ESPN – Braves vs. Astros Box Score, September 30 2007 – MLB How depressing. Buddy Carlyle gave up three runs in the first, and the Braves didn’t do squat offensively and thus lost, even though the pitching...

ESPN – Braves vs. Astros Box Score, September 29 2007 – MLB Huh. To be honest, I didn’t watch this game, or pay any attention to it whatsoever. Chipper went 1-3 and is still at .339. Jeff Bennett gave up a...

ESPN – Braves vs. Astros Box Score, September 28 2007 – MLB I considered not recapping this under my “I don’t recap exhibition games” policy. I mean, it’s a regular-season game, but has no...

ESPN – Braves vs. Phillies Box Score, September 27 2007 – MLB Well, the Braves have been officially eliminated. It doesn’t mean much to me, since I gave up about a month ago, but hope is officially dead. At...

ESPN – Braves vs. Phillies Box Score, September 26 2007 – MLB Well, so much for the hopeople. The Phillies took a 1-0 lead in the first on an RBI single by Howard. In the third, they got three runs, thanks in large...

ESPN – Braves vs. Phillies Box Score, September 25 2007 – MLB What, another come-from-behind win? One day, we’ll figure out how to wake this team up before mid-September and we’ll be in business. The...

ESPN – Brewers vs. Braves Box Score, September 23 2007 – MLB Another thing we didn’t see until it was too late: The team not only coming back from a 4-1 deficit, but actually adding runs to a one-run lead late...

ESPN – Brewers vs. Braves Box Score, September 22 2007 – MLB Mark Teixeira singled home Willie Harris with the winning run in the eleventh. Once again: Rah. John Smoltz had a no-hitter to two out in the sixth, but...

Again: Avoid hope. It’ll only wind up depressing you. I gave up hope weeks ago, and look at me now! Weeknights, I can barely stay awake past eight o’clock!

ESPN – Brewers vs. Braves Box Score, September 21 2007 – MLB Complete games suck. An apparent attempt to get Tim Hudson another one backfired tonight, when his 116th pitch of the night was lined to right for a...

ESPN – Brewers vs. Braves Box Score, September 20 2007 – MLB All hail our new savior, Jeff Bennett! Who needs a new third starter, when this new ace has come out of obscurity to save us! All hail Bennett! Okay, now...

ESPN – Marlins vs. Braves Box Score, September 19 2007 – MLB So the Braves sweep the Marlins. Let me be the first to say: Rah. It’s not particularly relevant, but I guess it’s better than being swept. I...

ESPN – Marlins vs. Braves Box Score, September 18 2007 – MLB Jo-Jo Reyes picked up his first career win, though he might want to be a little more efficient next time. Reyes went only five innings, but threw 100...

ESPN – Marlins vs. Braves Box Score, September 17 2007 – MLB Well, that should help the old Pythagorean record. “Sure, we finished third, but we ‘should have’ won 94 games!” Chipper singled in...

ESPN – Braves vs. Nationals Box Score, September 16 2007 – MLB So it turns out that Major League Baseball has an obscure stat called a “complete game”. This refers not to a game that is actually completed...

ESPN – Braves vs. Nationals Box Score, September 15 2007 – MLB The good news for Lance Cormier is that he only allowed three hits. The bad news is that he did that in only two innings, that two of the hits were...

ESPN – Braves vs. Nationals Box Score, September 14 2007 – MLB I am not recapping that whole thing. Hitting the highlights, such as they were… The Braves opened up a 3-0 lead in the first, Teixeira the big blow...

ESPN – Braves vs. Mets Box Score, September 12 2007 – MLB This team…. ugh. they trailed most of the night, 3-1 with two out and nobody on in the eighth. Renteria walked, Teixeira singled, and McCann walked....

ESPN – Braves vs. Mets Box Score, September 11 2007 – MLB Well, I was right about Carlyle. The Braves built a 9-0 lead over the first four innings, knocking Hernandez out of the game in the fourth, in which they...

ESPN – Braves vs. Mets Box Score, September 10 2007 – MLB I think that the problem is that the Braves suck. They fell behind in the first when they couldn’t turn a double play on a ground ball, allowing Reyes...
