It is so hilarious that 10 games can shorten the length of a contract 4 years, cut the value of it $50 million and get a guy released instead of having his arb years bought out.
Or so some bloggers think, if you call what they do thinking. A new set of morons every week.

top two guys in the brewers order are getting on base and knocking in runs, the braves top 2 are not … that’s why the brewers are now in a good spot to finish the sweep

“Don’t let the fielding percentage fool you. This team is FAR from the best defensive team in the league.”
That’s about like saying we have the 4th best offense because we’ve scored the 4th most runs….not even close to the 4th best offense….

Can’t they replace Chipper at 3rd with Prado? His defense has become a liability and this game is too tight right now. He has only been hitting singles of late. We need a strategist as manager not a fearful manager

Chipper's Farewell Defense Tour
September 12th, 2012
9:42 pm
Chipper not being capable of playing decent defense is evident virtually every game now. Seems like he’s making at least one play a night where he boots the ball. Some are called errors. Some are generously not scored errors. I suppose that is in defference to the future hall of famer.
Chipper should speak to reporters tonight and tell them how HE contributed to this loss instead of insinuating someone else isn’t producing. He’ll probably blame it on Janish like he did when he dropped a pop up a couple of weeks ago.

Thought the Braves were past the September swoon thing. Obviously not.
I mean, we’re playing Milwaukee for Christ’s sake–a sub-.500 team entering this series. They didn’t even bother to wait til the 7th inning to blow us out tonight. What a crock.
ATL’s pro teams are simply incapable of taking that “next step” toward a championship. After nearly a half-century of this incompetence (excepting ‘95 Braves), you truly have to wonder if it will ever happen.

Fredi Gonzalez must go. It’s that simple. Trade Maholm and his worthless ass.
Actually at this point, I’d like to have Denny Neagle back. Gave up Vizcaino for this, huh?
I’m telling you. If the Braves choke this off, Fredi’s job is not safe. In fact, it wouldn’t surprise me if Wren’s job is not safe.
Lovely defense by the HOF 3B. Wonder who he’ll call out tonight? Well done Chipper.

All those people that were so excited about the Paul Maholm signing are now wondering what happened.
We traded for an over 30, soft tossing pitcher with a career ERA well north of 4.00…and I ask you, what exactly were you expecting? Surely you weren’t thinking that the hot streak he was on was anything other than just that…a hot streak. Welcome to reality and the real Paul Maholm.

He’s signed to a great contract for the Brewers.

He had herpes. After this year’s MVP, the ‘roid jokes should be even less funny. He’s just a LF the Braves could only dream about.
