Dumb Cub fans,
I love me some Bernie Mac but you guys should have never have let him in the building. The guy was a notorious White Sox fan.
RIP of course.

I… just…can’t believe this team. If it weren’t for the Sox, I’d say this was the biggest white flag surrender in modern baseball history, 2nd only to the Mets/Glavine collapse a few years ago.

This why Fredi got fired. Of course silly Bobby defended Fredi like he is his long lost son (rolls eyes), but you definitely take what that old guy says with a grain of salt. Anyways, he has shown he cannot lead a team, not a playoff team anyways.
And I have defended Gonzalez all year. Not any more. The man will bring this awful collapse with him into next spring. Just can’t do that and remind all the guys of this nightmare. Need a fresh start.
Jerry
September 27th, 2011

I will consider this failure a blessing in disguise if the front office fires Fredi after the season is over. He couldn’t win with the Marlins and he has done less than expected here. He’s just not very good and simply is an enabler of his players. They don’t put out because their manager makes excuses for them.

people, people, this is simply not a good team. The begining of the season was a fluke with great starting pitching which has evaporated with injuries and lowe. ALL season the hitting has been amateurish and the managing immature. If this leads to the team being blown up -GOOD-mccann,lowe,uggla(i know,a dream),heyward,seabass,diaz,chipper all need to go. (just saw jh K-that was easy). Of course FG and parrish are gone. Ina coupla years we could be competitive, if WRENN is fired.THAT IS ALL,NOTHING TO GET VIOLENT ABOUT!!
Looks like they are saving themselves for tommarrow…..

Not watching the game anymore, but this is just flat out disgraceful. I’m a lifelong fan as well cabravesfan, but it’s hard to remain positive knowing that collapses have set franchises back for years.

If Bourn was still playing for the Astros, he’d actually be in a game with real playoff implications.

For those of you thinking that the Braves should have traded for Pence rather than Bourn just know that Pence probably would have become injured or performed well below expectations simply because whenever somebody puts on an Atlanta Braves uniform they become a shell of their former selves.

“They have not been eliminated. There is still one more game tomorrow.”
And it’s a game that they have absolutely NO chance of winning. Wake up and smell the coffee. This team is horrible. There’s a greater chance that the Astros will sweep the Cards than there is the Braves winning another game this season – and that includes the playoffs if they do back in.

It’s a shame all those folks at Turner Field paid their hard earned money to see a team that no longer cares or puts forth any effort. Alex G. doesn’t feel the games is worthy of him playing and would never play for me again if I was Wren. Hopefully the Cardinals win tonight and tomorrow. We know the Chokers will lose tomorrow. If they don’t care, why should we?
This is from a fan that has lived and died with the Braves since they came here in 66. However, this team will forever be remembered as the Chokers.

I just gets worse and worse for the Braves. They are down 6-0 to the Phillies. This will come down to the last game of the season it looks like. The way things are looking the Braves will probably lose the Wild Card on the last day of the season or in a Wild Card playoff with St. Louis in St. Louis. They picked a bad time to play horrible. The Braves are 8-16 in September. They gave away 3 games. It might be better if they don’t make the playoffs because they play the Brewers and they will sweep them in 3 games all on blowouts.
