I love Chipper but this Roger Dorn act he is playing is killing us…I’d rather him go on the DL now so he will be ready for War in the 2nd Half…
Plus with Infante at 3rd can be a blessing in disguise

Braves with the lead with out ace looking sharp [...]
I’m not watching the game, just following it on Gameday. Isn’t Hanson looking sharp? I mean, 6 IP, 4 H, 2 ER, 0 BB, 6 K and 57 strikes out of 83 pitches.

Right on cue, a mETs fan enters the blog annoying as hell. METS MADNESS act like you guys have been there before dude. What exactly have you guys won? Last time I checked they don’t hand out awards for winning the division in April. Its bold, I’ll give you that. Your a fan of a team that normally chokes braging about your teams early good play. Meanwhile we all feel kinda sorry for you because we’ve all seen this movie before: Mets, high payroll and all, get into first place only to fail in epic fashion. Let us know when you guys do actually win something.

I think you’re right on all points. I don’t want to jinx Tommy with CG talk, but the pitch count is there. Bobby will probably get Wags some work either way.

Nice to see Hanson turn this start around, keep the pitch count down, and get deeper into a game.
Now it looks like we’ve solved the 1, 2, and 6 spots.
Now we just need to find a 3,4, and 5 hitter. Yowzers! 0 for 8 .

Way to go Tommy Gun! This is what I have been talking about! A pitcher stepping up and going 8 innings or more! Love it…absolutely love it. If we start hitting at all and score 4 runs a game, we will win a LOT…well, except when Lowe or KK pitch. (:
