My f***ing laptop.

I spend probably twenty minutes writing another of my insightful and illuminating posts and it effing freezes on me.

It does that way too much. Piece of crap.

The laptop, that is. Not my post. The post was anything but. You all missed out big time.

I even tried to copy and paste it to Word but… no dice. This is a major loss for all involved.

Aaron Heilman sucks.

It would be nice to not blow this game like I fear they might.

And I could view you as a first class idiot for believing that Chipper is anything but a self-serving lump of mud Jerald

yeah he has never done anything at all to help the team, like switch positions or defer money. Self-serving lump of mud it is, anybody with any sense at all knows that.

“And I could view you as a first class idiot for believing that Chipper is anything but a self-serving lump of mud.”

you can call chipper many things – stubborn, a redneck, old… but self-serving is kind of ridiculous. he’s shown dedication to the team in a million ways.

awesome job mlbtv – it’s ridiculous what a poor product they put out. absolutely ridiculous. near constant problems.

I don’t know why anyone who has to pay for the Braves telecast would choose anything other than MLB Extra Innings. Not only do you get almost every Braves game, you get almost every MLB game in both leagues.

High Definition? Yes, almost always, but if you don’t get it on the Braves feed, you can usually get it on the opponents feed.

Steve, I think it’s slightly more than last year. I wouldn’t mind Volchenkov. Letang and Goligoski are pretty solid puck moving defenseman. We’ll see.

If Minor’s new found skill of missing bats is real, than that would brea fantastic. Wait and see approach with him.

Jerald, I think you might be the idiot. Is that why Chipper has reworked his contract twice so the Braves could bring in some better players?

Don’t be such a dumbass. He reworked those contracts back when he still had game. We were doing fine without Chipper, but he had to put himself back into the lineup, even though he moves around like an old man and the best he can muster is warning track power. He could at least tell Bobby that he should hit lower in the order until he comes around, but noooooo! He has to bat 3rd and kill every rally that presents itself. That is self-serving. But, on the other hand, I’ll cut Chipper some slack because almost all baseball players are self-serving. He definitely is not alone.

Wayne in Utah

As much as I like KJ, I prefer him to hit against OTHER teams, and not us.

Just somebody who thinks Chipper is past his prime and shouldn’t be batting third.

Is that just not something a true Braves fan would ever say?

It sort of goes back to when RHR concluded that me stating my opinion that Martin Prado, among others, is a better clutch hitter than Chipper was somehow worthy of ridicule.

I like Chipper just fine actually. I just think it’s foolish to think of him at this point as the guy to lead the offense.

And there you have it.

Braves better be comeback kids in the 9th.

Why shouldn’t a closer be used in the 9th of a tie game. I don’t think it matters, with a good closer.
