You know, Les would probably pronounce Matt Diaz’s name right on the first try.

Chi-Chi Rodriguez.
Exactly.
Mr. Rodriguez.
“I swear to God, I thought they could fly!”
So who thinks James can set the major league record for homeruns given up in one game tonight?
I think he certainly can. I pray that he won’t.
Actually, what’s the record? If it’s some insane number, Bobby probably wouldn’t leave Chuck in there long enough to set it.
In keeping with our other thread today, has anyone asked Francoeur if he’d like to try pitching? We sure need another starter. Chuck Amok isn’t inspiring me.
1914 Update:
NY Giants 54-37 (–)
Chicago Cubs 52-44 (4.5)
St. Louis Cardinals 51-47 (6.5)
Boston Braves 47-45 (7.5)
Cincinnati Reds 46-50 (10.5)
Philadelphia Phillies 44-49 (11)
Brooklyn Robins 40-50 (13.5)
Pittsburgh Pirates 40-52 (14.5)
Today’s game:
Pirates 000 000 000 – 0 2 0 LP- Harmon
Boston 010 000 00x – 1 8 1 WP- Rudolph
Time of today’s game: One hour and 28 minutes. Inning we’ll be in at that point tonight: Bottom of the 4th.
I want to see some homer runs!
Andruw hits 3, Frenchy 1, and the rest hit 3.
7 home runs Braves win 12-10.
Baez and Wickman the hold and save.
Bizzaro Richmond: Lance Cormier threw a complete game shutout for Richmond last night. The night before Jonathan Schuerholz was 2 for 4 with a homer and a double. Richmond actually won both games.
4Seam, I like your plan
According to this, the record is seven, set in 1886. The AL record, which I guess is the modern record, has been set several times at 6, most recently by RA Dickey this year.
I just heard a commercial on WALA Fox-10 for redneck furniture….
“According to this, the record is seven, set in 1886. The AL record, which I guess is the modern record, has been set several times at 6, most recently by RA Dickey this year.”
I thought Josh Beckett or [Name Redacted] had the record, oh well…
What has happened to Beckett?
Lance Cormier has potential to be servicable muchmore than I sacn say for some.
Those turkeys dind’t have a chance….OH THE POULTRY!!!!
lineup has no laroche:
aybar
giles
renty
druw
mccann
jeff
thorman
langerhans
no homeruns for the reds tonight chucky.
does anyone else think the braves pitchers just look too nice? maybe the secret is all in the mean, frownie face. i never liked facing pitchers who looked pissed off, because it always kept me thinking “i am about to get nailed.” roger needs to have an “Angry Clinic” next year.
“Actually, what’s the record? If it’s some insane number, Bobby probably wouldn’t leave Chuck in there long enough to set it.”
Tony Larussa would, ain’t that right Jason Marquis?
Anyone have any leads on what’s happening with the whole Andruw claimed on waivers story? Just wondering if the team is getting their annual ‘ditch my favorite’ player campaign off to an early start this year
Mac,
I loved the “WKRP” references from ububba and yourself. Maybe they can find some way to tape on the batters boxes and have the batters open the door before they get in.
Every one gets put on waivers, some get claimed nothign ever happens.
Its crap.
Yeah, it’s quite possible nothing will happen, but it’s also possible something will. We’ll know this weekend.
People are speculating that it’s Houston. There was talk Boston was going to get Andruw and flip him to Houston for Oswalt. There’s no way Oswalt could be in the deal now (he’d have to pass through waivers), but the Astros do have some good young pitching prospects like Jason Hirsh, who I don’t think is on the 40-man yet. Too bad Matt Albers was called up, he would have been a good one to target also.
I would trade Andruw for 10 1st-2nd round Draft picks, 2 pitching propects, 1 reliver, and a good defensive CF plus 5 million in cash.
Since that ain’t ever gonna happen, no trade…..
Every one gets put on waivers, some get claimed nothign ever happens.
