So much for aspiring for the sweep. With yesterday's embarrassing loss to the worst team in baseball, and the (fortunate) split in Philadelphia, the Atlanta Braves are clinging to a paltry 0.5 game lead in the NL East's first place position.
The good news is that if there was ever anyone up to the task to stop the losing, it's Tim Hudson. Nine times this year, Huddy's has taken the hill after a Braves loss, and the team has gone 7-2 in those scenarios. Furthermore, Huddy's pretty much had his way with the Pirates throughout his career, with 251 Buc-hitters stepping to the plate and hitting a woeful .214/.283/.326 and drawing only 14 unintentional walks against him. It gets even better in Pittsburgh, with Huddy's numbers jumping to a .186/.248/.232 clip of dominance in their house.
What I'd really like to see today is some sort of ridiculous hot streak beginning for the Braves, much like last year, but instead of it being Javier Vazquez, I'd really love to see Tim Hudson pitch some (real) complete games, starting tonight. No Braves pitcher this year has thrown a (real, 9.0IP) complete game this year. It would be great to see Huddy stop that trend tonight, of all times.
This is also the second day in a row that our opposing pitcher's profile picture is shown wearing the hat of another team, as for some people were shown Brian Burres wearing a Toronto Blue Jays hat yesterday.

Hopefully Braves will figure out Pirates pitches tonight and we will get a lot of runs, although i prefer score 5 runs tonight and 5 tomorrow instead 15 tonight and 2 tomorrow.
Really, i´m not afraid tonight because of the RHP, but tomorrow it`s a LHP

OT:
on the front page of yahoo-mlb:
“Snap! Padres skein ends. Todd Hundley’s bat helped end a 10-game losing streak.
Tim Brown story .”
If that’s not a typo screw what Huddy does tonight Hundley is comeback player of the year.
15ks - September 7, 2010
What do you guys think about this? is Heyward’s rookie year actually better than Hank’s?
Joseph_C - September 7, 2010
OK, so I missed the weekend's games to be with my family.
However, on the days where I have posted a picture of my new puppy, we have won (all three of them – who cares about small sample size? Not I.).
Therefore, here is a picture of my young Frankie. She will bring us the WINZ.

jesus
it seems like every single game the last two series that someone gets what looks like a great hit, it is caught
forgotten_glory - September 7, 2010
especially for Prado
he seems to be hitting into some bad luck recently
ByrneSupremacy - September 7, 2010
That's probably the main reason this is the "year of the pitcher"
GMs actually care about defense.
VivaLosBravos - September 7, 2010
McCann is due.
VivaLosBravos - September 7, 2010
the whole damn team is due
nuftjedi - September 7, 2010
now he's even more due
VivaLosBravos - September 7, 2010
you want a victory?!
BravesRaleigh - September 7, 2010
Homers are good, but base hits can score too.
I sometimes think we’re trying to hit homers too much.
NCChopper - September 7, 2010
except we can only manage two singles in a row
and then strand 2 or 3 guys.
nuftjedi - September 7, 2010
Brian, there’s a case of butter brickle ice cream in it for you if you get a hit. Just bear this in mind.
TheLetter2 - September 7, 2010
is that an actual flavor?
VivaLosBravos - September 7, 2010
Yeah, but I confess I had to look it up. I pretty much eat only vanilla (party animal that I am). Butter brickle is a sort of toffee-flavored ice cream.
TheLetter2 - September 7, 2010
makes me think of bricks
which are not the most appetizing of items
VivaLosBravos - September 7, 2010
Actually, that’s what I think of too. That’s why i stick with plain ol’ vanilla. No surprises.

Ivan the Great - September 7, 2010
2 baserunning outs in 2 innings
NCChopper - September 7, 2010
he looked safe on the replay but
still not a smart idea
lingsched - September 7, 2010
I hate outs on the bases
but the last out at second isn’t the worst risk.
VivaLosBravos - September 7, 2010
Why is it not smart?!?!
If he had been safe there would’ve been a runner in scoring position and a base hit would’ve scored a run.
Jay212033 - September 7, 2010
yea
i can’t argue too much with the decision…u r forcing tabata to make a perfect throw…which he did…

BeatTehMets - September 7, 2010
That’s 2 outs they didn’t have to pitch for.
Can we stop giving them away now?

We're just sucking now
so we don’t in the playoffs.

If only the Braves had a stadium that beautiful. Turner Field seems rather boring to me.
BravesFan2010 - September 7, 2010
Then again Atlanta isn't known for it's great sporting venues. The Georgia Dome isn't exactly one of the best NFL stadiums.
BravesFan2010 - September 7, 2010

forgotten_glory - September 7, 2010
Eh, it's ok. Most people wouldn't consider Turner Field one of the best stadiums in baseball. Of course most Braves fans would, but they are biased.

