No way Braves can manage to win the one-game playoff after they got swept by cards..,
Lets win tonight somehow and hope for a miracle that Manuel doesn’t start any regular guys tomorrow

If D-Lowe keeps us in the game and we win, I promise I will somehow incorporate his name into my name for in-game tomorrow.
Sorry, ‘teen ‘teen – gotta take one for the team.

Can’t quit now,” said Jones, who aggravated his knee running the bases in the sixth inning on Monday night but still went 2-for-4 with a home run and a double. “…I’ve been preaching all along, ‘People are tired. People are hurt. So what? Let’s go. Strap it up.’”
Jones said if it were April, he wouldn’t be playing. As it is, there’s not much he can do other than ice it and try to take it a little easier in batting practice.
Jones said he wanted to have the MRI to find out if there was anything more they could do to treat it. The tests showed his knee is still structurally sound, but without the cartilage removed in his arthroscopic surgery, he said he’s going “bone-on-bone.”
Go get em Old Man !!!!!!!!!

You know we loved Prado when he was playing at an allstar level and now everyone is taking shots at him because he’s struggling.

Anybody else plan on catching the documentary on the Steve Bartman debacle on ESPN? My previous channel button will be getting a work out tonight.
Biggest joke I’ve ever seen blaming that poor kid. Like nobody talks about the Stanley wild pitch before Buckner’s error, the other Alex Gonzalez makes a crucial error that would have been a double play and that kid’s life would have been normal. Such a joke fans getting all over that guy.

I think Lowe really steps it up a notch. If he can at least match what he did last time out against Florida we should be fine. What a brutal September. But these are the Braves! I am 46 and been a fan since I was eight. I remember drinking beer with my buddies in the woods in Albany, Ny going on about how great Tommy Boggs, Larry McWilliams and Steve Bedrosian were going to be. Bedrock was, just not for us. Anyway good luck to everyone. Heyward comes up big. Go Braves!

This has the making of Bears vs Packers last year……Bears had a chance to win at home again the Pack, but didn’t….the Pack came back and beat the Bears in the NFC Championship.
Where am I going with this?
Philly will falter, Braves get in………we take advantage of it and see Philly once more with everything on the line!
Dramatic much? Yes.

N8, you feel better now?
If you’re trying to get me to defend D-Lowe, it ain’t happening. He’s been awful.
But folks who act as though Teheran has been some sort of rookie sensation, on the part with Beachy at his best or Delgado at his best, need to slow down a bit, in my opinion. Kid’s not quite ready for this yet. Braves have been fortunate to have three rookies — Beachy, Minor, Delgado — perform well in some huge starts. No team has that many kids pitching for them in a stretch drive. Four rookies in a row in the biggest games of the season? C’mon. The Braves were not going to drop Lowe from the rotation and replace him with Julio Teheran in the biggest game of the season. Sorry, just wasn’t going to happen.

Well, I had a closed door meeting with the team before the game, and we all saw how that turned out. Tonight I’m staying home and rooting from my armchair, hoping that will change our luck.
Luck and some timely hitting……….and good work from Lowe for about 6 or 7 innings…..is absolutely required.

If the grounders find holes, Lowe will lose. If not, it’ll probably be a really good game for him. And there’s a lot to that he can’t really control.
