Coach, well we might as well let him rot in the bullpen, because I read that his contract will not allow us to demote him.

Agreed Supes. Alright, time for some classic Ackroyd and Chase. I don’t even remember if Spies like Us was funny or not. But it was in the $5.00 bin at Wal-mart. Had to get it. I’ll soon find out I guess.

not much they can do unless they are willing to eat 10 mil, which I really doubt. I wouldn’t trust him either as a reliever except in blowouts, and we really don’t get many of those.

That says it all right there. I’ve never met anybody who’s seen five seconds of Dr. Detroit or even heard of it.

Speaking of silly stuff, I usually don’t go for them if it’s too silly. My favorite silly (IMO) movies, off the top of my head (with a pie in my face) are “Blazing Saddles”, “Young Dr. Frankenstein”, “Sherlock Holmes’ Smarter Brother” (all with Gene Wilder), and a few of the “Pink Panther” movies, with Peter Sellers.
I’m not crazy about slap-stick, but Sellers took it too a different level, IMO.

DOB, Great concert here in the City by the Bay. Ryan Bingham and Zac Brown in an outdoor concert at Ft. Mason. I went to see Bingham, and he was great. Surprisingly (to me), I really liked Zac Brown (especially Martini-the violin (fiddle) player). To those in Atlanta suffering from the heat, it was 59 degrees with a 10-15 mph wind. I would have preferred the heat. There was actually a nice crowd, considering it was country music in SF, not exactly a country music town. I wore my Braves cap and ran into a lot of Georgia ex-pats.

Our Braves are 7-8 since the All-Star break while scoring 4.4 runs per game, and even the average is deceiving because Atlanta won two game scoring 10 and 11 runs respectively.
I looked at Cots baseball and it doesn’t mention anything about the Braves not being able to send Kawakami down to the minors.
Time for Tommy to nail down today’s game, lord knows another series loss would really hurt.

Why are we all stuck on “silly”? They’re called comedies last time I checked. Come on people.
I actually just saw Up In The Air. The main character’s name is Ryan Bingham. Is that not just unbelievable?
The thought that there could be two Ryan Bighams on this great planet of ours. Okay I guess one is technically fictional.
I was not overwhelmed by it. In fact, you might say it’s a little over-rated.
But there is a scene that might appeal to DOB’s tastes. One of the female leads is in Atlanta in one scene and asks George Clooney for a good BBQ joint and he tells her Fat Matt’s.
Get it? Tastes? Barbecue?
Imagine the business they get based on that alone. Man.

So are we all still trying to convince ourselves that the Braves are going to win the World Series?
I wish people wouldn’t do that. It’s not going to happen.
“Win one for Bobby,” they say. Bobby had his chances.
At least we didn’t trade away the future just to give Bobby the supposed best possible chance to win it all. It’s not going to happen.
Odds are we’re going to lose in the playoffs but if Chipper, Troy, Melky and Nate keep it up we won’t even make it.
How anybody can have any faith that this team will win the division given their current state is beyond me. I’m not a believer. I hate to say it. I was in Spring Training. I was during the All Star break. They’ve been through stretches like this in the past and Ryan Zimmerman helped us out tonight, which I enjoyed seeing just for it’s own sake, but I see a team that is currently pretty helpless. I can’t stand to watch many more innings like the first inning today. They do it every game and it’s pain inducing.
I’m just glad I was in my car today and that my signal went out right at the last minute before Melky’s blunder. I would have probably broken something.
I mean, I’ve gathered over time that people think the tone of some of my comments in the heat of the moment reflect my literal, physical state but that’s not really the case. Hate to break it to you… no pun intended.
It’s just words on a computer screen. I generally mean what I write, unless of course I don’t, but I’m not exactly ripping the wallpaper off the walls when somebody gives up a home run.
That being said, if I was watching at home while that was going on, there very well might have been some minor property damage. I possibly would have broken my chair. I did that last year when we lost to the Nationals when we blew a 3-0 lead on July 4th. It was a piece of junk little desk chair.
It had it coming.
I cannot freaking believe we traded for Kyle Farnsworth. He should be like on the Braves no fly list. I realized we played the Royals this year but I tried not to notice him. I never wanted to see that guy for as long as I lived. I can’t believe he’s a Brave again. After what he did against the Astros in ‘05. He should wear a skull and crossbones instead of the number 43.
How could they give him a number one digit away from Hank Aaron’s 44? That’s not right.
And with that I say good night.