JKowalek - September 7, 2010

bpk228480 - September 7, 2010
He’s an MVP and a WINNAR.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 7, 2010
tough to get to 2B on a CHOPPAH
JKowalek - September 7, 2010
Lets go Rick
Bob Mackie - September 7, 2010
wow we didn't get thrown out advancing
nuftjedi - September 7, 2010
playing right into our hands….lets go huddy
bpk228480 - September 7, 2010
LOL
nuftjedi - September 7, 2010
haha
walking a guy that’s 0-7 with 7 k’s on the roadtrip and they’re gonna IBB him. Make them pay Huddy. You gotta do it all yourself tonight!
leedawg - September 7, 2010
that’s fine…i have more faith in huddy than ankiel to be honest
forgotten_glory - September 7, 2010
Ankiel with the IBB
NCChopper - September 7, 2010
IBB'ing Ankiel to pitch to Hudson.....ROFL
Little do they know, Hudson is the better hitter.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 7, 2010
actually
Ankiel is batting .001 higher than Huddy
leedawg - September 7, 2010
That
is not at all encouraging.
VivaLosBravos - September 7, 2010
Hudson has more POWAH….. :-p
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 7, 2010
Little does he know
of the power of Huddy’s bat
VivaLosBravos - September 7, 2010
ROFL
waling rick to get to huddy?
Slee - September 7, 2010
heh
VivaLosBravos - September 7, 2010
Huddy going to take matters into his own hands
nuftjedi - September 7, 2010
ummm
thanks for clearing the pitcher for us?
BravesRaleigh - September 7, 2010
worst case scenario
Infante leads off
VivaLosBravos - September 7, 2010
just signed on to see that we are being blanked by a crappy pitcher again...
SouthernPanther - September 7, 2010
This is a crappy pitcher ? Doesn't seem that way to me.
BravesFan2010 - September 7, 2010
that's because he's pitching against us
they all look like Cy Young winners
nuftjedi - September 7, 2010
really?
5.01 ERA is a stud!
Kobe:The Legend - September 7, 2010
Hudson failed us :(
Oh well, top of the order next inning….
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 7, 2010
yea
once we get past the #5 spot in the lineup today i’m not too confident honestly :-/
forgotten_glory - September 7, 2010
Another popup...
Bob Mackie - September 7, 2010
At least he put the ball in play.
king of games - September 7, 2010
OT:
Is anyone else extremely upset Party Down was cancelled by Starz?
bpk228480 - September 7, 2010
No clue what that is….
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 7, 2010
Yup.
king of games - September 7, 2010

bpk228480 - September 7, 2010
*marks for off topic*
BeatTehMets - September 7, 2010
14 innings and 1 run…..
This will not be enough when we play Cards, Nats, Mets and Phils
NCChopper - September 7, 2010
It might be enough against the Mets….
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 7, 2010
It’s not really enough for the Pirates, either.
Ivan the Great - September 7, 2010
or Pirates
most likely. Breaks will come though. And decent hitting.
VivaLosBravos - September 7, 2010
:(
Cayla - September 7, 2010

VivaLosBravos - September 7, 2010
No no no?
BeatTehMets - September 7, 2010
that should have been an out

BeatTehMets - September 7, 2010
Haha
I meant BeatTehMets earlier in the thread
Bob Mackie - September 7, 2010

TonyAlmeyda - September 7, 2010

Kobe:The Legend - September 7, 2010
the pitcher with the highest GB ratio in the league with a no-no? it was not gonna happen anyway.
Slee - September 7, 2010

leedawg - September 7, 2010

VivaLosBravos - September 7, 2010
Who else hates our offense?
SuperHeyward - September 7, 2010
we'll hit soon
not a personnel problem
VivaLosBravos - September 7, 2010
At least our offense is better than the Padres.
BravesFan2010 - September 7, 2010
of all the times u could say that...
its when they won yesterday..haha
forgotten_glory - September 7, 2010
I mean really?!?!

bpk228480 - September 7, 2010

forgotten_glory - September 7, 2010
oh come on
he’d only miss it with the game on the line
VivaLosBravos - September 7, 2010

Braves not hitting that baseball.
VivaLosBravos - September 7, 2010

VivaLosBravos - September 7, 2010
Then you are clearly not the Braves.
VivaLosBravos - September 7, 2010
lol
taney71 - September 7, 2010
Well done.
Now let’s score.
Cayla - September 7, 2010
56 pitches for Huddy through 5
73 for McDonald
leedawg - September 7, 2010
its depressing that we have to keep track of McDonalds pitches
secondfh - September 7, 2010
lets go top of lineup
runs please
bpk228480 - September 7, 2010
or singular
it’s whatever
VivaLosBravos - September 7, 2010
yea I'm not picky
bpk228480 - September 7, 2010
Omar, I know you've gotten on the first two times,
but we need you to do it again.

bpk228480 - September 7, 2010
this

NCChopper - September 7, 2010

VivaLosBravos - September 7, 2010
i would be impressed
but i am just frustrated at this point…how many great plays have happened against us recently?

forgotten_glory - September 7, 2010
Okay, let’s bring them home.
Don’t fail.
Ivan the Great - September 7, 2010
Thank you Snitker
for not sending Hewayrd home.
VivaLosBravos - September 7, 2010
yeah
he would’ve been out by a long way…but i still wasn’t sure because who knows what will happen now…will someone put it in play?
forgotten_glory - September 7, 2010
We are struggling for clutch hits and you hold Heyward... why?
SuperHeyward - September 7, 2010
because he would’ve been thrown out.
VivaLosBravos - September 7, 2010
this
snitker sucks…so sick of him at 3b
SouthernPanther - September 7, 2010
1 out.
But with D. Lee on deck I’m still nervous.
StapleGun - September 7, 2010
he was dead
no way
bpk228480 - September 7, 2010
he would've been out at home
also, because we have already ran into 2 outs – if we had run into a 3rd out at home, this thread explodes
ByrneSupremacy - September 7, 2010
Save us Brian!
Cayla - September 7, 2010
wooooooooooooooooo
PRADO!!!
Jtpdolphins2009 - September 7, 2010
imagine if that double doesn't get taken away from Infante
Jtpdolphins2009 - September 7, 2010
Kinda got our own break with heyward, but yea Infante probably would have scored.
StapleGun - September 7, 2010
Heyward hit the ball very well
VivaLosBravos - September 7, 2010
Please score.
NCChopper - September 7, 2010
oh noes

bpk228480 - September 7, 2010
yep
nuftjedi - September 7, 2010
Well he's had like 1 ground out... I atleast like our chances of a sac fly
SuperHeyward - September 7, 2010
knock on wood
SouthernPanther - September 7, 2010
Don't screw this up D-Lee!!
deewill23 - September 7, 2010

