Two bad teams playing a day game in August game thread: Aug. 17, Giants at Braves
By rule, they have to play these games, or at least try to.

i didnt think anything could make me wish for more Phil Collins videos. wrong again, Barry.
So is Glavine done for good?
Even if he weren’t injured, I’d lean towards yes.
I cant see Wren tying up money in Glavine next year, or Hampton, I hope.
Assuming that either wanted to pitch for Atlanta, I could see both pitchers getting the kind of offers that Dennis Martinez and John Burkett received.
I certainly hope that the Braves don’t throw any significant money at either….
get this:
E. Mejia (6’6″, 190 22 year old), our 1B down @ MB, is playing insane…his line:
.277/18/82
with a SLG of .512 and an OPS of .838.
in a park that, well, is not great for hitters (i know, they moved in the fences, but still)…
anybody think that this guy or Freeman could move to LF?
I see that nobody’s here, and I can’t blame you. Anyway, I don’t know if Lincecum is quite as good as his rep, but the Braves sure make him look that way. I hate this team.
Mac do you think Glavine is done?
Yes. I said I thought he was done when he pitched the other day, and there’s little reason to think otherwise after they shut him down.
Francoeur fields his position like he’s wearing lead underwear.
Based on the way he pitched down the stretch last year, he was done before the season started and his signing smacked of a hat tip to the soccer mom fan base that goes to a few Braves games per year.
@7–not much reason to watch or much to get worked up about these days; Lincecum is filthy even if he isn’t exactly facing the ’27 Yanks today
any benefit to picking up Sexson to platoon with Kotchman? I’d give it a go given how few hr the team is hitting and how little of anything Kotchman is hitting
Today was Craig Biggio day in Houston, had a pregame ceremony and Jeff Bagwell was in attendance, of course. A much skinnier Jeff Bagwell than in his playing days, I may point out. Funny how that works out.
And who comes to the plate in the big situation, but the Out Machine.
I would rather have Hampton pinch-hitting for Francoeur here.
You suck, Jeffy.
Who starts in the OF Opening Day 2009?
Dunn, Josh Anderson and Frenchy?
Greg White kind of sucked today. I think he’s better suited to 4th OF.
Recap is up. Anderson is no good either.
Two-thirds of the starting outfield next opening day is not in the Braves organization right now.
Manny, Josh Anderson/G. Blanco, and Frency/B. Jones
as for #19:
the LF is not in the organization. We are going to sign a power OF bat and AT LEAST 2 starting pitchers.

I’d say:
Sheets
R. Dempster
Manny
