be good drugs, right? Let’s see what happens.

Again, it is on the pitching. This offense is what it is. It wil get slightly better, but we better learn to win scoring 3 or 4 runs. If we don’t, we aren’t going to win a lot of games.

Going to miss the game again tonight. How about a win Braves fans? Can we make that happen?

Lowe keeps this up and we have as good a chance at winning this as the Cards do.

I have COX cable in Macon and they don’t have Peachtree TV but they generally show game on channel 11. On the guide it says they are showing the Braves game but instead they have some show selling gems on.

Nice Baserunning there, about time the braves did something half decent on the bases

Glaus was so slow there that he tricked the Cardinals.

Bat Masterson –
I didn’t say EVERYONE trashes Hoss. But it has become something of an anti-Chipper echo chamber in here of late. I go on other blogs frequently. Jeter could bat .078 for half a season and you wouldn’t find one Yankee blogger calling for his benching or retirement.
One remark like that about Chipper is one too many.
The apoplectic reactions to Chipper’s ups and downs are utterly absurd.
Oh, look at that: Chipper just walked AGAIN. Full count and Chipper sees a ball way outside from Carpenter. Didn’t offer anything he could drive. Case closed, folks.
If only we had a threat in the 6 hole to bolster McCann and Chipper.
Tomahawkin

I think Glaus is in pain down under. Just from reading his lips in the dugout to the trainer.
Brian from SC

Cabrera and Glaus suddenly have a pulse the last couple of games. Hope it gets contagious.

Braves pitchers have a three-game hitting streak, after having not a single hit before that.

Isnt it a ‘Cardinal’ sin to make the 1st or 2nd out at home? I slay myself.
But seriously…They almost got him at the plate after bouncing 2 throws from shallow CF. How is that good baserunning?

Hopefully Bobby doesn’t get promoted to GM
ST. LOUIS (AP)—Atlanta Braves manager Bobby Cox has an idea of how much St. Louis slugger Albert Pujols should get in his next contract: $50 million a year

I think Bobby was being a little facetious with that comment. I’m surprised it’s getting the press it has gotten.
TnBrian

8:43 pm
I’ve read where a lot of sinkerball pitcher goes through slumps because if they’re off their mark just a tad then they get hit hard. Lowe looks like he’s one of those guys.
Playoffs!?!?
April 27th, 2010
8:43 pm
Well, Brian from SC–I think John Hart has some insight on what’s going on around baseball. He’s a baseball insider that’s been around for years. He must of heard something from someone or more than one person that would make his say that.
And if there’s any truth at all in this comments—it’s a potential huge story.

They’re just pressing too hard. These guys can hit, they’ll be fine. Of course, we may be 10 games out by the time they snap out of it, so we’ll see…
