On Booing
So, I understand this tirade, but I gotta say it doesn’t all add up. Do we really need to turn into Mets fans to turn it around for the Braves? Are nasty editorials in the paper going to spark clutch hitting? They’re not really working for Andruw in L.A. The critical journalism on the [...]
This weekend’s series with the Athletics should go to show you why that o**-r** g*** stat is pretty much completely meaningless. On Friday we won a classic o**-r** g***, playing it close the whole way. But on Saturday we were dominated by the A’s, only able to claw back within o** by scoring 3 in [...]
Here’s the story on the elephant on the Oakland Athletic’s jersey:
After New York Giants’ manager John McGraw told reporters that Philadelphia manufacturer Benjamin Shibe, who owned the controlling interest in the new team, had a “white elephant on his hands,” [Connie] Mack defiantly adopted the white elephant as the team mascot, and presented McGraw with [...]
Atlanta 3, Oakland 2. In an anti-climactic roster move, Bobby decided to sit Mark Kotsay in favor of Gregor Blanco, seemingly just to screw up my story about Kotsay . Or maybe to screw with the folks who decided to put Kotsay on the cover of the Game Day for the series.
It was a cold [...]
In a shocking (SHOCKING) turn of events, Phillies’ ace (and player most likely to parlay their name into a soap opera gig) Cole Hamels outdueled Richmond Braves’ ace The Chuck James Experiment. Meanwhile, in Omaha, one Hiram Kyle Davies was quoted as saying, “Gawd, I could do better than THAT. Please tell me Dayton Moore [...]
The radio folks were talking about this the other day, the seeming lack of success the Braves have been having in the new, blue alternate road uniform. Of course, the lack of success they’ve been having on the road, period, may have something to do with that. Still, with very little positive to talk about [...]
The Braves moved Yunel Escobar into the leadoff spot tonight and put smoking hot Mark Kotsay in the number two spot. And, while the move surely made the blogosphere happy, it didn’t end up changing our fortunes in road games or one-run games or one-run games on the road. I wholeheartedly support the move and [...]
In the first three games of the series in Pittsburgh, the Braves managed to score 4, combined, then busted out for 8 runs in game four. Mark Teixeira went down with back pains in the first game. Tim Hudson did the stopper thing in the second game. Still, our 10-2 win in Washington and our [...]
After catching only the first two and two-thirds at lunch time, I was blown away to discover that we had pulled out a win. Not that we were in an irreparable hole in terms of runs, but the games in which your starter comes out way early due to freak injuries (manboob, anyone?) are just [...]
Atlanta 5, San Diego 2. Your trusty blogger resumed his vigil tonight after a harrowing bout with disease.
Talking about composure, Tim Hudson definitely lost his in the second after getting called for a balk. It didn’t look like a balk from 400 feet away, definitely looked like he was throwing to third. The video replay [...]
