Bourn had a 3-1 count and wiffed on two fastballs down the middle of the plate! Inning over and perhaps now all hope barring a very unlikely chance MLB officials agree with Fredi’s protest.

Just saw a replay of that throw Uggla made to first….just horrible Dan. And Joe Wimpson can seat on it–unsupportive commentary………Bourn, not hot to trot…but he’ll go trotting out soon.

We played poorly today. But when the other team plays poorly and is not penalized for it, then it’s a crying shame.
How long does MLB have to determine if the Braves have a legitimate protest??

Another Bourn strike out. .225 in the second half. CHOKER. He fits right in. So many chances to score…So many chokers with A’s on their caps. Not a clutch hitter on the team. Not one. Zero. Chokers all. Sad. Pathetic. Embarrassing.

I watched this pathetic team every night for 20 years to watch only one Championship and this pathetic crap every time they get into the post season. Well, I’m retiring with Chipper. Until this sorry organization gets new ownership that will spend money for real hitters I will not be back ever. Other things to do with my life during the Summer.

Now Chipper is gonna say “We was robbed.” Then he’ll renegotiate his contract for 25 mil a season. Meanwhile, Bourne will thake his shame money and sign with the Cardinals.

Bourn, Larry Jones, and UGGLY, the 3 stooges cost the braves the game. Uggly should not be playing, and larry jones should trade his wheelchair in for a hooters VIP card. And for Bourn thank God this is his last game in a braves uniform. As for the game being under protest, for braves fans the whole season should have been played under protest for the braves allowing Fredi to be the manager. After all, if this idiot wasn’t the manager, UGGLY wouldn’t be in starting lineup. Thank GOD the nightmare is finally over for this pitiful losing franchise.
