The post season is where Lowe earns the 15 million that he’s making.
The Braves face a youngster tonight, and should be able to hit him. Aito was left off the roster for this kid, so it may not be peaches and cream.

Jerry, you can tell it was not me as I actually know the difference between “your” and you’re”. I can actually spell Journeyman and post season run. Also, I end my sentence with periods.
Is someone impersonating you or just another Trey?

“Gonzo playing nice 3rd backup there.”
It almost looked like Troy’s old 3B instincts told him to go cut that ball off, and the current range instincts told him to let it go and let Gonzo make the long throw from the hole. Like he flinched to go after it and just went…. nah. Gonzo will get it.
That’s a play that Chipper has made a living on (and Glaus likely did to years ago), moving to the left and taking the short throw.

[Comment From Shine]
Is last night proof Bobby Cox needs to retire?
David Kull (ESPN.com MLB sr. editor): No, it’s proof that Brooks Conrad should concentrate on hitting a baseball rather than catching one from now.

If Lowe gives us seven full innings of six or fewer hits – scoreless – I will give him a pass for the 2011 season!
Trey

Jerry, I believe an impersonator as it happened immediately after getting into it with Coach. It could have been another Trey, but I doubt that very much. I was getting into it with coach when he was trash talking Bobby and not even five minutes later, what do ya know, “Trey” posts all those rude comments.

Conrad was not suppose to be a full time starter when the season started. He was the second back up middle infielder behind Infante. Great for an occassional start and switch hitter late in the game. He did more this season than anyone expected. Plays as hard as anyone on the team.
It’s not like he is doing this on purpose.
You have to remember, although he is 30 years old, he is still a rookie after many years in the minors.
Hopefully he will get to PH tonight with the game on the line and hit a bomb! A walk off would be awesome.
I think having Glaus in the line up gives the team a better offensive weapon. I like Diaz hitting #2. Best offensive option in the OF over MC and NM. Ankiel needs to be in for defnese and the potential for hitting the HR.
Braves need to cough up some $ in the off season for an OF with some pop. Once Chipper and Prado are back Omar to OF.

“If Lowe gives us seven full innings of six or fewer hits – scoreless – I will give him a pass for the 2011 season!”
He already earned that from me with his September when we needed him most and with that game one matchup with Lincecum where the umpire and the defense failed him. Even if he gives up 12 runs in 5 innings tonight, he’s shown me enough gonads to want him on the team next year.

Obviously, Lowe’s last 6 starts, as well as tonight, it has to be his longest stretch of excellence since he’s been here. Hope he continues this into next season.