Yeah I know, but the 10/5 rights kicking in makes this at least mildly interesting. Boston is fading right now and may very well make another run at Andruw.
What Boston needs is SP, not another bat.
What has happened to Beckett I ask?
What has happened to Beckett I ask?
Not much. Better league, less pitcher friendly home park. He’ll have to adjust. His rate stats are ok, he just can’t keep the ball in the park.
Is that Ron Gant?
You can’t trade draft picks
If they did put Oswalt on waivers for the Andruw trade, I think we would get the first shot at him
If that’s Ron Gant…I’m happy to be following on Yahoo’s GameChannel..
Yeah it is gant. At least he isn’t monitone like Torborg
Smitty, I believe Oswalt is a FA after this season…correct me if I am wrong…
HoRam has a Texas Pete comercial! OH my God! I hope it gets on You Tube
Utley just struck out. 0 for 1.
I THINK Oswalt is a free agent after the 2007 season.
Im not sure about Oswalt
Langerhans is 50000000002454235 times the outfielder Diaz is
“HoRam has a Texas Pete comercial! OH my God! I hope it gets on You Tube”
Thank you. I’ve mentioned it here one or two times and no one said anything. I thought I was the only one who was seeing it.
That commercial is the worst involving a Braves’ player I’ve ever seen. How can Ramirez stand there with a straight face next to that dancing bottle of hot sauce?
Two pitches, two hard hit outs, two great plays
Wow, James is really making the defense works tonight!!!
OK, I am way more interested than I probably should be, since 4Seam’s right that it’s probably not going to happen. Still, I took a look at Houston’s 40-man roster, and Hirsh is unfortunately on it. Here’s the link:
http://houston.astros.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/team/roster_40man.jsp?c_id=hou
I compared that list against John Sickels’s preseason Top 10 for the Astros, and here are the guys that are not on the 40-man:
#2, Troy Patton, LHP.
#3, Hunter Pence, OF.
#6, Brian Bogusevic, LHP
#7, Eli Iorg, OF
Patton and Pence are both good, but young. Personally, I’d like someone a little closer to the bigs. After seeing this, if the Stros are the team that claimed Andruw, I have even more doubt anything will happen.
Chucky james is back! JR. down on 3 straight.
http://www.sportsline.com/mlb/story/9584322/1
In an article on CBS Sportsline today.. “They have my rights for this year and next year, then I can go into free-agency,” Oswalt says.
So he’s a FA after the ’07 season
Dan,
I love how they show HoRam striking out some guy and then some girl comming up and asking for his autograph. I guess Smoltz was busy preaching or something.
Yeah, you guys are right, Oswalt is a FA after 2007. My bad.
That commercial is so bad.
Texas Pete Bottle dancing, I wonder who thought that was a good idea.
The way Rathburn talks about Francoeur and McCann being such “great buddies” you would think they were boyfriends
ANOTHER WEAK POP-UP IN FOUL GROUND FOR FRANCOEUR?
How can he keep doing that?
Another weak pop-up…awesome Frenchy…
Francoeur pop up…everybody drink!
I’d love to take a shot at locking up Oswalt for an extension, but I don’t think he could get through waivers. Maybe in the offseason, though.
Smoltz was doing the Home Depot commercial.
I kind of like his preaching, makes want to go outside and throw a slider.
Gant talking about strikingout.
Nice break Thor.
I told ya’ll LaRoche was important, they are highlighting his injury.
Gant talking about being hydrated.
Great Robert
Gant stuttering.
Would have been a strike if he would have caught it
Chuck James is due for a hit. He hasn’t had one in the majors (has he?)
Yes Robert.. great idea. I’m gonna come up with my own Atlanta Braves drinking game now…
good times..
Gant talking about Guardado.
4Seam, I can’t tell if you’re being public-spirited or simply masochistic by listening to Gant. But thanks anyway.
Chuck saw more pitches than Francoeur, a trend I expect to see continue.
If they could combine Francouer’s raw talent with Langerhans’ plate approach they would really have something.