NCChopper - September 7, 2010
uh oh
FitzFan - September 7, 2010
bases juiced and Lee
can endear himself to alot of fans
Jaymin Patel - September 7, 2010
Oh God
Please at least get a sac fly
Bob Mackie - September 7, 2010
List Braves players in their prime this year...
BeatTehMets - September 7, 2010
If he takes strike three Ive got a long drive to punch him in the face
SuperHeyward - September 7, 2010
LOL
nuftjedi - September 7, 2010
what time do we leave?
leedawg - September 7, 2010
haha as soon as he does… I’ll pick you up

Derrek at the Bat
VivaLosBravos - September 7, 2010
does he know that?
nuftjedi - September 7, 2010
Is he taking FB's down the middle?
FitzFan - September 7, 2010
signs of a struggling team
CalBravesFan - September 7, 2010
its questionable if he would have caught up to them anyway
bpk228480 - September 7, 2010
I guess, but wow
FitzFan - September 7, 2010
I was thinking this
but didn’t want to post it
leedawg - September 7, 2010
in fairness
he would have been late on them anyway
Ron A. - September 7, 2010
still 3-2 Fish after 4
nuftjedi - September 7, 2010

bases loaded WIN
c’mon DLEE!

I sometimes with Joe would shush Chip
NCChopper - September 7, 2010
i don't get excited about bases loaded anymore unless conrad or mac are up

Jtpdolphins2009 - September 7, 2010
fuck lee

he's probably o with that.
VivaLosBravos - September 7, 2010
*slits wrists*
BeatTehMets - September 7, 2010
Jesus Christ, Derrek.
Just go sit on the bench if all you can manage in an inning where the first three batters laced balls is a crappy grounder to third.
Ivan the Great - September 7, 2010
is anyone actually surprised?
nuftjedi - September 7, 2010
nice
BravesRaleigh - September 7, 2010
UGH
NCChopper - September 7, 2010
was anyone actually surprised by that?

this is fucking frustrating.

bpk228480 - September 7, 2010
wow...bases loaded wasted again...shocker...
we have now loaded the bases 3 times this series and we haven’t gotten a single hit yet. dross has a sac fly and that is it
SouthernPanther - September 7, 2010
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
fuck this.
Kobe:The Legend - September 7, 2010
Who saw that coming! It’s not like Robinson Lopez is any good, or we have two other superior 1Bs.

CalBravesFan - September 7, 2010
I'd rather have

Sir Veza - September 7, 2010
FU Pedro Alvarez
leedawg - September 7, 2010
ok
it’s time to sacrafice a chicken or something…this is getting ridiculous and sad
the Braves just got to keep on fighting
LEastCoastBears - September 7, 2010
or a Filly
does anyone live on a horse farm?
VivaLosBravos - September 7, 2010
Derrek Lee likes sailing aboard the failboat.
TonyAlmeyda - September 7, 2010
Well now,
wasn’t that a pretty piece of hitting, ugh…
HEYJUDE - September 7, 2010
BRING TROY GLAUS BACK.
There, I said it.
AnEternalEnigma - September 7, 2010
That won't fix anything
But it is pretty funny how people keep stampeding from one washed-up 1B’s camp to another.
SS451 - September 7, 2010
+1
VivaLosBravos - September 7, 2010
I’d rather fail with the kid than this crap
bpk228480 - September 7, 2010
I admit I’d feel more confident with Freeman at the plate these days. He’s more likely to catch a fastball.
NCChopper - September 7, 2010
Maybe
I just don’t know anymore. I doubt there is more production to be gotten out of that spot, regardless of which of the three we slot in.
Still, with Lee’s slump as bad as it is, what harm would there be in starting Freeman for a few days? If he doesn’t catch on, sit him.
SS451 - September 7, 2010
especially with a righty on the mound….what can it hurt?
bpk228480 - September 7, 2010
I honestly hate Derrek Lee
Why the hell is he batting cleanup? he has been nothing but a piece of sh1t for the Braves
Bob Mackie - September 7, 2010
he's batting 5th btw
leedawg - September 7, 2010
Whatever.
he should be batting in a spot I like to call “never traded for”
Bob Mackie - September 7, 2010
5th
mac is cleanup
BravesRaleigh - September 7, 2010
Why the hell is he even playing? I’d take Freeman, Hinske, or glaus right now.
Broccoman - September 7, 2010
LEE FTW
not….all these off midseason acquisitions
JasonHeywardisGod - September 7, 2010
I am sorry
But I might be one of the only people that think we shouldn’t have gotten Lee
Chaos7 - September 7, 2010
yeah because it really crippled the organization.
/sarcasm
VivaLosBravos - September 7, 2010
Still think it was worth a try
Didn’t cost us much. It just hasn’t worked out.
SS451 - September 7, 2010
We need to give Freddie more of a chance to hit
Chaos7 - September 7, 2010
Poor Huddy - he deserves support
Having to pitch with no room for error yet another inning.
NCChopper - September 7, 2010
K
Cayla - September 7, 2010
is it just me or with the bases loaded only these three things happen to us?
1 – We hit a grandslam
2 – Strike out
3 – GIDP
have we gotten a single with the bases loaded all year?
SouthernPanther - September 7, 2010
you forgot infield popup
leedawg - September 7, 2010
yea
i remember a couple, cuz snitker didnt send the guy on 2nd, then we would gidp and only get 1 run out of it
BravesRaleigh - September 7, 2010
WHY IS FREEMAN NOT PLAYING?
Jaymin Patel - September 7, 2010
sooooo
do i just pick up every braves opposing pitcher in fantasy and just stream them?
BravesRaleigh - September 7, 2010
The problem with that is that once a week we explode and use up all of our runs, and that will maul your ERA.
Ivan the Great - September 7, 2010
this
leedawg - September 7, 2010
Seriously that we’re 2nd or 3rd in the league in runs is so misleading
bpk228480 - September 7, 2010
let Minor start every game
HE GETZ ZE WINZ AND ZE RUNZ
Sir Veza - September 7, 2010
feast or famine
leedawg - September 7, 2010
fine
i wont do it with the pitchers ive heard of…like josh johnson, cuz those r the only games we win right?
BravesRaleigh - September 7, 2010
i've done that
when we r on the road at times
forgotten_glory - September 7, 2010

