I still fear a collapse after what happened last yr.
I will never really forgive them for that.

Excellent AB my tail — the result is nothng and Bourn could have stolen a base had he not fouled that pitch back.
He deserves to be Booed after that AB. Its the Results that count –
Winners get the glory — losers get the boot. Reed has done a good job but that AB produced zilch.

The good thing is that the Braves made Gonzalez work to finish the inning, although I was disappointed in the outcome of Heyward’s at bat.

As for fotball the Patriots suck — they are on their way to a 4 or 5 W season.
Very BUMB today and I am dropping Gostowski from ny fantasy team.
Pats are one of the big choke teams in the league and the Brady/Belicheck reign of being a first rate coach/QB duo has to be in question after that POS today.
I hope those fans Booed cause they deseved it.

I hope that Frank Gore and Randy Moss do not get many fantasy points tonite.
I wish the Lions well — those fans have suffered enough.
No love for Stafford cause of his failings at UGA, but as a pro QB he is a better QB. He was a BUST at Georgia considering the hype around him, but he is a fit for the pro game.

jefferyd — Now, that was funny, even if the joke is on me. I can take it. And yes, I am being a d**ck tonight. I am not happy about the Pats- Arizona game so I am being a real d**k.
Maybe the Braves should go after a player by the name of D*ck Sterr. Than they would have a real d**kster in the middle of their lineup.

Maybe so FFG but he has been successful to date.
The rules are what they are — I am not crazy about it either, you cannot play defense anymore.
Stafford is the best thing to happen to Det Lions football since Barry Sanders. And before Barry, well, have to go back to the 50’s.

RBI > OBP.
After watching this Braves offense and their runners LOB game in and game out, if you do not believe the above than there is nothing that can help you understand the game of baseball.
I do not care what Bill James or any of the saberheads say—
I will take a run batted in over a runner left in scoring postion anyday.
OBP means nothing to this Braves team — we get man on but do not score.