When Gant talks babies crawl back up into thier mother’s wombs.
Great Davey. If there isn’t something about the 2-out RBI graphic in there I’ll be dissappointed.
Well, Langy is four years older than Frenchy…so Robert, that may happen four years later…
Here are some drink ideas:
-Every time Chipper hurts his foot
-Every time Bobby gets tossed
-Every time Pratt misses a ball
-Every time TBS shows the Francoeur 2 out RBI sats
Stevie Wonder sees more pitches than Francoeur….
* insert cheap laugh track laughter *
Wow Robert we were thinking a like
Lucky for James that Aurilla happens to be Aurilla.
Haha Smitty…I had 3 of those 4 already. We think alike sir…
I’ll drop it on you when I’m done. I’m going to put alot of thought into this..
Some people were apparently reporting that Oswalt was a free agent, but he came up in May of his rookie year. The Astros were maximizing how much they could get out of him.
I will reiterate the Hudson comp.
Note that Oswalt is now 28. Note that Hudson was 29 last year.
Yeah I am glad Aurilla didn’t change his name to Beltran
Take a drink everytime Andruw’s right knee touches the ground.
Take a drink everytime Andruw’s follow through on his swing hits the catcher.
Why Gant? Where is Greg Olson?
Take a drink every time:
McCann gets a single off the wall
Andruw swings at a 55-foot pitch
Pete Orr sees the field
A reliever who could eat half the regulars is on the mound
Where is Lonnie Smith?
I don’t know.
Or why not someone who went to school and got a degree in communications (eh hem…)
Oh, and chug any time Francoeur gets to three balls until he eventually strikes out.
He was out!
Lonnie Smith is still at second base in the Metro Dome
Can someone tell me how Encarnacion got on base? Gameday is calling it catcher interference on McCann.
He hit McCann’s glove when swinging
The Reds have almost as many home grown players as the Braves. I have seen most of these guys at AA games here in Chattanooga
Ah…great suggestions…I shall include them !
Take a drink everytime Giles dives and comes up empty.
Take a drink everytime you see Diaz arch his back.
Take a drink everytime you see Pete Orr swing at a pitch right down the middle of the plate and foul it off his foot because of his excessively downward swing.
There is another Dan (#78)?
There are 2 Dans! Torborg showing Chipper in the dugout.
Mac,
I was all set to respectfully disagree about the Hudson/Oswalt comparison. But you know what? I took a look at the numbers, and it’s pretty scary how similar they are. For me, Hudson’s problem has been the declining K ratios which I remember being worried about when we acquired him from the A’s. And, sure enough, Oswalt’s done the same thing the last few years. Check out his K/9s:
2001: 9.15 Ks/9
2002: 8.03
2003: 7.63
2004: 7.82
2005: 6.85
And so far this year, 6.14. Yikes!
You mean Rathburn.
I love Willy Aybar
Aybar got a hit.
A hit of Clayton’s ass!
Rathurn, Torborg, what is the difference again?
Bobby usually would have Giles bunt here
Hey,
Aybar used all of Francouer’s pitches for the weekend, in one at bat.
Les Nessman reference from Pete Van Wieren on the radio side.
Aybar takes out the 2b.
Rathbun’s the dumb guy who laughs at stupid things. Torborg’s the dumb guy who tells stories about Walter Alston, Don Drysdale, and all the times we kicked his ass when he managed the Mets and Marlins.
There are two other Dans? (#78, #83)
No just kidding, it’s me again. Look how much fun that could be though.
Rathburn kissing Clayton’s sore butt.
What was that?
AJ did everything he could do to disrupt?
I WANNA SEE HIM HIT THE DANG THING.
BS
When will the Braves learn? They don’t have Furcal anymore, stop with the steal crap. I’m sick of it.
Apparenlty Dan is taking this drinking game thing seriously…..
Dan, we’ve got at least 6 innings to go. Pace yourself.
Dan Wins!!!!! Shall we start a new game?
