[Garmel]

Definitely our best lineup(and order) until La Stella gets called up.

[NinersSBChamps]

Why do I even bother anymore.

**** it. I am finished with the GDT stuff.

[sturg33]

What this time?

You take this a little too seriously, if you ask me

Niners is the Chris Johnson of posters.

[Tapate50]

Niners is the Chris Johnson of posters.

Excellent work!

[nsacpi]

I think he just threw his keyboard at me.

[NinersSBChamps]

What this time?

You take this a little too seriously, if you ask me

I wanted it to be fun for everyone involved. No reason to explain why I am angry about it anyway. Just a waste of my time since it will inevitably occur again.

[Dalyn]

Thanks for trying! I thought it was a cool idea, but no point stressing over it.

The style manual calls for this:

GDT #, 5/26/'14: Braves (Pitcher) vs. Red Sox (Pitcher), 7:30 EST

Instead we got this:

GDT 51: May 27, 2014 Red Sox (Lester) @ Braves (Harang), 7:10 EST

There are some subtle but important departures from the recommended format

[NinersSBChamps]

Lester has been up and down this season. Hope we can hit him early and often tonight.

[Hulavol]

I am calling a BJ dinger, and a Gattis dinger.
Braves win big.

[NYCBrave]

Why do I even bother anymore.

**** it. I am finished with the GDT stuff.

Did I do something wrong? We're coming off of a loss so I figured it was up for grabs. Plus I've seen other posters start multiple ones.

[nsacpi]

Did I do something wrong? We're coming off of a loss so I figured it was up for grabs. Plus I've seen other posters start multiple ones.

Personally, I don't think you match up well against the Red Sox. The Cubs or Padres, yes. A man's gotta know his limitations.

[NinersSBChamps]

Did I do something wrong? We're coming off of a loss so I figured it was up for grabs. Plus I've seen other posters start multiple ones.

Well I was supposed to make it yesterday, but someone else did before I could. I told KL that I probably wouldn't be able to make it yesterday, but when I logged in around 930 my time the thread was already made.

[graffy]

This is really important to you, isn't it?

Can't just make the minor adjustments for him? It's a GDT, not the Declaration Of Independence.

[nsacpi]

Can't just make the minor adjustments for him? It's a GDT, not the Declaration Of Independence.

It is the holy of holies. I do not feel worthy of messing with it.

Eeb plebnista norkon forden perfectunun

[jsebe10]

I will say that yesterday me and a few of my fellow service members got to spend some time with Uggla, Preach, Schafer, Vavarro, Medlen, Julio T, and Kimbrel and they are really good people. Signed some sh!t for us and spoke for a little bit. Even

[NinersSBChamps]

Gattis scratched with a worst sprain he suffered in batting practice.

National Guard eh?

[stpeteirish]

Gattis scratched with a worst sprain he suffered in batting practice.

wrist, I presume.

[NinersSBChamps]

wrist, I presume.

It was a worst wrist sprain. Yes you are correct.

[NinersSBChamps]

Great start!

[CyYoung31]

Seriously, I can't deal with much more of Johnson at 3B.

[Tapate50]

It was a worst wrist sprain. Yes you are correct.
Nice recovery!

[Tapate50]

Nice recovery!
Can't say the same for our defense in the first frame.

[NinersSBChamps]

Seriously, I can't deal with much more of Johnson at 3B.

And who should we have out there?

[CrimsonCowboy]

Bandwagon Red Sox fans drive me nuts

[NYCBrave]

I literally think the other team has scored first in 90% of our games in May.

[NinersSBChamps]

I literally think the other team has scored first in 90% of our games in May.

Without looking it up I bet that it's pretty close to that number. Maybe closer to 3/4 games, but yeah it's annoying.

[CyYoung31]

Could have been a lot worse.

[CyYoung31]

And who should we have out there?

A snail? A sloth? Laird?

[NinersSBChamps]

A snail? A sloth? Laird?

All of those are essentially the same.

[NinersSBChamps]

That was crushed! Jason launched that one!!

[CrimsonCowboy]

BOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMM

[NinersSBChamps]

Expecting a solid game from Simmons.

[NinersSBChamps]

For every awful play there is a great one from CJ.

[Julio3000]

Jackie Bradley, Jr. sounds like he should've been a soul singer in the late 60s early 70s.

[NinersSBChamps]

The race for a hit between Alex Wood and Jon Lester.

