Joe Simpson on Chipper’s HR: “The Old Grey Mare she ain’t what she used to be…but she’s still got a few trots left in her.”
Joe is the best in baseball.

Suffice it to say that Joe Blanton isn’t fooling anybody right now. He’s lucky to have gotten any outs thus far.

Now I’m a believer in the Chipper resurgence. 6 hits in his last 3 games. To thinjk the only problem was he needed to alter his batting stance

Personally, I like the white hats on the Braves. Sort of a turn of the (19th) century look. They look dumb on the Phils, with their gray away unis.
God, aren’t we all just praying for Chip to muster some of his old self, if only for one last season? That homer was soul-cleansing.

You can’t just let the Phillies back into this game, Hanson.
Buckle down and pitch! At least make them hit the ball…

During the Braves’ 9-game skid, there were Phillies’ fans on the Braves.com site posting some comments, saying ”they were afraid of the Braves this year because this is a good team with a great potential that was going through a bad break, but if hot, they would become a *great threat* for the Phils”
Here we are!!

McFann:
The official score keeper at Turner Field is brutal. Especially, hard on Braves players as I see it. I thought Glaus’ AB could have been scored either way, but the Mac double that was ruled an E-9 last homestand was ridiculous. Yes, I know I am preaching to the choir.

You must be the stupidest person i have met. When a kid that is in his sophomore year has a few bad starts you don’t just pull him out of the rotation and and stick him in the pen.