Gant was praising Edwin Encarnacion for his great hands. Too bad Encarnacion makes Chipper look like Brooks Robinson.
15 errors this season
“No just kidding, it’s me again. Look how much fun that could be though.”
You know that Mac can probably see IP addresses, right?
Giles sucks, AJ on the WT. AJ bunting is a joke.
James is pitching a no-hitter, Maddux did the same….
Could be????
Fives are going wild (McCann’s fifth error, Marcus’ fifth caught stealing)…My prediction: Thorman hits number five and Chucky wins number five!!!!!
Good job 4Seam, now it is time for Harangto go yard
Dan is the champion! Dan you have won an inflatable Bud Light cooler. So you can also drink in the tub.
Workin on a big list here fellas… not even Eddie Sutton will get this drunk
Smitty, James is mowing them down.
Kent Mercker did it. SO can Chuck James.
We gotta no-hitter through 3. James can do it.
Taking on bets on the upcoming Francoeur at-bat.
I say he’ll foul out to the catcher, on the second pitch…
I can definitely see IP addresses. Does someone want to change their user name to Dan 2? Dano? Dan Tanna?
Torborg to Dan on winning a inflatable cooler:
“You know when I was managing the Marlins, Brad Penny was once in the whirlpool taking a soak with an inflatable MIller Light cooler. He asked if I wanted to tell him a story about catching Don Drydale. I did, so as I began talking the GM came in and told me I was fired. It was all a set up by Penny and the GM to get me to stay in one place so they could fire me. IT is good though because I like Rathburn”
I bet 1,000,000,000 dollars he swings at the first pitch.
I’ll take weak ground out to short on the second pitch.
AJ IS GONNA HIT A HR!
Ill take Frenchy popping up to first
OR WALK!
Edwin Encarnacion, he he he
Utley flew out. He’s 0 for 2.
GREAT PLAY ENCARNACION!
GREAT HANDS, BAD THROW.
GANT COMISERATING. EWWW!
I’ll take it.
That was lucky.
FOX better hurry and cut back to Frnchy, thy might miss the at bat
Encarnacion must drive Reds fans crazy.
McCann!
Edwin Encarnacion’s hands must be too soft!
MCCANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My prediction was a little early.
MCCAN WITH THE HOMER!
McCann!!!
Yippee!
Mac!
That’s it for me boys. Keep hope alive. Go the-half-of-the-league-not-between-us-and-the-DBacks!
I’m 1,000,000,000 in the hole!!! BS!!!
Gant’s has to commiserate…remember, he started off as an inept second baseman too.
Sweet!
I hope the team has a cerfuw, I would hate to see Chad Johnson kill Brian McCann
Pop to first, I win!
Infield pop-up.
McCann Can!
Frenchy can pop up again.
Smitty!!!
That would be a warning track flyout at Turner Field…
…weak pop up to first base again!!!
Tell Smitty what’s he’s won…
Do I get an inflatable cooler too for winning?
Yes, but Gant found a position where he was ept.
oh and, Francouer pop up…everybody drink!
I think Smitty ought to get 4 seam’s billion…
Too many teams in front. LIE!
When win 4 in a row and we number one if the rest lose 3.
Maybe I can get a Edwin Encarnacion autograph
When did ept become a word? I like it though and use it often…
Well guys, I am going to leave this 2-0 lead in your hands. I am going to see Ricky Bobby. Full report when I return
The ame time as combobulated and gruntled.
Ricky Bobby is great.
Looked pretty bad to me, and I say that as someone with absolutely no use for NASCAR.
Wow, Frenchy’s seen more pitches so far than Chuck (6 to 5).
Well now Brian,
I’ll have to add those to my dictionary of eptitude.
Smitty you win a Bud Light inflatable bar complete with a week’s supply of Bud light, courtesy of Bud Light!
stools come seperately.
It’s like Anchorman with NASCAR
Edwin with another Warning Track pop-up.
They’re perfectly cromulent words. Glad I could embiggen your vocabulary.