[CyYoung31]

For every 100 awful plays there is a great one from CJ.

FIFY.

[Julio3000]

FIFY.

This.

[TURBO]

FIFY.

Like your post ratio.

[Julio3000]

Blinding speed from the Gerald.

[Tapate50]

Gerald Lard can't hope to be contained at room temp .

[cajunrevenge]

MVP! MVP! MVP!

[NinersSBChamps]

Squeeze me.

[Dalyn]

Bet he will Harang one here.

[TURBO]

I dont want Harang to swing here

[cajunrevenge]

WTF is Harang swinging for?

[NinersSBChamps]

What the ****. Amazing how bad this team is and little things.

[NinersSBChamps]

The ****s should teach a class on how to screw up.

[Dalyn]

I hate seeing the bases loaded now.

[tvsportscaster]

The one time a strikeout would have actually been good and Harang does the one thing you can't do. Wow.

[CyYoung31]

Like your post ratio.

Really?

[NinersSBChamps]

How can you allow your pitcher to go up and swing the bat? Make the pitcher throw three strikes before four balls.

[NinersSBChamps]

Nice swing BJ.

[NinersSBChamps]

Hit and run here. CJ is prone to double plays. Maybe Justin running can keep that from happening.

[Dalyn]

Hit and run here. CJ is prone to double plays. Maybe Justin running can keep that from happening.

Good idea.

[NinersSBChamps]

Well at least we scored a run to take the lead.

[Dalyn]

CJ did his job.

[Lville21]

It was a ball anyway, Lester.

[NinersSBChamps]

I wish Smoltz would become a manager or at least a pitching coach.

[NinersSBChamps]

Expecting a solid game from Simmons.

Looking good.

[CyYoung31]

Does Turbo need a banning?

[NinersSBChamps]

Does Turbo need a banning?

At some point, we all do.

[NinersSBChamps]

Looks like he was out from that second angle. Tough to overturn this though.

[Tapate50]

Looks like he was out from that second angle. Tough to overturn this though.

Agree
Ball hits his knee before the foot hits the bag, you can see the glove bounce back as it hits

[NinersSBChamps]

Would have scored from second base anyway.

[mfree80]

The downfall of replay will be if they take the time and still get it wrong.

[TURBO]

Does Turbo need a banning?

For what? Making a joke towards you. Sorry Mr sensitive. I thought we have fun here.

[graffy]

Would have scored from second base anyway.

You think they would have sent him back to second if the challenge had gone the Braves way?

[NYCBrave]

Didn't the replay show he was out????

[Tapate50]

Yeah stop being a fun vacuum Cy. Gah!

[jsebe10]

No point in having replay if they can't get it right.

[tvsportscaster]

You think they would have sent him back to second if the challenge had gone the Braves way?

No he would have been called out and would not have scored.

[graffy]

Didn't the replay show he was out????

Too close to overturn it. There was too much dirt in the air to see when the foot hit the base. He was probably out, but not convincing evidence.

[NinersSBChamps]

Didn't the replay show he was out????

Yes one angle showed he appeared to be out. However the raucous Red Sox fans in Atlanta made him safe.

[CyYoung31]

For what? Making a joke towards you. Sorry Mr sensitive. I thought we have fun here.

It was obviously tongue in cheek. Calm down.

[NYCBrave]

Can someone explain what the F**k all of these Red Sox fans are doing in Atlanta?

[Tapate50]

Can't believe Lester is getting away with this.

[NinersSBChamps]

It was obviously tongue in cheek. Calm down.

Whose tongue in whose cheek?

[graffy]

Can someone explain what the F**k all of these Red Sox fans are doing in Atlanta?

The Red Sox, Cubs, and Yankees have fans all over the country.

Braves fans get 81 chances to see their team play at Turner Field. Red Sox fans get two this season. Do the math. They are going to come to these 2 games.

[NinersSBChamps]

Can someone explain what the F**k all of these Red Sox fans are doing in Atlanta?

Pretending they are actually Boston fans?

[Tapate50]

Heyward got schooled right there

[NinersSBChamps]

Lester needs to relax. His catcher is setting up outside on a lot of these pitches.

[NinersSBChamps]

Wow that was an awful strike three called. That was a foot outside.

[CrimsonCowboy]

Bob Davidson not making many friends tonight.

Oh, and does any team in MLB whine more than the Red Sox?

