Bullpen: 10 runs tonight. Midseason form, guys. Way to send a message to the rest of the division, esp since every one of our starters maxes out at 5 innings.
Going to be a long year.

Man, this feels like last year. Fall behind, battle back, offense totally turns it off in extras, lose.

It seems like all we did was upgrade the rotation, which is fine, but when they only go 6 every night, the bullpen and bench become just as important, and we’re seriously lacking in both areas. What good do 6 scoreless innings from a starter do when you cant score or keep them from scoring in the 7th, 8th, and 9th?
Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.

Wouldn’t have been meaningless had Tex and McCann gotten on base.

Kotsay doubles. Corky to hit.

brad, our bench and bullpen are both upgraded. we are 2 games into the freakin’ season. step off the ledge. your points hold no water when the sample size is less than 2%.

It’s not as funny as it would be if Boyer hadn’t screwed the pooch, but here’s the latest from HonestWagener:
Bonds would have caught that fly ball to left to end the game against the Braves.
Adam

God hates the Atlanta Braves.

Hahaha. I really want to see Corky Miller come up with a chance to win it….

Kotsay’s not sucking so far I think. Radio tends to make me forget what players have done earlier in the night.

He probably wouldn’t have hit it if they had.

I dreamed all offseason of the day we’d need a HR down 1 in the 9th and Corky Miller popped out of the dugout.

I’m gonna stay up for another 1/2 hour just to make sure this one is over.
I think we can say in all fairness that we didn’t deserve to win this one.

Well, it will take until the ASB for these guys to attempt to get the ERA down to a respectable level.
Rob Cope
on March 31, 2008 at 9:51 pm
I agree, AAR. The hope was a gift…
mraver
on March 31, 2008 at 9:52 pm
Oh, we definitely did not deserve to win that. We had like, what, one real hit in that 5-run 9th? I think the Frenchy/Kotsay/Diaz mini-rally in the 12th was the most offense we had after the 4th.
I only really regret Cox bunting Diaz in the 10th and the craptacular offensive show in the 11th. Oh, and it sucked that we got murdered by Xavier Nady.
Let’s take the next two and nip that right in the bud.

They should have gotten Javy out of his street clothes to pinch hit for Corky in the 12th. This team may drive me to drink more than I normally do if these two games are an indication.

oh, but it gets better…due to our scheduling we have a well needed day off. Two games into the season and we need a break

I know there’s a new R.E.M. album coming out today (Tuesday), so I think “Everybody Hurts” is the clear choice for Wednesday’s Game Thread.
At least Jurrjens won’t have to pitch tonight.
Well, at least the game’s over.
Shit.

You have to be kidding me. The bullpen stinks
hit it to jason bay
I’d second-guess Bobby tonight, but I think tonight’s game was more like the Mitchell report. It’s everyone’s fault. Personally, I blame Tim McCarver.
Hit it to Bay!
our 2008 bullpen thus far: 11 runs in 8.2 innings pitched.
I blame Joe Morgan.
That’s one.
Probably not a good sign when your team gets “much-needed rest” with 160 games to go.
It’s been a long spring.
Frenchy! We need more of those when it matters.
Now just two more of those…
Francoeur hits a meaningless homer with 2 outs.
go frenchy!
Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.
Frenchy. Ha.
Wouldn’t have been meaningless had Tex and McCann gotten on base.
Kotsay doubles. Corky to hit.

I like these honestwagner guys.
I think this game constitutes cruel and unusual punishment.
Oh, Kotsay scored on that, my bad…another one run loss in the works?
Well that was anti-climactic.
I know what it really means, but I keep seeing “Honest Wagner”.
OK, *now* it can’t get any worse.
If the Braves weren’t carrying three catchers, who would have been left to hit?
Goonight everyone. At least that nightmare game is over.
Two losses in two games…
never mind…thought it meant something else.
Braves bullpen + Jager = bad combo.
@ 549: Thorman.
Hey, what’s our record in 1-run games this season?
We can at least take solace in the fact that our pythagorean record isn’t nearly as bad as our actual record.
At least we know our offense does work
They just wanted to score 2 runs to make it a 1 run game – just to ensure that we once again have one of the worst 1 one game records in the bigs
I think we can say in all fairness that we didn’t deserve to win this one.
Well, it will take until the ASB for these guys to attempt to get the ERA down to a respectable level.
