You're getting as bad as thethe now.

Too much optimism?

 

[yeezus]

Wow Kimbrel didn't get a save all series. Should we be worried?

 

[CyYoung31]

Alfonseca was cheating using an extra digit.

I remember that one year we signed him and he was atrocious during spring training, but once the season started he was quite good. Never trust spring stats.

And he had been pretty terrible the year before that, so naturally everyone just assumed he was going to stink up the joint.

 

[CyYoung31]

Too much optimism?

Something-ism.

 

[Gary82]

11 1/2 games ahead in the NL East. Damn, this is like the good ole days.

 

[Gary82]

And he had been pretty terrible the year before that, so naturally everyone just assumed he was going to stink up the joint.

Yeah, I was quite pissed that he made the team. Oops.

 

[jpx7]

Something-ism.

I'll take that as a compliment — though in ten minutes I'll hate you for it.

MLB - Johnson Nears Braves Record
Braves 3B Chris Johnson recorded his seventh straight multi-hit game on Thursday against Colorado. Johnson is now one game shy of the Braves franchise record for consecutive multi-hit games. Three players in club history have recorded eight straight multi-hit games - Hank Aaron in 1959, George Sisler in 1928 and Walter Barbare in 1921.

MULTI HITS

MULTI HITS

Bill Shanks must be creaming himself. A white dude AND multi-hit games.

 

[CyYoung31]

Going along with my normal change opinions on a whim persona..

I know think the Braves are the best team in baseball.

Kiss of death.

 

[thethe]

Kiss of death.

I don't really mean that. I think you are the best team in baseball.

 

[Julio3000]

If a bear falls in the field, and everyone's around, is it still a trap?

If the bear is in left field, it's probably a tarp.

edit: ****, the tarp is in right field, isn't it?

 

[CyYoung31]

I don't really mean that. I think you are the best team in baseball.

Warm feelings.

 

[Julio3000]

Chip Caray: "It's a blowout at Turner Field."

Subtle, Chip. Very subtle.

He ref'd the snow game in Colorado, too. Dude's got a one-track mind.

 

[Gary82]

It blows my mind that the Braves won 7 games in a row at the same time as the Cardinals lost 7 in a row.

 

[The Tariff King]

Unbelievable. Just less than a week ago Julio had just broken 300 thanks. At 400 now.

 

[Julio3000]

Who do we blame for Heyward not leading off before now?

Duh. Heyward.

 

[Dalyn]

It blows my mind that the Braves won 7 games in a row at the same time as the Cardinals lost 7 in a row.

And Johnson had at least two hits in every game.

 

[thethe]

Unbelievable. Just less than a week ago Julio had just broken 300 thanks. At 400 now.

Do you want me to thank you some more?

 

[tvsportscaster]

This is the most fun I've had in a long time as a Brave fan. What the Braves did on this homestand was incredible. I don't care who you play, you run the table in 7 games on a homestand and you've done something, and oh yeah, good luck tomorrow night to Ethan Martin, you will need it.