OK, this is for all you undead M-F’ers out there like me.
My little list of some sleepers most haven’t seen.
Undead (2003) An Australian flick with some wicked humor. Sort of a Shaun of the Dead meets aliens.
Automaton Transfusion (2006) Low budget flesh ripper with some surprisingly good special effects.
Boy Eats Girl (2005) Get your minds out of the gutter. This is a small Irish movie with an even smaller budget.
Flight of the Living Dead (2007) The title pretty much explains it all, except there isn’t anywhere to run.
Dead Snow (2009) Nazi zombies, need I say more. It’s in Norwegian so don’t mind the letters scrawling across the screen, just watch the awesome chain saw splatter.
Insanitarium (2008) Ok, they are crazy and dead at the same time. Well worth the buck to watch this one.
Dance of the Dead (2008) Imagine getting to your high school prom while trying to not be eaten. Good times this one.
Undead or Alive (2007) Guns don’t kill people, zombies kill people. You even get to see Chris Kattan trying to outwit the undead cowboys.
Evil or Evil To Kako (2005) It was made in Greece but the director was faithful to his creation. Sub titles and all, it’s a pure gore fest.
Dead and Breakfast (2004) What can I say, the dead can line dance! Here is a link:

Mitchie-san, one? That’s it, ONE? And you call yourself a horror movie fan?
I’m not a horror movie fan, yet I’m still familiar with SIX of those titles, and I’ll tell you how.
“Flight of the Living Dead” — This is what they were calling every April Braves’ flight.
“Dead and Breakfast” — McLouth at his first meal of the day.
“Boy Eats Girl” — Never mind!
“Undead” — Troy Glaus between May 1st and June 15th.
“Evil or Evil To Kako” — The racist commenter of the blog whenever Kawakami used to pitch.
“Insanitarium” — Where do you think you’re reading this, right now?

OK, waggingdoggiesbreggee (if you’re trying for the most unique moniker, you have my vote!), I have your location narrowed down to this:
Morocco, Algeria, Western Sahara, Mauritania, Mali, Senegal, The Gambia,Guinea-Bissau, Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Dote d’Ivoire, Ghana, Burkina Faso, Togo or Benin.
That’s if you’re in Eastern Africa. Ireland, Portugal, and the before mentioned UK are still a possibility. Along with being home on that, also, before mentioned LSD trip.

Meh – on both the trades we have made in the last month. Now I look at the return for Yunel and get even more depressed. Gonzalez, Ankiel, Farnsworth, Pastornicky and cash for Escobar, Chavez, Blanco, and Collins. Oh well. I just hope neither Farnsworth or Ankiel are on this team for the prices that they are currently owed next year. Far too much money for either player in my opinion. If anything, Wren has increased the team’s depth – if that was even possible, given that this is the deepest team they’ve had in a long time. He also did it without trading any of his elite prospects, which he spoke about.

For you folks saying that we couldn’t have gotten Ludwick because St. Louis wanted a starting pitcher…did you pay attention to the trade at all? Ludwick went to San Diego…San Diego did not give up a ML pitcher…Cleveland sent the pitcher to St. Louis, not San Diego. Ah, 3-team trade. See how it could have worked without giving up an ML pitcher?

All is not all lost:
Glaus is on the D/L someone tell Cox..solution: bring Freeman up
Chipper is a shell of the man…. get him out of the three spot
Gonzo is still ill..needs a couple of days off to get his strentgh back
Someone tell Hanson when something doesn’t go your way.. let it go and concentrate on the next batter… forget Ump’s call or any defensive miscues.. sh*t happens.. get over it and stop sulky oh and by the way, what’s with getting two strikes on every batter and can’t seem to close the deal?
Bobby’s three ball count… just stand there and take a pitch has got to go.. every team we play knows that is an automatic take sign. this usually backfires for us 90% of the time. Take a swing at the best pitch you will see all night. just occasionally give the hit sign.
Play Infante and Diaz more often
We may not win every game or get deep in the playoff’s however this team is entertaining. They don’t play dead. This team needs tweaking to be better.

Will Troy be in there today? Or does Bobby load the lineup with lefties?
Infante

Chipper
Mac
Ankiel (CF)
Hinske (1B)
A-Gon
The Dud (LF)
Or is The Dud benched for his adventures in the OF and Diaz get a start against a righty? If Nate could/would actually throw the darn ball, I would rather have him as a 4th OF than The Dud.