Bob Mackie - September 7, 2010

leedawg - September 7, 2010
we should go to their blog
that way we can ask them what it feels like to root for a team that can actually score runs
Jtpdolphins2009 - September 7, 2010
You should go ahead anyway
Since your not a Braves fan anyway!
Jay212033 - September 7, 2010
what i would do for 3 runs...so jealous
SouthernPanther - September 7, 2010
I'm really happy Huddy has held 'em scoreless so far
I have the feeling that 1 run will be enough to kill us tonight.

My 1st post
WTF is wrong with the Braves lately, Pirates pitching is looking like the 90’s version of the Braves and we are hitting like pitchers. All during a tight division race.
Andeezy - September 7, 2010
I think they are all tired
and they don’t get a day of rest until the 16th.
HEYJUDE - September 7, 2010
How about trying to shake things up and try to bring back some May magic? Move Prado back to leadoff, and play Troy and Hinske more. I’ll even take McLouth over Ankiel if I have to.
ryantex - September 7, 2010 via mobile
McLouth was no part of that May magic.
Other than that, sure, why not. It can’t be worse than what we’re doing now.
SS451 - September 7, 2010
He started it in late April

BeatTehMets - September 7, 2010
not really
we lost 9 straight after that game
leedawg - September 7, 2010
But it was magic.
Heyward trucking it around the bases shakes the camera in center field. Epic.
BeatTehMets - September 7, 2010
mclouth hasnt been strking out every single ab atleast...unlike ankiel...god we must have the most inadequate center fielders in the league
SouthernPanther - September 7, 2010
McLouth can’t do magic. If he has an RBI we have 99.9% less chance of winning that game. If he has more than 1—we automatically lose.
Joseph_C - September 7, 2010
Hinske has been awful since June
bpk228480 - September 7, 2010

hitting under .200 since July 2
leedawg - September 7, 2010
Hinske also never gets at bats anymore. How is he supposed to get in a groove? What would it hurt trying?
ryantex - September 7, 2010 via mobile
3 for Huddy so far and he's SHARP tonight with the GB outs.
NCChopper - September 7, 2010
all he needs is one run.
romone_braves91 - September 7, 2010

You are beyond stupid & yu are actually getting worse. They're still MLB hitters. Can't shut every bad team out.
FitzFan - September 7, 2010
You are unacceptable.
fandave - September 7, 2010
Nonsense.
The Pirates’ pitching is terrible. It just doesn’t matter right now. A pitching machine could shut us out.
SS451 - September 7, 2010
No he’s not. John McDonald is a terrible pitcher. He was 0-3 with a 7.71 ERA in his last 3 starts before shit one. The Braves couldn’t hit a beach ball right now.

AnEternalEnigma - September 7, 2010
STFU
It’s not like the Pirates have Mariano Rivera or anything. Shit. This game doesn’t matter nearly as much as the remaining game with the Phailies. Just chill out everyone, J-Hey got this.

I’m sure a few other people remember it…..I hope? It’s a rule we should all be familiar with. It just tells us what we all already know – the Braves will have to deal with the Phillies in those six remaining games with them.

Chipper knows why the Braves are losing. They're on the road.

UltimaParadox - September 7, 2010

in a division race, it actually does matter if you win games!
VivaLosBravos - September 7, 2010
Whether we win or not tomorrow, this series was a failure.
BravesFan2010 - September 7, 2010
Who's racing?
The Phillies are charging off towards the finish line, and we’ve got two broken legs.
SS451 - September 7, 2010
It’s like the end of Stone Fox when the dog’s heart explodes right before the finish line and he dies.

oVecKid - September 7, 2010
I'm so past that.
The Phillies are obviously going to play better than .500 going forward, and we have now lost two series against two bad clubs. We won’t make the playoffs if this keeps up for another day or two.
SS451 - September 7, 2010
You DO know we play the phills 6 more games… It’s still in our hands…
oVecKid - September 7, 2010

If your negativity was original, well thought out, had any redeeming quality it would be one thing. How is this fun for you? Nobody gives a shit.

Once the Phillies take over the lead, the calendar works for them.

The Marlins just need to load the bases, then we send them Conrad….

