Oh my God, that was agonizing.
Painful
Yeeahhhhh.
Y’know, if we’d lost this game…well, I can’t even think about it.
I’m cracking a Beck’s. Nighty-night all…
we’ll have a trade to talk about soon enough…
If that had been anyone other than the Giants we lose.
I hear the Padres are interested in a Peavy for Woodward, Ledezma, and Thorman package. I say go for it.
time for bed
I really wish that the Braves had had more patience with Macay.
8 2/3 with our starter, a 4 run lead, and yet we have to use 6 pitchers. our pitchers will be feeling the affect of this game for a while.
Peanut already has his game recap up. He must be standing by for a trade report.
Chipper watch: .347 average
braves14, who is peanut? Some other braves blog? link? (not that I don’t love this place, but I can’t get enough braves.)
Woodward delenda est.
And I’ve come to believe that Wickman can’t pitch every day.
Peanut is the Braves Journal nickname for the beatwriter on the Offical site.
Watch out!!! Lance Cormier pitched a complete game shutout last night!!!
Good Morning All,
I fell asleep when it was 4-1 in the 9th and my eyes opened during the 10th to see a 4-4 tie. I was so sickened I went to bed.
The Braves were ONE OUT AWAY from the first complete game of the year, Bobby PANICKED (he should have listened to Stu) and took Huddy out who I think would have finished the job.
Blob Wickman is awful on the road. I suppose it could be worse and be really like Reitsma and Kolbb and be awful everywhere, but I am sick of his shit. This is the fucking answer to our closer problems? Plus, Soriano now stinks, mainly because Bobby abused his arm, early in the year.
Besides the fact that Wick isn’t as good as he used to be, the real problem has always been Bobby’s management of the bullpen. He gassed these relievers so much early in the season (and yes, we had Mark Redman starts and Davies starts so they had to be used at times), but we should think about a few 9-1 games where I saw Soriano come out of the pen. That’s where it got messed uo.
If there ever was such a think as a bad win, this was it. Thankfully, I woke up to find out we WON, but still, how we didn’t finish a team off that’s already out of it, in the 9th, is sickening.
The Braves are in deep trouble if we don’t get some more bullpen help and Bobby doesn’t stop abusing his relievers. It’s really Bobby’s biggest achilles heel. It’s why he even has to go to 8 relievers at times.
Why again are we not giving Joey Devine a shot, by the way?
