Levon lets loose more balloons but keeps them down.
He calls his job sheatty.
Cause he likes the pay-hay.
And his wife can shop the finest stores in town.
Levon, levon likes his money
He makes a lot they say
He spends his days counting
In a bullpen in Atlanta, GA.

Good anagoly. I have to give you that. The Braves are sinking and sinking fast. Thank god for the train wreck in Flordia or they might be looking at the cellar. I will be watching the Marlins just see the blowup you know is coming.

I love how Chip says that this will be Livan’s last inning because his spot comes up second. No doubt that will happen, but Livan is probably the best option to hit.

Murphy is NOT a hitting machine. He is a scrub. Did the Braves tell Chip and Joe to build up the other team, so the Braves will not look so bad losing to a scrub team?
