I know this a big IF but if Uggla could get hot what a lift it would be. For the reamaining regular season games and the playoffs.
Hahahahaha, that’s funny!

What’s up Braves fans? I just saw Chipper do his New Yawker impression on SNY and it was classic! “Yo Chippa. Stop Beatin up on my Mets. Good luck against da Yanks tho.”
He really nailed it. Very funny stuff.

I’m guessing you’ll be able to “upgrade your seat” without much trouble. Not expecting huge crowds with the Mets well out of it and the NFL taking hold in these parts this week.

Typo – “to honor Chipper on Sept. 19, the last game of his last series there.” Should be Sunday, Sept 9, 2012.

Probably only about 5,000 in seats, Chipper got mix of boos and cheers as they said congratulations over stadium PA, played “Crazy Train,” showed video of him getting the painting. He tipped his cap to the crowd as “Congratulations Chipper” message was shown on the video board.
Bat Masterson

Probably safe to do so. On the other hand they are due for one of those offensive explosions, so I’m firmly in the maybe camp.

No, what I meant was there won’t be anyone there. You can basically pick your seat escept for the real high end field box seats.

Four or five games ago Fredi Gonzalez announced that the Braves wouldn’t be using Uggla at second for the rest of the year. Tonight is the third game in a row that he’s playing there. What’s up with that? Just another Frediism I guess.

Very cool haha.

I think Chipper would’ve liked to have played in NY for a little while had things worked out that way. He’s always just kind of flirted with the NY crowd. Late r in his career for sure.Just my opinion.

bravesgrl4life @ 7:30 pm about which of my posts? The room one? No for real, they were being serious. That’s what they said his room was like. They said his son understands the significance of his name. I mean if they were joking they didn’t crack a laugh or sound sarcastic at all.

“They just said on SNY that Chipper’s son Shea’s room is done completely in Orange and Blue and has the Shea seats the Mets gave him bolted to his floor. ”
Sounds like you’re right, Anders. Considering he has the opponents colors in his son’s room, rather than Braves.
Capt.Mudd

@Anders…..If Chipper has a chance to leave earlier, you know–if things got mucked up in Atl…….He would have gone to play for NY in a heartbeat IMO.

If you mean nefarious againts the Mets. There’s no one on this club that fills the bill at this point. Mostly because our rivalry has cooled with the Mets falling off since 2008.
