Month: July 2016
Baseball game mercifully obscured by complex trade details – did we lose?
Yes we did…Phils 9 Bravos 5. Very few of our current membership actually saw any of this game – they were all far too busy in deep, protracted discussions of the financial minutiae of a certain player swap. Preoccupied thus … Finish Reading
Phillies 476 Braves… Who Cares (by Smitty)
The Phillies killed the Braves. No one really cares about that. The big news is the two most immovable players in all of baseball were traded for each other.
All of you know the Hector Olivera saga. He was once … Finish Reading
Braves 9, Twins 7: The Pursuit to the Bottom

Colorado 4, Atlanta 3
Well, this game was a perfect example of why you can’t have your best starter leave after four
innings and expect to win.
The Braves jumped out to a 1-0 lead, when Freddie Freeman tripled and scored on a Nick … Finish Reading
Rockies 7, Bad Team is Bad
I didn’t watch this game and I’m not sorry. The Braves dropped their third game to the Rockies in less than a week — the Rockies, a franchise that hasn’t finished above .500 in six years and which recently traded … Finish Reading
