ESPN – Braves vs. Astros – Box Score – September 28, 2008 Just to add to the disgust, the Braves finished this lost season by losing a game… largely on the strength of a home run by Brad Ausmus. Will no...

ESPN – Braves vs. Astros – Box Score – September 27, 2008 Josh Anderson had hit one homer entering tonight’s game; he hit two, one leading off the game and a two-run homer in the second, tonight. The...

ESPN – Braves vs. Astros – Box Score – September 26, 2008 In the annals of “pathetic ways to lose”, a walkoff homer by Darin Erstad is definitely up there. Not that it matters. Campillo did not...

ESPN – Braves vs. Phillies – Box Score – September 24, 2008 Well, that was unexpected. The Braves took a 2-0 lead in the first, and led 3-1 entering the bottom of the third, but Jo-Jo the Dogfaced Pitcher...

ESPN – Braves vs. Phillies – Box Score – September 23, 2008 Uh… We won? But we never beat the Phillies. Hampton went tonight, and since he’s a deep-cover Mets operative, maybe he’s not with...

ESPN – Braves vs. Phillies – Box Score – September 22, 2008 Really, they’re trying. Lots! Jurrjens gave up a couple of early runs, then settled down, as has been his wont of late. The Braves...

ESPN – Mets vs. Braves – Box Score – September 21, 2008 Stop me if you’ve heard this one: HA-HA!!! In each of the first two innings, the Mets scored two runs while the Braves scored one, and it stayed 4-2...

ESPN – Mets vs. Braves – Box Score – September 20, 2008 That’s more like it. The Braves took a 3-0 lead in the first, and actually held on. When the Mets cut it to 3-2, the Braves actually got out of...

ESPN – Mets vs. Braves – Box Score – September 19, 2008 Well, that’s pretty standard. The Braves came back from 5-3 down to tie it, only to lose when they immediately gave up four runs. In their defense,...

ESPN – Phillies vs. Braves – Box Score – September 18, 2008 So, the Phillies won nine of nine games in Atlanta this season. That’s not good. I’d be more upset, of course, if I hadn’t given up...

ESPN – Phillies vs. Braves – Box Score – September 17, 2008 Seriously, for the first time, I thought that maybe they really were lying down. I mean, I’m sure they’re not, but they don’t seem...

ESPN – Phillies vs. Braves – Box Score – September 16, 2008 See, Mets? We just can’t beat them! Sorry! Shutout through two. Then Klinger Parr finally gave up some runs, three of them to be precise, but...

ESPN – Braves vs. Mets – Box Score – September 14, 2008 Ha ha! The Mets led 4-2 entering the ninth, and lost, because their bullpen is collapsing, and they are on the verge of another late season swan dive. I...

ESPN – Braves vs. Mets – Box Score – September 13, 2008 Sad, really. Jo-Jo Reyes (again, he’s not pitching well enough to be called “Joseph”) only went two innings, in which he gave up four...

ESPN – Rockies vs. Braves – Box Score – September 11, 2008 Poor Rockies, they must really be hard up if they lose a series to us. The Braves, as usual, took an early lead, 2-0 in the second, only to immediately...

ESPN – Rockies vs. Braves – Box Score – September 10, 2008 The win rule? Still stupid. Jamie Parr went out there and went six scoreless innings, giving up five hits and not walking anyone while striking out...

ESPN – Rockies vs. Braves – Box Score – September 09, 2008 So, how do the Braves win after losing the last two games? On a balk. A balk. I guess I’ll take it, but it just goes to show you that this team...

ESPN – Nationals vs. Braves – Box Score – September 07, 2008 You see, I would have brought back the Miserable Braves Loss Type-Index, but they keep coming up with new ways to lose. The going out to a 4-1 lead...

ESPN – Nationals vs. Braves – Box Score – September 06, 2008 I just don’t know. Recapping these games is a real chore, and I’ve been backsliding, but what’s the point? Hampton gave up four...