Someone needs
to make a song so, that losing the division lead is not so bad

There has to be a song out there about losing a girl only to figure out she was a bitch anyways and you didn’t want her. Like us not wanting to win the division

Rally Joke
A man walked into a doctor’s office and asked the doctor to inspect his leg. The man said, “Here, put your ear to my knee.”
The doctor put his ear to the man’s knee and heard very faintly, “Come on, can I have five bucks, just five bucks?”
The doctor stepped back in horror, and the man said, “I know, but it gets worse. Put your ear to my shin.” The doctor put his ear to the man’s shin and heard very faintly, “Come on, can I have ten bucks, just ten bucks?”
Once again, the doctor stood up, perplexed. The man then said, “If that surprises you, put your ear to my ankle.” The doctor put his ear to the man’s ankle and heard faintly, “Come on, can I have twenty bucks, just twenty bucks?”
The doctor stood up and said, "Well, I can I make just one conclusion.
Your leg is broke in three places."

However, the thing that concerns me is… 1 run in now 17 innings.
NCChopper - September 7, 2010
It is hard not to be concerned about this time
yet there are some on here that make it like its a federal crime to say even one negative thing about this team
Jtpdolphins2009 - September 7, 2010
exactly… these are not off days… this is becoming a trend… Lee doesn’t vidro and we win this game… we are PILING pressure on our pitchers
SuperHeyward - September 7, 2010
This
sexbobomb - September 7, 2010
The thing is
Not hitting with runners on has been a problem FOR A LONG TIME this season… It’s finally catching up to us… And our offensive holes… are starting to really be seen… F-ing ESPN are going to be right unless they can turn it around… and no one wants that
SuperHeyward - September 7, 2010
We can still win 6-5!

It’s another thing to lose 5 of 6 in a pennant race, with two losses being against the worst team in MLB.
AnEternalEnigma - September 7, 2010
Don't worry. We will be at home sweet home for 7 games starting on Thursday. We'll probably go at least 5-2 and Braves fans will think all is well again. That is until we go on the road again and get swept by the Mets.

oVecKid - September 7, 2010
He’s listed right under Nate McLouth.
TheLetter2 - September 7, 2010
So, who killed the season?
Was it Liberty/Wren’s failure to make a play for Dunn or Willingham in July? It’s hilarious that Atlanta commentators keep giving Wren credit for “giving Bobby the pieces he needs for a last run” when talking about Ankiel, Farnsworth, Gonzalez, Lee, and other assorted terrible spare parts.
SS451 - September 7, 2010
Willingham’s been injured for over a month. Do you really regret not making that deal?
AnEternalEnigma - September 7, 2010
Process, not results.
SS451 - September 7, 2010
SO results don't matter?
FitzFan - September 7, 2010
The only result this guy cares about
is the Braves finishing in last place
VivaLosBravos - September 7, 2010
Braves have a 90 million dollar payroll.
BeatTehMets - September 7, 2010
Is it even that high?
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 7, 2010

it’s hard to imaging coming back here the way we are swinging.
rubbles88 - September 7, 2010
I think that 9 game road trip after this upcoming 7 game home trip will pretty much decide whether we make the playoffs or not.
BravesFan2010 - September 7, 2010
And so will the 7 game homestand
FitzFan - September 7, 2010
Yeah, we have to continue our dominance at home. That is what is keeping us alive.If we even start playing average at home we're in trouble.

BTW, Calvin was SOOOO good in college. Watched alot of those games in awe.
oVecKid - September 7, 2010
yes, i remember him when WVU played g tech in a bowl game
TCfromDubVee - September 7, 2010
i remember that game...
bennett was playing…he sucked balls
forgotten_glory - September 7, 2010
luckily
pat white and co did not
TCfromDubVee - September 7, 2010
nope
seems to be the case with gt in bowls…lol…they just dont show up and the other team does
forgotten_glory - September 7, 2010
My friend that went to dub v said Pat white and slaton would do shrooms before every game. He knew them. What a bunch of fuckheads.
oVecKid - September 7, 2010

forgotten_glory - September 7, 2010
YES!!! THEY GOT NATE

Nate got shot? OH NO!!!…..but this means he can’t play anymore, right?…..I mean….ummm……OH NO!!
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 7, 2010
Wow that was some wicked thunder.
Cayla - September 7, 2010
After this game, the Braves will be the Wild Card leaders.
That means it’s time to start scoreboard watching the Giants. And the F’N Rockies again.
AnEternalEnigma - September 7, 2010
It’ll only be half a game behind. We haven’t lost the division—we’ve just fallen behind.
Joseph_C - September 7, 2010
A change in perspective. A while ago, the team kept saying “we control our destiny” being the team they are chasing. Can’t wait to hear what they say now.
rubbles88 - September 7, 2010
and the phillies...
i mean…they have been watching what we do while they were within reach as well
forgotten_glory - September 7, 2010
Loud thunder … and lightning
NCChopper - September 7, 2010
LOL, that stadium literally looks empty.
BravesFan2010 - September 7, 2010
like we’re still in Miami
VivaLosBravos - September 7, 2010
that’s because of the rain…
forgotten_glory - September 7, 2010
Dunn remains perfect!
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 7, 2010
Oh God, seriously ? A rain delay ? Just call the freaking game.
BravesFan2010 - September 7, 2010
The Gods are angry with the Braves and wish to prolong their suffering.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 7, 2010
I really think that loud clap of thunder was a sign from God.
BravesFan2010 - September 7, 2010
Actually, it was Heyward sneezing.
Joseph_C - September 7, 2010
There has to be a 40-minute minimum before calling the game can be discussed.
AnEternalEnigma - September 7, 2010

I think it’s gotta be Conrad.