Yes sir… the Atlanta Braves drinking game
Feel free to add more suggestions..
Brian J. for your excellent vocabulary you have won an inflatable dictionary and thesarus from Funk and Wagnalls!!!
James has a no hitter through 4.
Classic Davey! But I think you mean Carey’s eyebrow (in the singular)…
Here’s bald facts.
Routine Jeff Francoeur : frequently Stike Out, sometimes Home Run, hardly Hustle Play, and lately Pops out. That’s all.
4 Seam,
Are both the dictionary and thesaraus inflatable?
AJ kneels down on his right knee, and dives, he also slides on his right leg sometimes.
If you wanna up the ante on the drinks includes those on his knee touching.
my bad Jeff…i’ll edit that quick
Jeff M. both are inflatable, That is the way Bud Light rolls.
Aybar got a steal.
Gant giles can hit the ball anywhere right or left down the line wherever and it would be good.
Aybar is that fast.
Gee, I wish I could find a set of those. They’d look good in my office.
AJ 3 RUN BLAST!!!!!
Well, he tried.
He’s done it before and he’ll do it again!
First and second and no one was out, come on the Braves need at least one run here.
Go McCann.
mc cann can do it
Not this time.
That was terrible.
..ugh
New game.
Will James give up a hit in the next inning.
All who win with the correct answer will win the best prize yet….
The Bud-Light Inflatable Toilet!
When you are too lazy and crude to get your lazy butt out of the pool and go inside.
Yes, he will.
no he won’t
Brian J. you might be wrong. Aybar.
Shhhhh….
Aw, I don’t get the inflatable toilet. I’m crushed. Really.
James is dealing!
Davey you win!!!! The Bud Light Inflatable Toilet is yours.
You must be proud.
Two pitches for Frenchy. Comebacker to the pitcher. Cox and Pendleton are seeing this too, right?
Jeff just showed why he sucks.
Gant says if Harangue has that one pitche taken away he’s perfect.
Shut up Gant.
Hey Andy Marte just got his second hit! Driving my wife crazy by watching the indians and braves at the same time.
Thank you 4 Seam..
It will do wonders for my hygene
Hey, it’s not like Gant works for the Braves or anything…
Davey…uhh…well…at least you have made a step at cleaning your pool.
talk about something else until the seventh inning
You’re sure he’s working for the Braves? I thought he just wandered up into the broadcast booth some day and they let him stay.
HORAM AND TEXAS PETE!!!!
Just a bit inside.
I wish I had a pool 4 Seam…. Closest I come to a pool is all the sweating I do from the insane temperatures down here.
NO HITTER I’M TELLING YOU!!!!
Maybe you need the bud light inflatable pool to go along with the inflatable toilet…
Where does Aybar go when Chipper’s back?
So you don’t have a pool…uhh…well…uhhh..OKAY!
4Seam, you idjit. You’re not supposed to talk about that.
Plate’s starting to jump around a bit for Chuck, though.
Whoever predicts Francoeur’s next at-bat and how many mpitches he sees will win THE BUD LIGHT INFLATABLE POOL!!!
Two pitches, popup to first.
Freel gets a steal.
This may sound bold, but I say 3 pitches and a single to center.
2-2, UGH
Argh.
Well damn.
Well $%@^&@!
How fitting. What other way would Chucky break up his own no hitter than by giving up another homerun this year.
James has an off-speed pitch??
holy inflatible turd
I’d take Chuck with a bad elbow over Huddy right now.
PUT IN RAY!!!!!!!
The look of confidence on Paronto’s face along with his heavy breathing gives me confidence…..IN RAY!!!!!
Damn..
I go to get some apple juice and the game is tied…wtf
He’s done, put a fork in him.
Wow, that runners on 1st and 2nd with no outs situation is looking very bad now.
Grybo’s for Paronto.
Place your bets.
Bud-Light inflatable beer bong
ERA under 3 because he gives up other people’s runs!!!
That’s game.