[NYCBrave]

The Red Sox, Cubs, and Yankees have fans all over the country.

Braves fans get 81 chances to see their team play at Turner Field. Red Sox fans get two this season. Do the math. They are going to come to these 2 games.

I'd think the Braves have more fans over the country due to TBS, but you never see their fans storming opposing stadiums like this. Can't see any reason why so many Red Sox fans would be in Atlanta.

[tvsportscaster]

I'd think the Braves have more fans over the country due to TBS, but you never see their fans storming opposing stadiums like this. Can't see any reason why so many Red Sox fans would be in Atlanta.

Because with Atlanta being such industrial city, they have people living there from all over the country, whose jobs take them there . So it's not surprising to see people from Boston there.

[tvsportscaster]

Is there some law I don't about that says Braves pitchers aren't allowed to have clean innings.

[NinersSBChamps]

Nobody should praise Fredi for walking Ortiz. This is the correct no brainier move.

[CrimsonCowboy]

Shut Up Sawx Fans.......

clap clap clapclapclap

[USMA76]

Are Dustin Pedroia and Jonathan Lucroy the same player? Seems like neither one has made an out against the Braves this year.

[NinersSBChamps]

Whew. Let's get a run or three.

[TURBO]

It was obviously tongue in cheek. Calm down.

http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn193/DarethDarkaxe/rawr-1.png

[Tapate50]

Boy what a breaking ball.

Hard to overstate the contribution Harang has made so far.

[NinersSBChamps]

triple alert! Holy Freddie!

[Krovahn]

Wheels!

[CyYoung31]

Freddie Freeman with a lead off triple. Sentences you will never type again.

[jsebe10]

Pretending they are actually Boston fans?

I'd say...

Like I said, I sat next to someone who had a Metter Chrysler and Ford hat on with a Redsox shirt. It even had his last name on it so that explains how big a rump ranger that guy really was.

[NinersSBChamps]

http://www.couponing101.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/hot-wheels.jpg

[NinersSBChamps]

Freddie Freeman with a lead off triple. Sentences you will never type again.
So what is the other sentence?

[NinersSBChamps]

Definition of BABIP

[CyYoung31]

So what is the other sentence?

That is just one of many.

[NinersSBChamps]

Simmons going yard.

[jsebe10]

Fckn lucky ass Pedroia

[USMA76]

Simmons going yard.

Must be a pretty small yard.

[jsebe10]

So what is the other sentence?

Damn Laird must have hit that 400 ft

[jsebe10]

Must be a pretty small yard.

That was a men's softball wave and grab there. Should have been into RC

[CrimsonCowboy]

Where's the chaperon for that couple SportSouth just showed!?

[NinersSBChamps]

I really miss when we had a decent catcher.

[nsacpi]

Harang with a huge strikeout.

[Russ2dollas]

Worried about Gattis in the wrist brace...

Pastor is an upgrade from Uggla but not much. His D has disappointed me. Hard to believe he was our starting SS.

Harang has done his job....time to go to the pen.

[CyYoung31]

I really miss when we had a decent catcher.

He's on the field tonight.

[NinersSBChamps]

He's on the field tonight.

How about one that can throw runners out?

[rico43]

Over on ESPN, Aaron Boone correctly took Pastor to school for whiffing on that ground ball for the second time in the game. He pointed out that it is a routine play for Pedroia.

[nsacpi]

Stella with a home run. His time is coming.

[nsacpi]

How about one that can throw runners out?

Dee Gordon

[NinersSBChamps]

I think the answer is McCann.

[Tapate50]

Stella with a home run. His time is coming.

Can't come soon enough

[rico43]

Worried about Gattis in the wrist brace...

Pastor is an upgrade from Uggla but not much. His D has disappointed me. Hard to believe he was our starting SS.

Harang has done his job....time to go to the pen.

Calling it a wrist sprain before the game. If he needs to go to DL, it will mean he will have his legs at the end of the season and it might get us an extended look at Bethancourt (or La Stella!)

[Tapate50]

Everyone giving this blue the business

[CyYoung31]

I wanna see Laird pitch.

[USMA76]

I can't remember the last time we had a catcher that could throw out base stealers with any regularity. McCann was substandard in that regard and, obviously, it's not the strong suit of either Laird or Gattis.

[NinersSBChamps]

I wanna see Laird pitch.

I want to see Laird eat.