Oh. I get it. I like it!

Before the playoffs, anyway.
TonyAlmeyda - September 7, 2010
Bring the rain to Georgia. My lawn is brown.
BravesFan2010 - September 7, 2010
You can water outside these days
BeatTehMets - September 7, 2010
be damn fitting if it rained
the day they got back from getting swept by the pirates
15ks - September 7, 2010
no kidding. the pollen has been rough lately.
Bravely going forward - September 7, 2010
Yeah, my allergies have really been bad lately.
BravesFan2010 - September 7, 2010
really?
i have had too much rain recently…my lawn is like, a deep green…
forgotten_glory - September 7, 2010
Really a rain delay?
Man that would happen… Look like a short one?
SuperNewb - September 7, 2010 via mobile
Radar looks like a lot more rain headed towards Pittsburgh.
BravesFan2010 - September 7, 2010
Hopefully they can squeeze in our comeback in the 9th and quick bottom of the inning.
jack dein - September 7, 2010
well that sucks
SuperNewb - September 7, 2010 via mobile
I don't get it...
If the Braves lose… and the Phillies win… let me do the math…
We’ll be A HALF GAME back, right?
And everybody is acting like we’re about to lose the entire season? Some of you people need some serious happy pills.
SuperNewb - September 7, 2010 via mobile
I honestly don't care if we win the division or not. The only thing that matters to me is winning the WS.
BravesFan2010 - September 7, 2010
cant speak for the others
but i need some serious braves offense
15ks - September 7, 2010
Yeah, seriously. But it’s just that losing on the road with zero offense is so damn depressing!!
TonyAlmeyda - September 7, 2010
Just pray that the Braves get home field advantage in the 1st round and don't have to play the Reds.
BravesFan2010 - September 7, 2010
braves trending downwards
phillies trending upwards
Bob Mackie - September 7, 2010
It doesn’t look good when you lose 5 out of 6, and 2 of the 5 losses have been to a team projected to lose 108 games.
AnEternalEnigma - September 7, 2010
Exactly what I’m thinking. The Phillies play FLA and the Mets on the road. The Braves go home—where they are awesome. Offense does suck this game…Losing to the Pirates is depressing—nonetheless the season isn’t over—despite what it may seem like others think.
Joseph_C - September 7, 2010
Joseph, I think you'll agree that it's an absolute MUST that we get home field throughout the playoffs. We are just horrible on the road.
BravesFan2010 - September 7, 2010
Point taken. I’m optimistic enough to think the Braves can turn it around fast—but even my optimism is starting to fade.
Joseph_C - September 7, 2010
nice job ump...
force Dunn to pitch through a downpour then let the Pirates closer wait for nice weather to come in and get 4 more outs… nice…
Sean Lavery - September 7, 2010
oops
make that 3..
Sean Lavery - September 7, 2010
I seldom leave before a game ends, but unfortunately I can't wait out this rain delay.....
I must retire to bed, so I can get up at 5am for the hell-commute to work.
*Everyone else: Will the Braves to score 6+ runs in the 9th. Brooks Conrad needs another grand slam.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 7, 2010
We ain’t at home—-so no comeback.
Joseph_C - September 7, 2010

Just started laughing his ass off them they told him there’s a rain delay in pittsburgh.

seriously
maybe losing first place lights a fire under the braves’ asses
forgotten_glory - September 7, 2010
It may be over for us tonite
But the Marlins are still in their game.
Andeezy - September 7, 2010
Hope we find a way to get 6 runs before 3 outs after the delay.
Nite everyone.
Perhaps tomorrow our offense will show up for Lowe.
NCChopper - September 7, 2010
night, thanks for being reasonable
VivaLosBravos - September 7, 2010
I just arrived and notice that we are losing 5-0
WTF happened?
joshant - September 7, 2010
Typical road game.
Joseph_C - September 7, 2010
but we cant scored even 1 run?
joshant - September 7, 2010
Had the bases loaded 1 out back in the 6th
when it was still 0-0, but Lee grounded into a double play. A hit there, and I feel like we win the game, but alas, no dice.

