Disgusted-

No worries. Yeah, It’s just the name stealers and the disgusting insulters that get reported. General Stupid typically gets ignored :)

Also, since so many people have reported him, I can’t imagine you can say with certainty that it was VJ that got him banned.

I think it’s funny when anyone insults VJ or makes an insulting comment to women – cabravesfan gets all spun up. Me thinks the lady doth get much too spun up :)

VJ got banned? I mean, talking about William & Mary football shouldn’t get you banned. Maybe, suspended, but not banned.

Bourn worked a good plate appearance, now it is time for Prado to keep the line moving.

I don’t concern myself too much with what people say to VJ- he can handle himself- but of course I will defend him. As for some of the insulting comments regarding women, again, why should I ignore comments like that?

Dang, at least Simmons got moved over. Let’s go JHey! Even if it’s against Mike Gonzales…

Hanson labored through 5 innings today….meaning that the bullpen will be taxed for at least 4 innings today (assuming we dont go into extra innings). I dont see how giving up 4 runs in 5 innings is anywhere close to being “good” today.

We’re talking about Tommy Hanson here.

2 ER in 5 IP, with only 1 BB is actually good, for him at least.

too many lefties who can’t hit lefties come up too often in critical situations.

Tomahawk Mafia

Heyward was fooled pretty bad 3-1. That was the key pitch in the at bat. If he has a patient mindset in that situation and recognizes the breaking ball, the Braves have the bases loaded. More frustration with runners in scoring position, especially after the leadoff man reached.

With Rossy on deck, I would have given JHey the green light. That 3-0 fastball was a MEATBALL, which he takes and then swings at the shyt pitch in the dirt… lol

VJ is not out to harm anyone. What I am witnessing herein seems to be some playful jabs supporting the ousted parties who, in all honesty, need to approach the proper protocol for reinstatement. The fact that you all appear to possess a vendetta suggests your disposed friend(s) are not ready to contribute favorably to future blog activity.

You think the Nationals don’t get one run in that situation?

Not to recuse our bullpen but an 89 win team in the middle of September doesn’t come away empty handed with that opportunity.

You could either take a slim lead or put the game away.

The Braves got nothing.

Inexcusable.

O’Flaherty worked a fine 8th inning. Time to score the go ahead run.