Up EARLY on this cloudy Sunday morning in Chattanooga.
I’d like to start off by saying Ludwick would’ve been nice to get. I’d much rather have him than Ankiel, but I’ll use some common sense here and say that a 3-team trade has to be a thought out process that had probably been going on for a while and it’s very possible Wren offered something to the Cards and didn’t like what he had to offer. Who knows, not gonna sulk over that.
Also, no way Farnworth will intentionally cost his team a game. Like DOB said, he’s playing for a contract and I can’t imagine he’d do that anyways.
DOB has a very “funny” way about him it seems, Trey. I have an uncle with that dry sense of humor and for whatever reason I never get mad at him when he makes comments that make you scratch your head and go “HUH”. That’s just the way some people are. I figure he does that to everybody and I don’t take it personal. He gives us lots of good stuff on our Braves though, that O’Brien, so gotta like him for that.
Later.

TnBrian, agreed. I was just pointing out that we wouldn’t have necessarily had to give up an ML ready pitcher for him. But, I continue to be surprised. I do hope FW at least kicked the tires on him, but from most published stories; most folks didn’t even know he was available. I am sure FW is a little Theo like in that regard though…call every team about every player you think is a fit…that seems to be what Theo does most of the time.

DOB, again, there was no sense to go off with that wicked sarcasm of yours on Trey for his comment on the photo of Farnsworth looking unhappy. Really, not everybody knows those photos are computerized or whatever. Your blog, you da man, do what you want, but that’s my opinion.

Rizzo and Anthonopolous come off looking bad, in my opinion. You can’t ask for players like Hanson or Matt Garza for a two month rental like Dunn. Or Jesus Montero for 2 months of Scott Downs. You come off looking delusional.

Hate to see Prado out od the line up. Glad Omar can step in. He and McCann were the Braves’ offense last night.
Oh, I’ll miss Chavez. Who will be Cox’ go-to gut when he wants to lose a ball game? Maybe Kawakami?

Jeff R – why not use KK last night when were down 3, its not like it mattered then cause if Bobby really thought it through he could have pinch hit for Troy with Conrad that inning and didnt, even though it is clear to anyone not crazy that Glaus is HURT BAD

dap01: Regarding Glaus, believe me, there are people in the organization who’ve noticed what you have, that he looks like he’s playing hurt.

menlobrave: i’m envious (about the Bingham concert, and the 59-degree conditions). Though I gotta say, it’s felt great here in Cincy, temps in 70s’ and low 80s for the past two days and nights. (By the way, speaking of Zac Brown, I had a Facebook friend request this morning from Bubba Brown. Fairly sure they’re unrelated…)
If yesterday hadn’t been such a long one at the park, with so much to write and a Fox-lengthened game, etc, I’d hoped to go see Yo La Tengo playing across the river in Kentucky. Alas, didn’t leave ballpark till about 10 p.m.
There was also a big R&B festival going on at Paul Brown Stadium (the football stadium, a few blocks from the baseball park). Bunch of acts over two days, including Erykah Badu and, from my high school days, Cameo. Shake your pants….
We’ll try to get a new blog up before gametime today, at least a short blog. Thanks to all for the fine participation the past two days. Oh, and Trey, nothing personal last night. Just a little good-natured ribbing. I just couldn’t let the multiple comments go when you suggesed a player who hasn’t even arrived yet would try to help his new team lose out of spite, and that he looked unhappy to be a Brave, etc.

Glaus – .160/.307/.240 in his last 153 plate appearances. That’s 36 games and dates back to June 15th – the series after the Minnesota game where he had 4 hits.
From May 1st to June 13th, 41 games, his bating line was .336/.416/.605 in 178 plate appearances.
Then of course, as we know, in 23 April games, Glaus hit .194/.310/.292 in 84 plate appearances.

Well, I ‘ve heard RICK ANKIEL has been called many things, but “….power hitter….” hasn’t been one of them. Lrt’s see what the “experiment” has left. Maybe he’s a pitcher in disguise.

Top of the morning to you DOB! Do you know if the Bravos checked in on Ludwick? They seemed more focused on a CF which tells me they didn’t really want to move J-Hey there.

Maybe this trade with KC is some kind of new voodoo, tantric, pilates inspired eastern philosophy FW is following… we take back 2 pitchers who we helped destroy in the postseason (well actually 1 destroyed us), 1 as a hitter and make them good again in the 2010 post-season……

McJason: I’ll try to find out. But I think they wanted a CF after the McLouth situation, and, as you said, really didn’t want to move Heyward despite saying he could play there.
