Come on offense, it’s your fault Maholm gave up those runs, so you must score two now to make up for it!

The offense on the other hand, f*ing blows.
Meanwhile, the A’s, O’s and Nats have gone from turned the corner from doormat to World Series contenders in the blink of an eye.

“Come on offense, it’s your fault Maholm gave up those runs, so you must score two now to make up for it!”
Multiple chances for the offense to open this game up where two runs given up by Maholm wouldn’t have mattered. Sucks I know

Braves back to their no hitting. How in the he!! can this team be where they are with such weak hitting?

And now a Pirate Punch-&-Judy hitter hits a BOMB off Maholm to take the lead.
This has to be the most vexing, irritating 93 win team in baseball history. The Bronx Zoo Yankees of ‘77 were soothing by comparison.

If the #Braves offense can score 3 runs a game they can be dangerous in postseason. Honestly though I’m not sure this offense can do that.

How in the #$!! did this team win more than 70 games? If a pitcher throws strikes we have zero chance in scoring runs. Our only hope is that every other pitcher (starting with Lohse) can’t find the strike zone and walks in runs.

Hi Braves fans. Know me? I play for the Cardinals and I throw from the left side. The Cardinals aren’t idiots and are going to start me against the Braves because the Brave look pathetic against left handers. The Cards know that and aren’t fools so all they have to do is throw a mediocre lefty against the Braves and have success. Yes face it. The Braves still have problems scoring runs and they have MORE trouble scoring against lefties.
See you Friday! Saturday, you guys can start making Tee times!

If there were a positional player / non-pitcher Expansion Draft today, the only players I would place on an untouchables list are Heyward, Freeman, Prado, & Simmons (Chipper’s retired).
They can have the rest of the wretched refuse.
Hinske, Francisco, Overbay, & Reed – 0 for 44 in their last collective 44 at-bats!!!
Frank Wren, you are the REAL idiot!