[CyYoung31]

How about one that can throw runners out?

Ross is pretty good at that. Forget?

[NinersSBChamps]

I can't remember the last time we had a catcher that could throw out base stealers with any regularity. McCann was substandard in that regard and, obviously, it's not the strong suit of either Laird or Gattis.

David Ross.

[nsacpi]

Laird just missed that

[CyYoung31]

I can't remember the last time we had a catcher that could throw out base stealers with any regularity. McCann was substandard in that regard and, obviously, it's not the strong suit of either Laird or Gattis.

David Ross.

[Dalyn]

Another quality start for Harang.

[NinersSBChamps]

Does Walden have a timetable to return yet?

[USMA76]

David Ross.

Fair enough but I was referring to somebody who was our primary catcher. Ross was mostly a backup, as I recall, only getting spot duty or covering for an injured McCann.

[NinersSBChamps]

Well this could be very bad very quick.

[stpeteirish]

Does Walden have a timetable to return yet?

couple weeks, then another couple weeks and he's back on the DL again.

[bravesnumberone]

NBKLJFWBlkjaebf.kasjehfbk;lwEJFNWK.fjw

[CrimsonCowboy]

Fluke hit ties the game.:facepalm:

[CyYoung31]

What's with all of these lucky ass hits?

[bravesnumberone]

Might have been a fluke hit, but he left it up enough for him to do something with it.

[UNCBlue012]

The Braves have had some awful luck against the Sox this series. They've gotten so many luck hits.

[Garmel]

What's with all of these lucky ass hits?

Because they're a lucky ass team.

[bravesnumberone]

GET THE BALL DOWN DAMNIT

[NYCBrave]

Seriously, is this announcer a Red Sox fan??? I hate ESPN

[stpeteirish]

Hale and Wood should be our set up guys.

[jsebe10]

Might have been a fluke hit, but he left it up enough for him to do something with it.

Knee high on the inner half...it was a good pitch. Very lucky hit

[UNCBlue012]

Wow... even more lucky. Unbelievable.

[jsebe10]

Lmfao and another one! No wonder this team won the series last year.

[CrimsonCowboy]

Are you freaking kidding me??????? Another fluke hit!

[USMA76]

How many lucky hits is Boston going to get?

[CyYoung31]

Un****ingbelievable.

[tvsportscaster]

How much more freakin lucky can these damn buttholes get in one inning.

[bravesnumberone]

WTF? Are you ****ing kidding me?

[NinersSBChamps]

Call them lucky or whatever. If the Braves don't blow a bases loaded chance with no outs we aren't trailing right now.

[UNCBlue012]

Freaking stupid Red Sox. They've gotten lucky two days in a row now. I'll be so mad if we don't score again. lol

[UNCBlue012]

Call them lucky or whatever. If the Braves don't blow a bases loaded chance with no outs we aren't trailing right now.
Wasn't home, what happened?

[Garmel]

I've never seen bull**** like this in my life.

[stpeteirish]

lots of lucky hits this inning

[CrimsonCowboy]

I usually don't crow about luck, but the Red Sox have had the luckiest dad gum inning I have ever seen one team have in a long time.

[graffy]

Freaking stupid Red Sox. They've gotten lucky two days in a row now. I'll be so mad if we don't score again. lol

I will be shocked if the Braves score again tonight.

The Thanks button is missing for some reasons, so I will just edit my +1 on this.

[NYCBrave]

Does anyone actually have any faith the Braves are going to step up and win this thing? It just feels like the usual ho hum. This is excruciating to watch

[NinersSBChamps]

Wasn't home, what happened?

Bases loaded with zero outs. Harang is up and should not be swinging the bat. Naturally he hits into a double play and the Jason grounds out to second base.

[bravesnumberone]

That was completely on Avilan. You have to get to that ball. It was not hit very hard at all.

[jsebe10]

Time for the Carolina Gamecocksucker's LUCKNESS.

[rico43]

My one and only thought about this game is that good things happen WHEN YOU PUT THE BALL IN PLAY.

Fire Greg Walker.

[UNCBlue012]

That'll be game right there. Team couldn't even hold a lead. This is insane.

[bravesnumberone]

Couple of things don't go our way, and we completely crumble.

[NinersSBChamps]

Losers of 10 straight games. Red Sox came down to Atlanta and shoved their **** down the throats of the Braves.

[USMA76]

6-3 and this one's over

[CrimsonCowboy]

Avilian is not the same pitcher he was last year.

