That Philly fan on here bragging makes you appreciate a rival fan like Anders who comes on here regardless.”

I never thought I would say this about a Mets fan but Anders does deserve some appreciation for that, and also for his willingness to show a sense of humor about his team. That’s not always an easy thing.

Looks like the Phils did to the Dodgers what they did to us last year. No lead is safe with that offense in that ballpark.

As bad as Broxton was he might have escaped that mess if Blake hadn’t gone all Gonzo out there and blown the chance at some outs. As the braves have shown us this year there are plenty of ways to blow a bases loaded nobody out situation where you can get one or no runs. Plenty of options, I think we have written the book on it.

Maybe sixteen was an overestimate.

How true.

But seriously…I’d take 38 doubles in August in a “down year”. But that’s ’cause I’m a weirdo I guess…

I am still stewing over this. I am a bit surprised at myself that I feel this way – that I personally have taken Chipper’s injury so hard. I’m just a fan. I love the Braves team, not the individuals. So why am I so bummed over one player’s injury?

Well, Carolina Lady hit the nail on the head. “Chipper is the last of THE Braves” she said. Yup. That’s it. He personifies The Run. And in some way, to me, he is a part of an ever dwindling pool of players who still play the game with respect. He is not, nor never shall he be one of the ME generation. He is the anti-Hanley Ramirez. And as he goes down, so goes another from a dying breed. In a time when the highlights and endorsements are littered with the Mannys of this game, I hold out hope that the Chippers of the game will still be there to keep the game respectable… to teach the youngsters how the game should be played.

Chipper doesn’t grandstand. He doesn’t flip his bat or tap his chest or point to the sky. He doesn’t do things that draw attention to himself. He just plays the game. He doesn’t cake pine tar on his helmet, or have a special handshake for each teammate, or wear 3 carat diamonds in each ear. He just plays the game. He doesn’t wear neon shoes, or frost his tips, or tweet every time the wind changes direction. He just plays the game. Or… he did.

He is one of the greats and a true Atlanta Braves icon. He is a HOF’er in waiting. I just hope that the 5 year clock didn’t start ticking on Tuesday night…
