BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Your Wood jokes are weak.

[jpx7]

Your Wood jokes are weak.

I'll call them flaccid.

[stpeteirish]

Today's version of the Mets:

CF Lagares
2b Murphy
RF Byrd
LF Brown
1B Satin
SS Turner
#b Flores
C Buck
P NIese

I'll call them flaccid.

I don't want to give him the satisfaction of a penis joke. Since he's almost single-handedly ruined what was once a great institution of borderline jokes. Maybe in the end it was better when Wood was a reliever. His performances were always good and he was in and out in a hurry so we didn't get flooded with bad jokes. Maybe the opposite is true with bad jokes than it is with bad whiskey, it's wise to consume bad jokes in only small quantities.

I still blame SAV, cause when in doubt, blame it on someone else.

with bad whiskey

Is there really such a thing?!

[bravesnumberone]

Can we just beat the damn Mets already? Let's try not to have a losing record vs. them. They're still the Mets.

Someone has never endulged themselves in the wonders of Black Velvet.

Though I'll admit because of the minimum whiskey requirements. Bad Whiskey is not as gut wrenching as bad gin, vodka, or tequila.

[Braves1976]

I would've started Gosselin with a lefty on the mound.

Every year there's always one 'bad' team that the Braves just cannot beat. Used to be the Marlins all the time. Then it was the Nationals before they became the 'annointed ones' in 2012. Now, the Mets aren't as terrible as years past (blast their high draft picks on pitchers...) but on paper, Braves should win but just don't this year.

Oh, agreed. But they're still the Mets. Forever the red-headed stepchildren.

Don't go off half-cocked.

[Nerfherders]

I'm pretty sure they are the only other team in the NL East with a winning record in the last 2 months. So yeah this has been much improved team over the course of the season.

[NinersSBChamps]

Fredi day game lineup today. Naturally they probably score 8 runs.

[Hawk]

Three nasty pitches to the start the game, and a K-L.

I was just thinking how bad this line up is. I really hate seeing Janish out there. Yes he has a great glove but he is worse than Rey Ordonez with the bat.

[Hawk]

Wow, didn't realize how solid of a year Marlon Byrd is having.

[Braves1976]

Fredi must love it though because it sets up putting Uggla back in without questions. Now even many who don't like seeing Uggla in there are saying "Hurry back Uggla!"

[Braves1976]

Wow, didn't realize how solid of a year Marlon Byrd is having.

Personally, I've always liked Byrd. Well, I did before his PED suspension anyway. I was a bit disappointed in him after that. But he's someone I actually would've given a shot myself based on his past track record. He's always been a pretty solid defender and not a bad bat. So I'd picked him up for a platoon in the outfield or 4th outfield duties at the very least. I'd rather have him than BJ Upton...

Johnson has not hit the ball hard in a while. THe regression is happening. Hopefully it won't be too much of one.
