I can’t deal with Mets fans right now. If anyone needs me, I’ll be in bed with my head under the pillows.

Take comfort in the fact that we’re so bad that it’s not even fun to make fun of us anymore.
So, the Braves signed each of their first 17 selections (and 24 of 52 overall) from this past draft. Pretty darn good.
from Bobby’s comments and the “Braves expecting improvement from Reyes” headline on the Website, I dont know how Jo Jo will pitch tonight. Its not like he was even throwing well at richmond. Last two starts
10IP 12H 6ER 7BB 8K
doesnt look as if his command has improved at all.
Why do we keep bringing guys back from the minors BEFORE they’ve accomplished what they were sent out to accomplish?
Wren is not impressing.
I never write off games, but I’d be crazy not to admit that tonight isn’t a great mound matchup for us.
I’m rooting for a small victory: 2 of 3 this week at Shea. I just wanna leave that stadium one last time hearing the collective grumbles that have entertained me for so many years.
you know Parr has looked very solid, even at Richmond. I think he’s only 22 and could find himself up next year.
Bad thing is that our Richmond staff is bad, actually awful. Chuck James and Jo Jo are the best pitchers there (outside of Parr) and they have been terrible recently. Chuck had this line on the 13th
5IP 6H 5ER 4BB 6K
James Parr pitched last night and didnt allow a run. 6IP 2H 2BB 5K, but I guess there is no point in rushing the guy up
Nothing would be more hilarious than to take two-out-of-three in this series. It will surely test the degree to which the Mets have a mental block when playing us, but it might actually carry me through the rest of the season if we can pull it off.
I wouldn’t even mind seeing us only win 3 games the rest of the year if they’re against the Mets.
interesting…

Gotay on DL for bad hammy….
Well I guess we’ll just have to do without our….what is it that Gotay does again?
#4. It’s not like they want to bring up Reyes. It’s either that or have Frenchy pitch.
anyone think we’ll win a one run road game against these guys? that would be insult to injury wouldnt it??
Gotay’s our resident Mets spy, this year’s Chris Woodward, except that he’s a marginally better hitter and he’s taken many fewer at-bats. I’m sure that I’d hate him if he played more, but as it is he’s just a waste of a roster spot.
Have we still not won a one-run game on the road?
#14 – I don’t believe we have. It’s gotten a little harder now that we have stopped winning games period.
Not that it really matters, but are we just straight-swapping Reyes for Gotay on the roster or are we calling up a minor league infielder?
Going back to the 2007 season, the Braves have lost their last 26 one-run road games, a Major League record.
Can’t think of a better place than Shea to break that evil streak.
Gotay is injured! Oh no, the season is ruined. Oops, well I guess that’s already happened – several months ago.
Anybody know where I can get a Rice Owls baseball hat in Atlanta?
Thanks in advance!
we suck beels.
The Braves might want to rethink their love affair with left handed pitchers who throw high fastballs around 90 mph with no movement and crap control. Just saying.
I’m at work and can’t watch the game. I am a lucky man.
Well, I guess that’s one way to manufacture runs…
In other news, Willie Harris hit his 10th HR for the Nats today. When did he turn into Mike Cameron?
El Prado is hitting .324 now. He still can’t play defense.
Neither can Francoeur. At least Prado can hit. Maybe he should play RF?
Prado still can’t play defense, hit homeruns, walk or put up, in my opinion, an OBP of .340 in a full season.
I think he’s a .290/.325/.400 guy in a full season.
Of course Kelly ain’t doing much better than that right now. Maybe the Braves should start playing Johnson only against lefties; who is hitting .343 against.
Braves still have a one run lead. Will it hold up? The road curse will be over tonight.
I want to see Mike Gonzalez out there with a 1-run lead in the ninth.
Mike Gonzalez’s 30-something save streak vs. the worst one-run road loss streak in the history of MLB.
Irresistible force meets immovable object.
Dan, the way this season has been going (actually, the last 3)…Gonzalez would blow it.
His save streak over, the Braves 1-run patheticness continues…our depression continues.
The worst of both worlds basically.
Jeebus.
What happened now?
C’mon boys, hang on…
Oh nothing new. Couldn’t get Escobar home from third with one out. Infante and McCann both popped out against the newly acquired Luis Ayala.
THE Luis Ayala?!?!?
Hey, did Kotchrot actually get a hit?
Barely. Easley made a nice play on it and would’ve had him with just an average throw.
Damian Easley is older than I am and is in his 17th season in the major leagues. Prado should take notes.
if we win tonight, i say we change our name to the atlanta barnacles.
3-2, bottom of the eighth.
Gonzalez for 1-run ninth inning save!
If he can pitch. According to DOB, (1) he had his hamstring wrapped today and (2) the temp has dropped 20 degrees, at least, from this afternoon.
Hands up, anyone who didn’t see this coming. Anyone? Anyone? Didn’t think so.
Typical.
ladies and gentlemen: your atlanta barnacles.
That one-run difference looks much more familiar.
HA HA HA HA
perfect
all set up for the one run loss
anyone else having trouble reading BravesJ via IE–I get the site fine with firefox but not IE
I don’t know why, other than IE sucks. It loads on my computer. How much of the site can you see?
IE sucks almost as much as this team. Almost.
Well that sure isn’t helping Ohman become a Type B
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATE.
Good lord, where are the halcyon days of Gryboski and Paronto?
I know! At least Gryboski would get the next guy to strand his own runner after he allowed two inherited runners to score.
no more worry about a one run loss
I wasn’t getting the center column but switching themes solved the problem
Did Chip just say that Toronto could contend for a wild card spot?
“Rebuilding.”
I’ve accepted this concept. Embracing it, even. Just stop teasing me, guys. Either win or lose 7-0. Quit giving me hope on a given night.
Remember guys ‘we’re one or two players away’ /parrot.
Recap up, complete with some cursing.
