Looks like the FDA has finally given approval for the Braves to move above .500.

In the immortal words of Lee Corso, "not so fast, my friend."

I'll believe it when I see it.

god damn. lmao

 

[bravesnumberone]

Five straight walks to go with the HBP. Wtf

 

[thewupk]

of course that's an out. lol

I'll accept it, and I won't even complain

 

[Tapate50]

Yes

 

[MadduxFanII]

Approximately 900 minutes of terrible baseball from the Cardinals in the 8th inning, and then Sosa makes an amazing play to rob Freeman of extra bases.

That’s what happens when you’re allowed to have your 2B play a foot in front of the RF

 

[bravesnumberone]

Well if we **** this one up I think we can call it a year.

 

[USMA76]

Ironic that we score four runs without the benefit of a hit then Freddie rips a pitch with the bases loaded and it finds the second baseman's glove playing in a shift in right field.

 

[drewdat]

Nobody covered home on that WP ball 4? But I guess it was Vogt running with Freddie coming up to bat.

 

[thewupk]

What a way to come back the last two nights considering how we have played in those situations most of the year.

 

[USMA76]

Don't know if there are many tougher defensive plays than the one Ozzie just made going over the shoulder.

 

[msstate7]

So is it the spin rate that allows Rodriguez to just pour fastballs?

I think part of it is the luxury of a four run lead. Here it is, see what you can do with it.

That's all he ever does though

You remember when we faced him in that series in Atl? He four-seamed our ass to death.

I remember it well. It made me so mad, but now I see it's just hard to hit
