Atlanta 10, Miami Marlins of Miami 9. The Marlins are never a big draw and with the remains of Tropical Storm Fay pushing through the metro area, there weren’t many folks motivated to make it out to the ballgame. The official attendance last night was around 17,000, but I’d be surprised if half that many [...]
Atlanta 11, San Francisco 5. It was a beautiful night for baseball at the Ted last night, something you don’t expect this time of year. I’ll let you decide whether I’m talking about the weather or the 2008 Braves. It looked like we hanging this one up before it started with Bobby sitting the entire [...]
Of all the fans in baseball, the Cubs have the absolute worst. You may accuse me of being a sore loser after an ugly doubleheader today, but the truth is, I have been professing this since the 2003 division series. Sure, fans in New York and Philly get a bad rap, but people from New [...]
109 games too late, the Braves finally closed the door on our long Corky nightmare. I can’t imagine that he won’t clear waivers. I also can’t imagine why the Braves would want to keep him in any capacity. Of course, I couldn’t fathom why they’d keep the Corkster over Brayan Pena way back when, so [...]
Washington: Like a Kajillion, Atlanta: Significantly Less. (Okay, fine. 15-6.) Folks, today was the first time that I can remember actually leaving a game before the final out. Yogi Berraisms aside, this one was over.
So we lost two out of three to the team with the worst record in baseball going into the series. This [...]
Washington 8, Atlanta 2. This was the kind of loss we’ve come to expect from the Braves this year. Nothing doing on the offense once runners get on base.
John Lannan is apparently only a competent pitcher against the Braves. Against the Braves, he excels.
Ryan Langerhans had more hits tonight than his entire 2007 tour with [...]
Atlanta 7, Washington 6. Wow, was that an ugly game. If we were playing a team that actually cared about winning instead of the former-Brave-AAAA-All-Stars we could have easily lost that one.
Here’s a list of Atlanta Braves castoffs on the Nationals’ roster right now:
Ryan Langerhans
Pete Orr
Odalis Perez
Johnny Estrada
Willie “Caught Stealing” Harris, the second best player [...]
Atlanta 7, Houston 6 (17 fucking innings). Of the official crowd of 24,000 this afternoon, maybe two thirds waited out the two hour rain delay before this game started. Plenty of people left after Kyle Davies Charlie Morton gave up a grand slam that gave the Astros a 5-1 lead. And as each inning of [...]
So I’m a little bit behind after early bedtimes and early rising the last couple of days for my second Peachtree Road Race and other Patriotic Hat Day festivities. A lot has been going on with the Braves in the meantime.
On Francoeur
I salute Bobby Cox and Frank Wren for their decision to send Francoeur down [...]
Tuesday: Philadelphia 8, Atlanta 3. Wednesday: Philadelphia 7, Atlanta 3. The Braves have gone 2-6 over their last 8 games, losing the first two to the Phillies at a point when we could have pulled back within striking distance. The only thing worse tonight than the game itself was being completely surrounded by shrill, pre-teen [...]
