    Whatever it takes to get Fredi fired I guess (as much as I hate to see anyone get fired).

    I hope that since we will be eliminated today that I wake up tomorrow turn on the TV and FG is gone.....or I maybe still dreaming if that happens.

    Unbelievable that we probably won't even finish above .500 this year, and that the most wins we could finish with is 83.

    Nothing surprises me with Fredi managing in Sept., though I agree that is bad as you note. The team has clearly quit on him so if we bring him back look for more of the same next Sept.

    Wow....wow....wow....Joe Simpson just said in the post game that the FG should be considered for Manager of the year. Keep saying can't make hitters hit....however FG is the one that kept BJ in the lead off spot that is on him

    Hm. Had to think about that one for a while but I think my vote would have to go to any other manager.

    So this month, we've gone from having a shot at the top wild card spot to being eliminated completely prior to the final week of the season.

    Got swept at home by the Mets. Finished 9-10 against them for the year. Finished 9-10 agains the Marlins, too. Will probably finish 9-10 against the Phillies when they sweep us next week.

    Some passages from DOB's gamer.

    The Mets completed a sweep of the freefalling Braves with a 10-2 rout Sunday at Turner Field, in a game that officially eliminated the Braves from playoff contention and was a microcosm of the failings of manager Fredi Gonzalez’s team this season and particularly in September.

    There were 10 strikeouts in the first five innings against Mets pitcher Jacob deGrom, by a Braves team that’s struck out more than any other National League team except the youthful Marlins.
    There were only four hits and no homers for the Braves, who entered Sunday with a majors-worst .207 batting average and only six homers in September. They produced five hits or fewer for the eighth time in 18 games in the month.

    There was Andrelton Simmons grounding into an inning-ending double play with two on in the sixth inning, the 24th time he’s grounded into a double play, second-most in the NL. (The Braves’ Chris Johnson is third with 22 double plays grounded into.)


    There was the Braves going 1-for-7 with runners in scoring position, lowering their average another tick to .238 with runners in scoring position, fourth-worst in the majors.
    And there were a meager two runs scored by the Braves, marking the 60th time in 155 games they have mustered two or fewer runs. They fell to 8-52 in those games.
    General manager Frank Wren, who has come under considerable fire for assembling this dysfunctional offense, watched stoicly from his suite above the field behind home plate. Some familiar with the situation believe Wren is more likely to be fired than manager Fredi Gonzalez, though neither appears to have much job security at this point.


    The Braves have totaled 15 runs and one home run during their 1-8 collapse from playoff contention, an almost incomprehensibly bad stretch that began with being swept in three games at Texas by a Rangers team with the worst record in baseball. Atlanta has lost 11 of 13 games and scored two runs or fewer in all but four of those 13 games.

    Braves starters lead the majors with 107 quality starts, and Santana had been 7-1 with a 2.91 ERA in nine home starts going back to July 4, with 58 strikeouts and 18 walks in 58 2/3 innings. If he or any other Braves starter is showing any signs of pitching with the added pressure of consistently poor offensive support, not a soul who’s watched the Braves this season would blame him.

    The Mets got a run after a leadoff hit in each of the first two innings, then scored three in the fourth to push the lead to 5-0. After a one-out walk by Curtis Granderson in the fourth, Santana was stung by this three-batter sequence: Kirk Niuewenhuis double, Anthony Recker sacrifice fly (and terrible throw by center fielder B.J. Upton), and Ruben Tejada home run.

    I guess I am the only one not numbed by this outcome. It has been coming since May. I really thought it would take a major injury for this to happen but it didn't and that is sad.

    Every disgusting pathetic loss is numbing. Whether we are in contention or not, soon we have no games to pine over. Gonna be a long winter.

    I personally hate the sad demise of this season, whether it's May, or now.

    really nothing to gain from firing people before the end of the season but there better be a move on the first day of the post season.

    Its ludicrious to keep Fredi. You're just pissing away another year. The guys who quit on him are going to be sorry next year when they find out you can't pick and chose who you get to play for and when to give a damn.

    A new front office is going to run the guys who won't work to improve their weaknesses out of town in a crowded freight train.
