So August is, in fact, the cruelest month.

When it rains it pours, so much for this being our year.

I really hate the baseball gods.

The hits just keep on coming.....

Well, the division title will be fun. Nice to throw another one of those on the railing.

I noted that also in the the game thread. I was hoping it was that he was just tired. Oh well.

That was a fun career while it lasted....

Really need to find an OF and a SP in the next week.

Yeah, if he has to have surgery again he's all but finished.

I knew there was something wrong with him. That really sucks. Braves just can't catch a break even when they have a good team.

 

[ChapelHillMatt]

Our Braves are falling apart.

 

[BoneThrower]

Damn, somebody needs to sacrifice a live chicken to the baseball Gods before anybody else gets taken down....

 

[thethe]

I feel ilke I will never see another world series winner again. Sucks so much.

I'm more worried about Beachy for our future than I am for the playoffs.

For the playoffs you need 3 good pitchers. I'm not sure he'd be in the top 3. We know it's Minor and Tehran. but who is 3? Maybe it's Wood or Medlen over Beachy.

Stinks....not on the level of Heyward for our chances this year IMO. Huge blow b/c Beachy is a big part of our future. But the 15 game lead makes this year's loss not as big a deal.

 

[thethe]

Agreed...Beachy was awesome for us before he got hurt. Our rotation next year had the potential to be the best in baseball.

As much as it sucks or seems "heartless" if he needs TJS again, you can forget about any future. He will be done

Odds are certainly not in his favor.

With the loss of velocity, it could be a shoulder problem too. Either way his career is probably over if it's anything serious. Feel terrible for him.
