Atlanta 3, Arizona 1. There are few plays in all of sports more exciting that the walk-off home run. Today Braves fans were treated to just such an occurence as Jeff Francoeur knocked one over the left field fence in the bottom of the ninth to win today’s game.
Jorge Campillo matched up against Randy Johnson. [...]
Arizona 11, Atlanta 1. On the mound today the Diamondbacks had Doug Davis, an inspirational story waiting to happen in his first return since losing his thyroid to cancer. (After Davis, Jon Lester, et. al., baseball might be adding cancer to the list of PEDs.)
The home team countered with Jo-Jo Reyes. Jo-Jo Reyes took the [...]
Atlanta 4, New York Mets 2. Sweep! It’s waaay too early to be ruling anybody in or out at this point, but it’s pretty obvious who’s hot and who’s not right now in the NL East. You know Willie Randolph is not going to want to answer that phone tonight.
The Mets fans finally had something [...]
Atlanta 11, New York Mets 4. Among rumors swirling around that another sweep by the Braves might be the end of Willie Randolph’s tenure in Queens, the Braves absolutely crushed the hapless Metropolitans tonight. It was a great day for a great win as Bobby Cox and I were both celebrating our birthdays. It was [...]
Atlanta 6, New York Mets 2. Game 2. After completing our sweep of the Mets from the first series of the season in the first game, we completed our sweep of the Mets in the doubleheader in the second game. Quick hits from the nightcap:
The game didn’t start until almost 9pm due to a rain [...]
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 [...]
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 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 [...]
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 [...]
