LOL. Melky.
Melky, get a hit and I will buy you a box of donuts!
I think my heart is going to explode.
At least Melky doesn’t look nervous. He just looks hungry.
Melky is no Francisco Cabrera.
Whomp, whomp.
couldn’t see. that one blown too?
Appropriately feeble.
Screw these umpires.
So long, Bobby.
Goodnight, everybody. It was a good season, despite everything.
Well, at least he didn’t strike out. I won’t say “See y’all in February,” but (as with most of you) I won’t be posting much soon.
Oh Melky.
Oh well, fun season y’all.
Our final at-bat is by Melky. How fitting.
It was always all Melky’s fault.
Poor Conrad….
Well, that was the right way to end it. Melktober.
Well…thanks Bobby for all you’ve given this organization, even when you drove us crazy. And thanks Wagner, for this year. It was a great ride.
I’m looking forward to next year, with our young arms. Here’s hoping for a healthy season for us.
well Bobby, congrats on a good career
Well I do have to say that this was probably the most entertaining season I’ve experienced in my time, and this blog was honestly a huge reason for it.
Thanks for everything Bobby. Enjoy retirement.
Thanks for 166 games that meant something this year, Braves.
Thanks Bobbyq
pretty nice of the Giants also
Well, Wren, get us a real left field bat and the best right-handed reliever you can afford in the offseason.
Enjoy getting bent over by the Phillies, Giants.
@520:
yes.
EDIT: Sorry for that. Great season, Braves. 2011 looks pretty nice. See ya, Bobby. Thanks for great baseball since I was 6 years old.
Goodbye Bobby and Wags. Sorry for how you both went out- but you did go down swinging.
To the 2010 Atlanta Braves: Thanks Guys for a great season.
good season, braves. i can guarantee that melky wont be the last out of next year’s postseason.

we might as well get Cody Ross for CF. Thatll keep him from beating us 3-5 times each year
cody ross’ lifetime OPS at turner field is 150 points higher than his career average.
just saying.
EDIT: not actually saying we sign him. again, sign him, and park him the instructional league in antarctica.
Thanks for the memories, Bobby.
defense, resign Hinske, get something useful in CF/LF, and trade Lowe
The Giants even celebrate like a bunch of annoying wusses.
Now I am really just being bitter.
529: lowe may not be worth the money, but the man showed up to play this postseason. can’t disrespect his performance in this series.
And that’s a wrap.
Go Braves.
Thanks for everything Bobby.
It was really sad to see Bobby end his tenure here. It was most likely time to go but his guys always played hard for him
One thing I thought was. Of all the talented guys that bobby has had and hard working guys. Its sad his last at bat as a manager was Melky who is lazy and underacheiver. Sad
Season was a blast. This has to be my favorite Braves team ever.
I say quit EFFIN’ around and trade for a freakin’ power bat.
Tommy Hanson for Ryan Braun. Get it done, Wren.
#534 – But it didnt have to be…it couldve been Diaz up there.
Thanks for everything, Bobby. Loved watching you, Wags. Thanks also to Mac, who has the sad task of recapping this game.
I still can’t believe how much this team did with so little — I’m only surprised that I finally feel a little sadness that it’s over. All in all, a very enjoyable season. Excited for 2011 and super-pumped for 2012, which is when I believe our true window will open. Enjoy Werth and Oswalt while you can, Phillies.
(You can never start cranking the hype machine too early, I suppose!)
Well booooo! But really, the way it happened notwithstanding, if someone had offered you a 91 win season and a WC berth on Opening Day, even with a 1st round loss, you’d have taken it. The team played marvelously for a very long time, and this season was most enjoyable to me, all in all.
#531 – exactly right, Lowe has been our best pitcher for the last 2 months. I got tons of respect for how he picked up this team down the stretch. But, if anyone is willing to take that contract you gotta move him
Chipper, Prado, Medlen, Jurrjens, Wagner, Saito, EOF = what might have been
Recapped. Melky is fat and he sucks and if he’s on the team next year I can’t be held responsible for what happens.
After last night, I was ready for the end. I didn’t want it to end so soon, but I was ready.
There is lump in my throat, and a smile on my face.
Bobby, I’m gonna miss you. I have never known another manager. Enjoy a well earned retirement.
Wags, for once I got to pull for you on my team. It was an honor.
Melky, Agon, KK, and I know I’m in the minority here, but Frank Wren(I wish), good ridance.
I am ready for the new era. I am ready for a change. I am ready for some youth. I never want to see the visitors locker room at Turner Field sprayed with bubbly again.
We were playing with house money. I’m going to enjoy watching the Phillies destroy these clowns.
Great 2010 Season Braves. Thanks Bobby. Feel about the same as when Dean Smith was done.
Chipper Jones…
“I don’t want the last memory of me to be laying out behind third base. On top of that, I was playing really well and I was swinging the bat really well. I was healthy and I was running the bases good. My frame of mind was really focused. I just want to keep going,” said the 38-year-old.
