Watching the Mets and Phillies and wondering out who to pull for is like being stuck in hell watching Hitler and Saddam in a cage match and wondering the same thing.

As much as I’d like Hanson go for the complete game, Bobby has to do what’s best for the team in order to get this much needed win.

Even if that was a homer, there’s no need for Chip to hit that decibel

Let’s be honest the rate our pitchers usually pitch they will never have a CG. I’d rather Bobby risk it, considering Hanson has only thrown about 100 pitches in 8 innings, and has hardly made it out of the 5th without throwing 100.

MFin04 – very close and Pence had to make a leaping catch at the wall to rob it.

Braves win, Tommy goes 8 for the with 7K and 2R. Billy closes it out after what seems like 40 days off. Heyward hits 2HR if Pence didn’t eat his Wheaties this morning. Blog was pretty much doom and gloom free in-game. Hawks pull it out. Pretty darn good day if you ask me.

I absolutely loathe Bobby Cox.
Your pitchers want to pitch Bobby! You’re going to deny young Tommy Hanson of his first complete game in his career… for the second time? Against the Astros, again?!
Wagner doesn’t need to pitch any more than Tommy does. I can’t help feeling like that hurts Tommy’s confidence to do that.
Surely he wants to finish the game. That’s what pitchers are supposed to do. It would not have killed him to let him pitch the 9th. 99 pitches? Give me a break.
Don’t you want a complete game to give the bullpen a rest. Totally unecessary. If he’s not ready yet to throw more than 100 pitches then when will he be?
Pisses me off.
