P’cola Brave i was actually thinking about how the phills and even the marlins would be good fits for Diaz. i think guys like matt are more likely to end up on teams within the divition than anywhere else due to the 18 pluss games they play against him. but that is an obv idea i dont have to tell the people on this blog why i thought that.

I thought it was some kind of psychological trick. Maybe if we make him think he’s great, he’ll play great.

“……….I thought it was some kind of psychological trick. Maybe if we make him think he’s great, he’ll play great…………”
Stuck on himself is exactly the opinion I formed after speaking with ESCOBAR once here in RICHMOND. ‘Course I was severely berated by the knowledgeable regulars here at the time. I mentioned my take on his thinking several times over the course of a couple of years with resultant hoots and howls of anguish, and I hoped numerous times out loud here that I hoped I was mistaken. Unfortunately, I wasn’t..

i really really really get mad when the braves lose to the mets… in fact last year i got a new desk cus when jeff francoeur hit the homer off wagner to win the game i put my fist thru it. yes i really hate the mets
my mom and sister love the mets who could like a team their sister and mother love?
i also compair met fans to the guys in homer simpsons dorm when he went back to collage. you remember those guys, the ones who demanded he shut the door when the sunlight shined in the dorm room? you could say they were a little less than popular guys.

oh now they weren’t really that awful all that time.onlt one season was real poor. that little 4 season glitch was pretty mild after 14 years compared to the long down times most teams go through. or compared to their previous history in Atlanta pre-1991

The 2006-07 Braves weren’t Awful, they just underachieved
Tomahawkin

We especially underachieved When we had Hoss-Tex-B-Macc hitting 3-4-5 from 07-08
Our pitching and defense let us down in those years…
Tex hitting 2 homers at our home games on Sundays was worth the admission to see…

pre 1991 i was too young to find an out of market team on tv that i didnt know much about.
i think qualifying whos a bigger fan and who was there in bad times is just silly. i dont care how big a fan anyone else is. i know im a fan and to what extent it honestly doesnt matter. as long as we all pay for tickets hats and our fav players shirt!
when talk radio guys start talking ratings i tune out even if i dont change the channel. what do i care who else is watching the game im watching? does anyone sit and watch a braves game and say “damn i wish more people were watching this game. it would make it so much better”… ratings matters to 1 group of people. the people on tv and radio. other than that no one really cares!
Go braves and i love everyone here for being braves fans no matter what you think of the team and how long youve been a fan!!!

Very True! i guess i get way more emotional but i wouldnt say that makes me bigger fan either… how ever i do think you have a lot of knowledge of the braves that should count for a lot. but again no one is claiming to be bigger fan here cus it all doesnt matter

Rockies are nearing a 10 year extension with Troy Tulowitzki that would potentially overlap/overwrite his current deal (which is the 3rd year in the 6 year deal he already signed). So I presume it’ll cover the final 3 of that 6 year deal and add 7 basically.

TT is pretty good. and he still won’t be all that old after 10 years.Hits pretty good on the road too.
still kinda chancy though, most real long deals do not turn out well. I like him and the Rox, hope it works out well.

The Games That Make Me lose it is when we play teams like the Pirates or Nats and end up scoring 1 run on 3 hits against a 1st or second year pitcher with an era over 6…
I understand that can happen to anyteam at anytime but it happend WAYYYY Too much in 2009 during the first 5 months of the season….
Or when we choke in Close Games against Philly in September….Those make me want to go and Kick the TV

I think D.O.B. was putting people on BLAST for the reason that he is sick of the Esco talk that draggs on as if its is his Role to play “Ricki Lake” and dissect the emotions and all the other stuff that was going on with Esco and Braves MGMT/Media over the last 18 months or so…
I have been done with Esco since a month after Gonzo took over. I will admit that I compare both SS range but it was simple I Couldn’t take anymore of ESCO after that game in The Rotten Apple wher he missed that pop up and lollygagged that throw to Trouble-T-Roy…
I remember that game because I was t Hudson Grille that nite and I was damn near whining on this chicks shoulder, going off about Esco, saying “I Simply Can’t Take It Anymore”…I was So P’d at Esco that night I was whining….
