I’m ready for the Uggla experiment to be over and done with. For the money we’ve been paying the guy, we have NOT been getting what is expected. Yet again, an example of a terrible sign by the Braves front office.
On a brighter note, the game fortunately isn’t over . . . . yet. Need to get a few here in the bottom of the 8th and not save it all for the 9th . . .

I asked you guys why you would want this team in the playoffs back in August. I ask again… why did you want the Braves in the playoffs? Sure we all want to win in the postseason but if you watched the same team I did all year, you kinda knew this would be the team to show up tonight.

What a sad way for CHIPPER to leave us. Hate to say it but his head was not in game. I am refering to his “I am not nervous” remark. He just wanted game to be over,

Not the way I wanted to see #10 end his career here. I’m sure it’s not the way he wanted it either. As far as having a curse goes, we don’t need one; we have Uggla and Fredi.

I said yesterday that I was afraid the “managerial wizard” would pull one of his boneheaded out of the box moves like he did earlier in the year, and he proved me prophetic. At least he got in his contribution to the loss. Would not be a “good loss” without his stamp on it!!!!!!! There’s only one other person FG reminds me of and he is in Washington(no he doesn’t play for or manage the Gnats).

Why is it that I see what’s happening all game and yet somewhere deep inside I have visions of Chipper getting a hit to win the game?

Every team in the NL except the Pirates and Padres has advanced to an NLCS since Atlanta did in 2001 against Arizona.
I really hate Uggla as a player. He hustles but doesn’t play smart ball.

This team is just mentally incapable of handling the spotlight. The organization just needs an entire face lift. Been like this in the 90’s and it still remains in 2012. Gotta show Bobby and his boys the door.