Paronto is KEVIN GRYBOSKI!!!!!
Yay
Boo!
Great…
Damn!
DOUBLE PLAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YeS!!!!
well, that was exciting.
AHAHAHA, I’d be so embarrassed right now.
This one is on Bobby. Good decision Bobby.
Big friggin deal – they scored 4.
Heads up play!!
And that’s what we call a shift in momentum.
I can’t believe Royce Clayton hit a homerun out of all people…
Royce Clayton must’ve forgot that he;s Royce Clayton
Never fear, Orr is here.
Orr. NO!!!!!
why pete orr
Anybody else see Brandon Phillips squeeze the cheeks of the 3rd base ump?
thats why
Orr….hit? The world turned upside down.
How did *ORR* do that?????
Orr delivers!!!
Right when I’m about to write off Pete Orr, he gets a hit.
Aybar needs to stop taking BP with Frenchy.
Damn is Orr fast.
Go Giles!
Marcus!!!
Well done, Marcus!
Braves on the comeback trail!!!!
And Orr flys around third to score…only down one now!
Orr can run!
If there is anything I like about Orr, I love watching him running on the basepath…
Hot Damn!
Orr runs like the italian sausage in Milwaukee.
Orr isn’t that bad, guys. He’s hitting something like .300 in PH situations this year. Not too shabby. (But let’s never start him. :-))
Come on
AndruwMcCann.They will pitch to McCann or Frenchy?!
They’d rather pitch to McCann? After the homer even?
Damn, I love Majeski, don’t take him out!!!
Orr runs like the italian sausage in Milwaukee.
Hahaha, Johnny.
It’s actually MaJEWski. No idea why it’s prononced like “majeski”.
Now we get to see if the reds read a scouting report
Bah.
como on hold em. need this win
I’m watching fsn ohio. The sound is on and off. Sucks. I want TBS!
I was having problems earlier, Johnny. MLBTV is a little sketchy at times.
Giles too short.
When Adam is back, I really wish Bobby will rest Frenchy for two or three days. I think the kid is just tired by playing everyday…
playing for one run in this ball park?
Thanks for giving us an out.
……………………………………………..
I’m tired of seeing him swing at BALLS…
Wheter we win the game
Bud light inflatable Juan Castro bobbleheads.
sausage race result
As of July 25, 2006
Italian Sausage 18
Hot Dog 14
Bratwurst 10
Polish Sausage 9
Chorizo –
i.e. Orr can run hahaha
BTW, The Braves missed a good chance..Alas!!!!!!!
Ball gets away.
Renteria with an error….
McCann!!!!!
Nice pick by Thorman
Very nice.
FRANCOEUR!!!!!!!! GONE!!!!!!!!
Wow…I guess he is not tired after all…
Homer or nothing!
Wait, who is the pitcher?
Frenchy, you’re almost forgiven.
I’ll take that really dumb pitch to Frenchy.
I keep the inflatable pool
Send him down.
Thormann off a lefty!!!!!!
Thor!!!
Is Jeff Francoeur still in the doghouse.
Good hit by the mighty Thor.
why do they throw him strikes
I wouldn’t call that “steaming” into second, but I’ll take it!
Replay shows that Frenchy’s dinger was right down the middle. I don’t get it. FSN announcer is perplexed too. Mentions the 10 walks and low OBP. Courmier must be French for moron.
Francouer is probably still in the doghouse. This Reds pitcher is probably in the doghouse on the Reds Journal.
I want to see Rochey 🙁
Johnny, ever heard of mistake picthes? Probably wasn’t trying to throw it there.
Hey, it’s LaRoche.
We need this run. Come on.
I never root the other team but that was a heck of a play.
I don’t understand how you can have a play of the game before the game is over.
Go Huck!
Lando, I know he didnt mean too but why throw anywhere near the strike zone?
We’re being shut down by Weathers.
Swinging bunt. Come on, Aybar.
Unbelievable. How many f-ing chances have the Braves blown tonight to score runs?