[holden]

Disaster.

[Russ2dollas]

dink and dunk and dunce

[Dalyn]

Only one reason Avilan is still in the game for that: Fredi. :facepalm:

[NinersSBChamps]

That was completely on Avilan. You have to get to that ball. It was not hit very hard at all.

I agree. But I have never had a broken bat bearing down at me on the mound.

[CyYoung31]

**** the Red Sox. **** their fans.

[Tapate50]

Pitching has had some real meltdowns the passed two nights.

[bravesnumberone]

Does anyone actually have any faith the Braves are going to step up and win this thing? It just feels like the usual ho hum. This is excruciating to watch

No they're playing scared. Boston had been playing awful and was due to come around, but this is ridiculous.

[jsebe10]

Couple of things don't go our way, and we completely crumble.

Negative. Avilan crumbles. Bradley Jr hits .170 vs lefties and he gets a cookie to hit

[CrimsonCowboy]

Also, while the Braves are away, I hope the Turner Field crew have plenty of Lysol to clean up after those stinkin' Sawx fans.

[UNCBlue012]

It's sad, but I expected this. I expected them to come out and get beat in some fashion. These bloops are hard to defend. I don't know what they could even do... the Sox won the WS last year, but they're an awful team right now. I mean awful.

[Tapate50]

Only one reason Avilan is still in the game for that: Fredi. :facepalm:

Yeah, I'd have had a quick hook after the way we lost yesterday

[tvsportscaster]

The Red Sox are going to get on one of those rolls, and the Braves are looking squarely at a sweep now in Boston. What a disastrous series this has turned out to be.

[bravesnumberone]

Also, while the Braves are away, I hope the Turner Field crew have plenty of Lysol to clean up after those stinkin' Sawx fans.

At least they've been loud. It's embarrassing that we've been cheered out of our own park.

[drewdat]

Staggering levels of dumb****tery in this one. Hope all the Red Sox fans in attendance were wearing safety suits.

[Tapate50]

At least they've been loud. It's embarrassing that we've been cheered out of our own park.
Ga St feels like that every Saturday in the Dome

[jsebe10]

At least they've been loud. It's embarrassing that we've been cheered out of our own park.

Yea bc they bought up all the damn tickets

[CrimsonCowboy]

I think we know where the Braves need to improve the team at the trade deadline.

[UNCBlue012]

I understood Varvaro there, but I don't understand why we didn't use Wood after that. Maybe it's because he pitched last night, but he should of been used in a situation that big. I don't care what the freaking flowchart says. I just can't believe the Red Sox have gotten so luck. Absolutely awful pitching on both parts, lots of walks, we don't capitalize. It's dumb baseball.

[NinersSBChamps]

At least we got Brock Holt out twice in the same inning. I bet nobody else can say that!

[holden]

We've just killed our selves this game.

[CrimsonCowboy]

Yea bc they bought up all the damn tickets

Hopefully when the team moves to Cobb, closer to where most of the fans live, this won't be as much a problem.

[USMA76]

Well that inning was un@#$%ing believable.

[NinersSBChamps]

I think we know where the Braves need to improve the team at the trade deadline.

Manager, 2B, and CF.

[zitothebrave]

Have at least 3 shots to get back in this. Need to do some work next inning.

[bravesnumberone]

And we'll probably go 9 up and 9 down.

Our offense: "We've already scored 3, what else are we supposed to do?"

[jpack1]

Whatever "it" is, this team doesn't have it. Leader, guts, good players. I don't know but we are missing something that is keeping us down.

[tvsportscaster]

You guys putting this crap on Avilan is ridiculous, did you even watch the inning. The Red Sox got lucky hit after lucky hit and the only hard hit ball was by Bradley. To put that inning on any of the pitchers is just purely ridiculous. Boston just had a freakin four leaf clover up their ass.

[jsebe10]

Hopefully when the team moves to Cobb, closer to where most of the fans live, this won't be as much a problem.

Lol but it's literally a 15 min drive distance. If that's what's keeping "fans" away, then they need to keep their asses at the house

[bravesnumberone]

Manager, 2B, and CF.

And a lefty reliever that can get lefties out, not serve up BP to sub .200 lefty hitters.

[CrimsonCowboy]

Manager, 2B, and CF.

I was thinking more like the bullpen.

