ESPN – Braves vs. Blue Jays – Box Score – June 29, 2008 First off, Francoeur sucks. I just wanted to mention that. Secondly, Joseph Reyes was terrific, made essentially one mistake, and wound up losing the game...

ESPN – Braves vs. Blue Jays – Box Score – June 28, 2008 On paper, decent offense and bad pitching. It wasn’t quite that, though I guess at the end it turned out that way. But through seven innings, the...

ESPN – Braves vs. Blue Jays – Box Score – June 27, 2008 Easy. It’s important to note, as DOB did in his blog entry today, that the Braves are getting excellent pitching, especially starting pitching. You...

ESPN – Brewers vs. Braves – Box Score – June 25, 2008 Jorge Campillo figured out the secret — the lineup isn’t going to win the game for you, you’re going to have to do it yourself. He went...

ESPN – Brewers vs. Braves – Box Score – June 24, 2008 Charlie Morton, welcome to the “I Hate The Lineup” Club! Tim Hudson, President, Joseph Reyes, Treasurer. Morton, christened “Poor...

ESPN – Brewers vs. Braves – Box Score – June 23, 2008 Terrible. Braves-killer Ben Sheets did his thing, and even though the game was theoretically in doubt the whole way, you never got the feeling that the...

ESPN – Mariners vs. Braves – Box Score – June 22, 2008 So, that’s what we’re paying (well, Liberty Media is paying) Mark Teixeira for. Teixeira was 3-4 with all three hits home runs, one of them...

ESPN – Mariners vs. Braves – Box Score – June 21, 2008 I am not changing my mind about this team, but a win’s a win. Chipper and Escobar were out of the starting lineup, taking away not only two of the...

ESPN – Mariners vs. Braves – Box Score – June 20, 2008 Worst day ever? Got to be close. Blown out, and both Chipper and Escobar left the game with what are supposed to be minor injuries. It started well enough,...

ESPN – Braves vs. Rangers – Box Score – June 19, 2008 I really do hate this team. Once again, the Braves went out to an early 2-0 lead only to blow it. The Hamster ground into a double play with runners first...

ESPN – Braves vs. Rangers – Box Score – June 18, 2008 Remarkable. The Braves led 2-0 early, lost the lead, and yet, rallied for three runs in the top of the ninth to secure the winning margin. I’m not...

ESPN – Braves vs. Rangers – Box Score – June 17, 2008 It wasn’t that close, and the Braves were rarely really in danger of another one-run loss, much less winning. The Rangers took a 1-0 lead in the...

ESPN – Braves vs. Rockies – Box Score – June 16, 2008 The Braves have suddenly won three out of their last four road games. Go figure. Jair Jurrjens started on long rest, and looked much fresher than he has;...

ESPN – Braves vs. Angels – Box Score – June 15, 2008 Well, back to the suckage. Jorge Campillo threw his first career complete game, allowing two runs on seven hits, and earned a spot in the Tim Hudson “I...

ESPN – Braves vs. Angels – Box Score – June 14, 2008 I’m seriously confused now. The Braves have won two games in a row, on the road, against the team that started the series with the best record in the...

ESPN – Braves vs. Angels – Box Score – June 13, 2008 Huh? First off, Chipper gets scratched from the lineup because he somehow hit a ball in batting practice directly into a pole which somehow bounced right...

ESPN – Braves vs. Cubs – Box Score – June 12, 2008 Chipper Watch: 1 for 5, with an intentional walk. Not a good day, he had a two-out infield single in the first and then struggled, and is “down” to...

ESPN – Braves vs. Cubs – Box Score – June 11, 2008 What’s the damned point? Chipper was back in the lineup, and he went 1-3 before getting pulled with the score 7-0 and is hitting .419, and I might as...

ESPN – Braves vs. Cubs – Box Score – June 10, 2008 The Good: Well, it stared off great! In the first, Escobar and Kelly both reached base in front of Jenny Francoeur, who batted third because Bobby let...
