Even if we beat the Pirates/D’backs, I don’t like playing Cincy in the first round. We don’t play well in that park.
IIRC, we would actually open up the series at home, then play games 3 through 5 in Cincy, due to the need to compress the travel schedule this year (and this year only).
I could really see a nightmarish final 3 games of that series, akin to what we experienced during our 4 game set in Cincy back in the spring.
Let’s win the division.
Go Braves!

3rd in OBP and a great baserunning team – that certainly helps.
now you know better than that, Uggla hits righties much better than lefties, almost like having another damn LHed hitter in the lineup
Yeah, 8th in OPS vs. LHP and I thought it’d be worse. .251/.324/.393.

FYI…….trading Hanson has to be one of the options on the burner after the 2012 season ends, and I don’t say this lightly because most everybody knows I hate trading pitching. Especially starting pitching.
But the kid’s revamped mechanics have not improved his pitching, at all. If anything Tommy has regressed. His velocity is down (which shouldn’t be the main concern) but what bothers me is Hanson’s inability to locate his fastball consistently. Tomm’y walks are up, strike outs are down, he has just nine quality starts in twenty-two trips to the bump, and can’t get to or past the sixth inning nearly enough.
So I’m thinking this kid who is in his fourth full season as a starter is starting to fade already at the age of twenty-five. Something is amiss, to say the least.

I don’t think Chipper every married the Hooter.
He did, of course, have a child with her, and he filed for divorce from his first wife, as I recall, because his wife did not want him to have a relationship with the child.
Again, I don’t think he married the waitress.

JNick ofcourse Hooters girl arent decent. Are strippers decent? Not someone whom you would want to bring home and introduce to your family and parents. All this happend to Chipper at the wrong time
He will no longer have a wife or a baseball career. Half of his earnings probably gone through divorce. He is older now where by he wont be able to get a 22 26 yr old woman. At best he will be stuck with another middle age divocee. Sad turn of events for Chipper

Just gotta keep taking care of business. Won both those series on the road which is huge (wish we could have swept last night, so close!), so just take three of four here, hope the Giants help out against Nats (which they definitely can), and then really bare down against the Dodgers, Nats, and Giants. I think we can take a series from the Dodgers, Nats will be super close (but I think they ultimately take us in this one, but we beat em at home), and I think we split against the Giants in a four game set.
If that’s the case, then if everything works out how I think it will, We’ll be 74-54 before we take on the Padres, Phils and Rockies going into September. As long as the Braves take care of business as they’ve been doing this entire second half, we should get the wild card, and we still have a shot at the division as well.
Go Braves!

He offered to accompany Clemente on the trip to island nation, but the plane was full and Clemente told him to stay behind and enjoy his New Year’s Eve. A few hours later, Tom returned to his condo and saw the news reports that Clemente’s plane had crashed off the coast of Isla Verde, Puerto Rico and he would have died in crash if it wasn’t for Clemente’s decision.Enter your comments here