[CrimsonCowboy]

Lol but it's literally a 15 min drive distance. If that's what's keeping "fans" away, then they need to keep their asses at the house

Apparently, many of them don't want to go to Turner Field. Based on what I understand, I think I get some of the reasoning.

Disclaimer: Non-Atlanta resident.

[jsebe10]

No reason why we shouldn't jump on this goober...he is not that good

[UNCBlue012]

I hate to be that guy, but they're lucky. They were last year. I pulled for them, I have nothing against them, but it's been a lot of luck.

[Tapate50]

I was thinking more like the bullpen.

Shae Simmons needs a promotion to AAA in the next week, then see how he is looking at the ASB

[bravesnumberone]

Yea bc they bought up all the damn tickets

There are plenty of empty seats.

[bravesnumberone]

Way to step up Heyward. Sit the **** down.

[Tapate50]

Way to step up Heyward. Sit the **** down.

After his big fly, hasn't gotten the ball out of the IF

[jsebe10]

Upton late on that 88 MPH fastball

[NinersSBChamps]

No reason why we shouldn't jump on this goober...he is not that good

Neither is the Braves offense.

[bravesnumberone]

What the hell is it going to take to get this team to start turning on fastballs below 90 mph?

[CrimsonCowboy]

After the Sean Lee news, this has not been a good day for me as a fan.

[jsebe10]

Great. Now we are in the Asian portion of their bullpen

[stpeteirish]

I was thinking more like the bullpen.

we use the wrong guys. If Hale and Wood aren't starters they should be our set up men. Avilan and Carpenter are't the guys they were last year.

[NinersSBChamps]

THIS. Praise Jesus someone said this. How the heck are those two guys not at used in more important roles. Alex Wood should be our 7th or 8th inning guy at least. The guy is absolutely dirty. I completely trust him.

[Tapate50]

we use the wrong guys. If Hale and Wood aren't starters they should be our set up men. Avilan and Carpenter are't the guys they were last year.

Carpenter has been solid.

[UNCBlue012]

Also, Justin Upton is a freaking monster.

[Tapate50]

Also, Justin Upton is a freaking monster.

Trade bait we all hope

[Dalyn]

Great. Now we are in the Asian portion of their bullpen

At least we can count on getting the runs.

[Dalyn]

Trade bait we all hope

Thanks Chris. I don't understand this team. Just hit, get guys in. You just gave up 3 runs, you get the lineup moving and you just stop.

At least we can count on getting the runs.

Now Simmons is out of the game. Awesome. This team man.

Extending Chris Johnson was probably the worst move of a wrens tenure. Guy is just not a good player and a non tender candidate in a year. Just not a good player at all.

[jsebe10]

Does anyone know the last time we scored a run from the 7th inning on?

Have you not seen the contracts Uggla and BJ have?

[NinersSBChamps]

Huh

He is fore skinning...

C'mon what about BJ and Uggla.

[jpack1]

CJ is a one tool guy who if he doesn't hit .300 he doesn't hit for power, doesn't defend well. What is he good at? Seriously

[jsebe10]

Tonight.

Are you suggesting a comeback!?! I hope so but if Andrew Miller is pitching the. 8th, you maybe dissapointed.

[holden]

If we lose this game, it'll be because our defense was terribad.

[stpeteirish]

Hale has not given up a run since he went to the bullpen. I suggest he be used in higher leverage situations.

[jpack1]

But there was absolutely no need to extend CJ. Just go year to year. That was the dumbest part. BJ was so terrible FA sign but FA is a gamble that doesn't pay often anyway. No need at all to extend that guy.

[bravesnumberone]

Or because our offense blew chances at multiple runs. Not all uncommon though.

He can hit and his defense isn't that bad.

Do you know how hard it is to hit a baseball at the professional level??

Going to try ESPN and see if the Braves luck can change.

Its true, for a Braves team this is a bad defensive team. Wren has loaded us up with sluggers who are bad in the field. And then there's Laird who is bad at everything. His throw to 2nd on Bradley's hit was a piece of work.

Someone plz explain this process to him. My head hurt.

they've been doing a good job of 2nd guessing Fredi, surprised you guys aren't happy with them.

[jcc03004]

Well when is Jordan supposed to be back and we gotta pray that venters comes back and is good

[CrimsonCowboy]

Gotta love Chip's impression of his father and grandfather.

No, we bought out his arbitration years, no idea why we'd bother.
