The Shake Weight commercial is bad, but nothing is quite like that STUPID Wild Bill’s commercial…dang, I can’t stand that one…

Big inning here for JJ. Last time he’ll face the heart of the order, more than likely.

Two batters too late with that one. Though I understand why Cox left him in – see if he could steal one more inning.

Lawton

very tough spot here for Moylan. He is facing a veteran hitter who is a really tough out with bases loaded and no one out.

Why do you have a 1 after your name?
chilidog75

An unintentional-intentional there. No need for Moylan to throw strikes to a lefty.
Mitchell

Okay, here’s where you take Moylan out.
I think he’s done enough.
TnBrian

Good idea to walk Guzman. He’s a singles machine.

The 1 makes the Turtles spell “100″, for McCann’s career 100 home runs.
Lawton

tristan:
Saito and Moylan are both good. Very few relievers are solid all season, start to finish. Virtually all of them have rough stretches. I know it’s challenging to have your two best RH relievers struggle at the same time, but its the sort of things that all MLB teams deal with throughout the course of a season.

Lawton, I agree. I should change my name to pessimist or sarcastic. I was more or less referring to who was worse at the time since both have been going through bad stretches. Chavez had two good long relief appearances and I can’t speak for the rest of the year for him.
Roman Gal

That’s a terrific job by Moylan. Bases loaded, none out. One run.
Trey

McFann – Didn’t you have the 100 even before his 100th career home run?

take it back, great work by moylan, back to his best of last year. hopefully can become more consistent. Lets get some insurance runs now
Lawton

ok, tristan. I hear ya’. As for Chavez, I agree. He has the arm. Maybe he has the stuff. The execution certainly hasn’t been there often enough.

I consider myself the biggest Braves fan I know, but how can anyone seriously vote for McCann over Molina? I love him to death. I even wear his number on my softball team, but if World Series home field advantage is going to be determined by the outcome of the AS game, I can’t, haven;t and won’t vote for McCann over Molina. I cannot justify it. Molina’s defensive abilities cover up the short comings he may have on offense against McCann. I guess you could say I am not voting for McCann because I am a Braves fan and want the NL to win the AS game. I think Molina gives the NL a better chance to win.

Willingham looks mean in the face. I wonder if he is.
Funny you should say that… I actually know his parents (went to church with them for a while, and my brother & his family are still pretty good friends with them), and have met him briefly. They’re outstanding people… I’ve always wished the Braves would pull the trigger on getting him, for that reason in addition to his bat.

Hinske needs to sit and Infante needs to be inserted in the #2 hole because MELKY is NOT getting it done

Pelfrey finally out of the 1st, after 40 pitches. 2 runs allowed on 4 hits, no walks. Hope the Marlins can stay “hot” for a few more hours before going into a 3-game slump after tonight’s game.

You’re asking the wrong question. I could easily vote for McCann over Molina, but Miguel Olivo is having a great season. He’s the one I feel bad for voting McCann over.
