This is just demoralizing and embarrassing and terrible.
One GD hit in the first inning and the game would have been over. No, we can only take the runs we’re given. The guy hits Schafer and he gets to second. Then we get the one hit in the inning.
Then the walk and the wild pitch and you’ve got two runners in scoring position with one out.
A base hit by either Gonzalez or McLouth and the game is probably over.
They can’t do it. That one hit all year. I know we have a good record but that one hit we just can’t ever seem to get to put the game away.
Two runs in the first inning in that situation is not enough against anybody let alone the Nationals.
Booting balls in the outfield is not okay. Making the same damn mistakes over and over is unacceptable.
Hanson and Jurrjens are allowed to have bad games. It would be nice if once they would get some support.

Trading Lowe makes a lot of sense. It would allow much needed room for Minor or Teheran. It opens up salary to aquire a much needed bat. In the playoffs, which I think the Braves are a lock for at least the wildcard, You go with 4 starters at the most. That would mean a rotation of JJ, Hanson, Hudson and Beachy,all that have been better than Lowe. That 5th starter is not needed in the playoffs but that bat would be. 15 mil can get you a bat. Maybe a 3-way trade with Detroit and Tampa Bay. Maybe we could aquire a BJ Upton and Detroit send a bat or prospect to Tampa Bay along with (wishful thinking) Mclouth. Upton will get 7 mil in arbition next year, covered by Lowes salary save.
Tampa can’t afford Upton next year and he is on the block. He has speed, range, power and a good arm. Not a bad outfield of Prado, Upton, Heyward and Schaffer. Then Prado could spell Chipper once in a-while when he comes back.

DETROIT — Tigers manager Jim Leyland said a decision on Austin Jackson and his injured left wrist could come on Tuesday.
Jackson hasn’t played since July 10 and hasn’t started since July 7 while dealing with what he said was inflammation in his left wrist.
The outfielder came in as a defensive replacement twice in Kansas City before the All-Star break, but the Tigers are holding Jackson off for a few days while they determine if he will be placed on the disabled list.

Almost entire lineup is underachieving this season. You have the two young guys..Heyward & Schafer, who need a hand on maturing as a MLB players, and Parrish can’t even help touter the young guys. It’s flat out pathetic how Parrish continues to get a check and sink our lineup. Parrish: You’re suppose to help the young hitters not sink them.

KL–I know. A tongue-in-cheek comment from me. Just hoping that someday you’ll realize there are about two more players on this current club amongst whom your Schafer vitriol can be spread around.
Oh, that and if you don’t like Schafer there’s really no reason to defend AGon at all. They’re basically the same player for us.

Tomahawkin, now don’t go saying anything bad about the Kool Aid drinkers.
They’re people too.
People who like their ice cream vanilla flavored and white rice with Wonderbread.
Their favorite movie is anything with Cuba Gooding Jr. in it and they especially love fine wine, preferably from a box.
But most of all they love being in second place and by God there’s nothing wrong with that.
So just lay off, okay? Be nice.