Why did Aybar just look at those last two pitches down the middle?
Baez or McBride in the 8th?
that was a ball
Johnny, he probably didn’t. Hence the mistake part of mistake pitch.
That did look a bit inside and low, burdog.
Happy feet by McBride!
That’s a break.
Thorman is indeed making Adam looking like a gold glove first baseman tonight.
Any predictions for the 9th?
come on braves
Much like a Jorge Sosa outing, my predictions are horrible so I’ll skip…
Marcus will flyout.
Renteria will groundout.
Andruw will strikeout.
I would love to at least tie it, but I doubt it.
Here’s an ugly stat line
.291 .487 0.778 .237
Ken Griffey Jr. Man over at Reds Journal they must be ticked.
Marcus!!! That’s important. Good start!
Come on Renteria. Get a hit.
Come on now.
DO NOT BUNT. MARCUS DOES NOT HAVE GOOD SPEED.
Good thing Giles doesn’t share your optimism Dan.
Still watching on Gameday…are those pitches all really 8 feet off the plate?
can’t believe bobby didn’t have renty bunt
Nice Renteria.
Edgar!!!
Good thing Renteria doesn’t either.
All right!
Dare I have hope?
Wow, Griffey still has a very strong arm…
Bases loaded nobody out!!!
I’ll take anything to tie the game, McCann. No weak pop-ups or strikeouts, please.
this place does a better job of keeping me informed than Yahoo’s gamechannel deal. thanks!
………………………………………..
It’s Sydney or the bush for Frenchy.
Wow, McCann letting us down. Doesn’t happen often.
Ugh, thanks McCann.
Come on Francoeur.
My god, he took it.
Yes, he is still in the doghouse.
double play….I just got kicked in the balls.
Crap.
Bleh.
It’s the bush. Damn you, Frenchy.
Only the Braves, only the Braves.
WTF!!
Francoeur needs to be in the Pound.
Hackcoeur at his finest. It will be the worst 30-100 season ever.
LOL, yeah cause McCann didn’t suck either in that same situation did he 4 seam?
well theres your limelight
Two ridiculous losses in a row.
terrible, just plain terrible
Damn it.
Mac needs some blame. He struck out with a 1st and 3rd situation earlier too.
I need to visit the rant page…….
Hey, McCann ain’t known for sucking.
Bases Loaded nobdy out, and so quickly its 3 out.
Guardado great pitching, LIE!!!!!
Rathburn is stupid.
Eddie Guardado.
Eddie (bleeping) Guardado.
Home Depot player of the game.
i’d like to shove a taco down guardado’s throat
It is embarrassing 🙁
Added Jeff Francoeur also grounds into double play.
Horam and Texas Pete.
Any of you good Southern boys and girls still even thinking of the Wild Card, report to your local psych ward.
5.5 out of the wildcard….again. And Shiell pitching tomorrow.
Bases loaded, no outs and the Braves can’t get one run to avoid losing. No other team could pull that off.
who do ya’ll think claimed andruw?
Devil Rays, LOL.
Exactly what I was thinking Dan..
I think even the Royals would get a run in that situation. Come on, that is unacceptable.
I mean, Guardado????
Guardado. Guardado.
Think about that long and hard.
maybe we need an inflatable francoer, at least there is a chance of a bases loaded walk
I was in shock for at least two minutes.
Dare I say maybe the Braves should have used Pratt instead of McCann in the ninth?
But hindsight is 20/20. I can’t get over this. I literally feel ill, being eight games under .500 again. It’s always one step foward and another back with this team.
When was the last step forward again? I forget when. This losing 7 of 10 streak has really frizzed my brain.
And no, Dan. Not even a lefty-righty would have worked with that. It’s Todd Pratt we’re talking about here.
We need an inflatable baseball team, this one’s going under.
I think we’ve been under, 4Seam.
We’re just going underer.
The Bud Light Inflatable Baseball Team wouldn’t have not scored with the base loaded.
Good point Sam, the Braves suck.