7-4 Phillies
THis is a horrible day
deewill23 - September 7, 2010
I'd at least like to see some signs of hope before this game is over. Even if it means we lose 5-4.
BravesFan2010 - September 7, 2010
or 5-1
Joseph_C - September 7, 2010
Last Year in September...
“The Braves went on a 16-3 tear to make a magical run to the NL Wild Card before just coming up short.
But it didn’t start immediately.
That run was immediately preceded by a 3-game sweep by the lowly Reds, who were next to last in the NL Central when they swept the Braves.
Could a 3-game sweep by the Pirates cause a reprise of something similar to the 16-3 run?"
AnEternalEnigma - September 7, 2010
I hope a run happens—but doesn’t fall short.
Joseph_C - September 7, 2010
Also, the Braves went 2-6 to begin September 2009.
AnEternalEnigma - September 7, 2010
awesome…yeah if we play like we did at the end of last year the phillies better watch out
forgotten_glory - September 7, 2010
Umm, the Braves finished the year last year 0-6 so if we finish like we did last year we have no chance to make the playoffs.
BravesFan2010 - September 7, 2010
that was after we were eliminated
SuperNewb - September 7, 2010 via mobile
Well, even after we were eliminated we still had something to play for. We still had a shot to win 90 games.
BravesFan2010 - September 7, 2010
wooo
90 games…
does that matter if u dont make the playoffs? in all honesty?
forgotten_glory - September 7, 2010
Nothing matters if we can’t make it for Bobby.
Joseph_C - September 7, 2010
well at least the sweep by the nats was
SuperNewb - September 7, 2010 via mobile
ummm
after we had been pretty much eliminated…and i was referring to the crazy run we went on…i didnt mean just the last 6 games…
forgotten_glory - September 7, 2010
man that would mean we have to lose tomorrow too…
SuperNewb - September 7, 2010 via mobile
Could the Braves beat the best Little League team on the road ?
BravesFan2010 - September 7, 2010
that Japanese team
has a pretty good lefty… so I doubt it
UltimaParadox - September 7, 2010
Welcome back april
Bob Mackie - September 7, 2010
Well, it's always important to finish the season strong to have some momentum going into October.
BravesFan2010 - September 7, 2010
Can Gondee do the Threads?
I remember awhile ago a post analyzing the winning % of all the TC writers and I remember the Braves had the biggest success rate when Gondee did the thread.
So my request even though it would be a ton of work is Gondee do the threads for our remaining games. I’ll take all the luck we can get!
CooperstownChipper - September 7, 2010 via mobile
can i get the score?
crimsonpride19 - September 7, 2010
150 - 0
UltimaParadox - September 7, 2010
Huddy’s ERA is screwed
crimsonpride19 - September 7, 2010
they brought in
Mclouth to pitch, but he would not throw the ball to home plate. So they called a ball
UltimaParadox - September 7, 2010
haha
I lol’d
kauf67 - September 7, 2010
can someone tell me why we are losing?
RISP failed
Huddy sucks
?
joshant - September 7, 2010
Not Huddy at all…RISP fail, LOB etc. etc. Huddy gave up some, but he wouldn’t be losing if not for the offensive outage.
Joseph_C - September 7, 2010
but who is the most suckiest?
joshant - September 7, 2010
and what he did to earn that mention?
joshant - September 7, 2010
Derrek and the DP was the suckiest play.
Joseph_C - September 7, 2010
oh it sounds like glaus
joshant - September 7, 2010
Yeah it was a huge (negative) play
momentum wise. If he gets a hit there, I think we win the game.
Cayla - September 7, 2010
the offense has to score 5 runs in first 7 innings or its their fault?
if that’s the case you must not blame lowe for more than 2 of his losses this year
15ks - September 7, 2010
My bad. I thought Hudson only gave up 2 of those runs. So—yes He “sucked” , but he manages to look better while sucking than the offense.
Joseph_C - September 7, 2010
this is unbelievable that we are losing a series agains the worst team of MLB
and the fact that we had used our 2 “best pitchers” make it hurts more
joshant - September 7, 2010
All around incompetence
Offense is mostly to blame
Bob Mackie - September 7, 2010
Marlins HAVE LIFE!
oVecKid - September 7, 2010

The Marlins are coming hooray hooray

We might be saved by the fish…..just might.
Joseph_C - September 7, 2010
If Victorino wasnt so fast.
oVecKid - September 7, 2010
They actually have offense on the road.
TonyAlmeyda - September 7, 2010
Imagine that.
Joseph_C - September 7, 2010
Watching Victorino in the outfield in Philly makes me
want the Braves just to call up their best defensive center fielder because they couldn’t do much worse than than our current center fielders at the plate
bravesforever16 - September 7, 2010
I hate the dude. He’s a dirty player and asshole, but FUCK can he play center!
oVecKid - September 7, 2010
7-6 in the 8th...
Logan Morrison up to bat with the tying tun on 2B. They are bringing in J.C. Romero to face him.
Morrison is 2-for-4 today with 1 RBI.
AnEternalEnigma - September 7, 2010
And Romero balked. LOL
TonyAlmeyda - September 7, 2010
…And Romero immediately balks. Bonafacio to 3B.
AnEternalEnigma - September 7, 2010
Balk and Walk…I like it!
Joseph_C - September 7, 2010
Morrison walks
now if Hanley would just do something productive.
Cayla - September 7, 2010
Hanley Ramirez is on deck. But he’s 0-for-4 with 4 men left on base.
AnEternalEnigma - September 7, 2010
And he has ugly hair.
Joseph_C - September 7, 2010
this is the more important statistic of the two mentioned
forgotten_glory - September 7, 2010

Coming in to face Hanley Ramirez.
J.C. Romero getting an unkind exit from the Philly faithful.

A Phils Walkoff
Would be worst than a blow out win. It will piss me off more if they get a walkoff win, plus it will be a huge momentum boost for them not only walking off but taking first place.

