If the Yankees get Dunn, in addition to Berkman, is there any chance we can beat them in the World Series ?

When you watch fat pig Melky play centerfield—his huge gut bouncy-bouncey–failing to get even near that Texas League single, you know you HAVE TO GET THAT FAT PIG OFF THE FIELD!!!

braves need to trade for jose guillen and zack grienke of the royals.
They can give up hanson,mclouth,and 1 or 2 minor leaguers.

No. F.Y. #6.
Make a real damn lineup without 2 easy outs in the middle of it. Play your OF who has been ON FIRE since he returned from injury. Sit your 1B and play Hinske there.
Do all of that, and I’ll F myself. Let me know when I can get started on that.

Wren should be fired if they don’t make a big move by the deadline. Lowe, Kawakami, and McLouth = fail. And I’m sick of hearing about McLouth’s “progress” at AAA. The guy sucks.

noleeee, please share with us. You use that on so many occasions. Clearly there is a time and place where “The Sky is Falling” is an appropriate thing to say otherwise you wouldn’t throw it out there so gd much.
If we miss out on the playoffs for a fifth straight year, would the sky be falling then? What if Jason Heyward reinjures his thumb and is gone for the rest of the season. Would that finally mean the sky is falling.
Or are you just that unoriginal that you can’t think of anything else worthwhile to say? Do you really think the Braves are going to come back and win this game? I’m not saying they won’t but can you at least see why some people would be less than optimistic?
One of these days the sky is literally going to fall and when that day comes we’re all going to die because we didn’t do anything about it because you say it all the time and we don’t know whether to believe you. So think about that.

Yeah, and there’s this old lady down the end of my street who has a garage sale with the same overpriced crap out there every weekend.
Maybe one of those Gary Matthews Jr. deals, where the ceding team pays $11m of the $11.5m salary.

Can’t blame Prado. Guys like Chipper and Glaus have been letting stink bombs off for too long now. You look at McCann and see an All Star catcher, but the guy isn’t consistant enough to carry an offense. I know people drool over Mac, but facts are facts …. he will never be able to carry an offense the way Chipper did that one year. At least not if the trend continues where he’s hot and cold in any given at bat.

That enitire Reds’ 3-run rally after the balk–yes it was a balk—came about because that overweight rat eat-too-many Melk-Duds couldn’t come close to catching the Orlando Cabrera pop-fly single.
The entire inning revolved off that horrible play by Melk-Dud.

BravesFan2010, they are NOT getting what you call a ‘power hitter’. Look at all the talk about them going hard after Ross. I don’t call 7 HR in late July a power hitter. They’re more than likely getting a platoon guy for CF. Nothing said or written would make me believe anything else.