SuperNewb - September 7, 2010
If the fish win then I believe this is our year haa
MikeTrain - September 7, 2010
Phillies fans are ecstatic once they found out we lost
deewill23 - September 7, 2010
it only took them till the 8th inning to figure out what ATL meant on the scoreboard. lolz silly phaillies phans.
jdeuel3868 - September 7, 2010
This I doubt
SuperNewb - September 7, 2010
and you wouldn’t be ecstatic if we lost?
Bilzo - September 7, 2010
seriously
SuperNewb - September 7, 2010
Wow, Ryan Madson is staying in to pitch the 9th….
AnEternalEnigma - September 7, 2010
well yea
they know they have to win..why put lidge in?
forgotten_glory - September 7, 2010
Good night everyone
Hopefully falling into second place will get us going and we’ll go on a tear. We went from last to first, we can definitely go from 0.5 back to first. Until tomorrow.
Cayla - September 7, 2010
Uggla Ks. 1 out.
AnEternalEnigma - September 7, 2010
and predicting a 1 2 3 inning for fish now.
MikeTrain - September 7, 2010
Stanton has homered in 3 straight games I think
VivaLosBravos - September 7, 2010
Sanchez flies out on the 1st pitch.
2 outs.
AnEternalEnigma - September 7, 2010
This Pisses Me Off!
But the over all attitude of people on here is just sickening!
UpstateNyBravesFan - September 7, 2010
guess people aren't allowed to lament..
MikeTrain - September 7, 2010
Lament? Why don't we try to support?
UpstateNyBravesFan - September 7, 2010
Do you expect people to be upbeat and positive when the team loses 5 of 6, and 2 against a 100+ loss team?
AnEternalEnigma - September 7, 2010
+1000000000
Hektor DiPaula - September 7, 2010
Did anyone expect this team to even be here?
UpstateNyBravesFan - September 7, 2010
Way to go Gaby!
I heart you!
SuperNewb - September 7, 2010
Mike Stanton is the last hope. He’s been a homer machine in this park.
AnEternalEnigma - September 7, 2010
who's not?
VivaLosBravos - September 7, 2010
Wait...
Me
SuperNewb - September 7, 2010
melky
forgotten_glory - September 7, 2010
Me
SuperNewb - September 7, 2010
can we have a confidence poll tomorrow...????
Hektor DiPaula - September 7, 2010
me = 5
dank7 - September 7, 2010
lol
sub 50 I bet.
VivaLosBravos - September 7, 2010
Man if you'd told me at the beginning of the season we could be where we are now at this point...
I’d take it in a second.
SuperNewb - September 7, 2010
very true
jdeuel3868 - September 7, 2010
walked the tyin run
VivaLosBravos - September 7, 2010
Mike Stanton walks on 4 pitches.
Wes Helms up to pinch hit.
AnEternalEnigma - September 7, 2010
who is the pitching matchup for the braves tomorrow?
joshant - September 7, 2010
DLowe vs A Pitcher From The Pirates
SuperNewb - September 7, 2010
lol
jdeuel3868 - September 7, 2010
and who is that pitcher?
i think it´s a lefty
joshant - September 7, 2010
indeed he is...
but a lefty we have had a lot of luck against in the past
forgotten_glory - September 7, 2010
Luck means nothing
Joseph_C - September 7, 2010
lowe vs. duke
forgotten_glory - September 7, 2010
ugh! Duke is LHP
I´m not confident about that game
joshant - September 7, 2010
ohh shit
Kobe:The Legend - September 7, 2010
it doesnt matter....
dLowe vs a bat boy that will throw a 2 hit shutout…..
Hektor DiPaula - September 7, 2010
Derek Lowe vs. Zach Duke.
Lowe is 9-0 in his career against the Pirates, and the Braves have historically destroyed Duke.
We’ll see what happens.
AnEternalEnigma - September 7, 2010
he´s a lefty...
and remember historically what happens with the lefty’s…..
Hektor DiPaula - September 7, 2010
historically is not today
hopefully, im wrong
joshant - September 7, 2010
Phillies are leading the division
Maybe will take the division back tomorrow!
deewill23 - September 7, 2010
maybe lowe pulls his hand out of his ass and uses it to pitch a good game first...
im skeptical of all this rest he’s been on.
jdeuel3868 - September 7, 2010
.5 back
Come back… get them tomorrow, end the night .5 up
GO BRAVES!
SuperNewb - September 7, 2010
it was good knowing you NL East
Kobe:The Legend - September 7, 2010
...Wait, we're going to another division?
I CHOOSE THE NL WEST!!!
Where I’m pretty sure we’d still be in first!
SuperNewb - September 7, 2010
THIS!
jdeuel3868 - September 7, 2010
For crying out loud, THERE’S 24 GAMES LEFT!!!
TonyAlmeyda - September 7, 2010
Amen, Amen, and Amen!!
Joseph_C - September 7, 2010
Actually 23, but still…13 of those games are at home, and six more with the Phillies.
We got this.
TonyAlmeyda - September 7, 2010
I hope and pray that this lineup bursts into action. Even if it takes Bobby being ejected from every game.
Joseph_C - September 7, 2010
This better wake up the Braves. If it don’t, nothing will.
Joseph_C - September 7, 2010
its official....!!!!!!!!
Hektor DiPaula - September 7, 2010
alright all
let’s hope the braves go out there and brutalize duke tomorrow…little help from the fish would be nice as well!
forgotten_glory - September 7, 2010
Everybody take a step back from your TV
And make sure ESPN doesn’t jizz all over you.
SuperNewb - September 7, 2010
lol
couldn’t say it any better myself
forgotten_glory - September 7, 2010
and now, we have to hear ESPN and all of their guys talking trash
that they know that Phillies will win the division, rable rable
joshant - September 7, 2010
i won't turn espn on...
i will just watch MLBN
forgotten_glory - September 7, 2010
Troy Glaus is so angry and he will go 6-6 with 6 homers in his next start at 1B. He doesn’t like being in second place.
Joseph_C - September 7, 2010
It’ll be more fun letting ESPN enjoy the .5 lead for one ENTIRE night, and then watch the Braves rout the Bucs tomorrow.
Joseph_C - September 7, 2010
It would help if the Marlins routed the Phillies as well.
TonyAlmeyda - September 7, 2010
It better happen.
Joseph_C - September 7, 2010
Remember when we had a 6 game lead? I liked that. I’m going to go puke now.
BullManUGA - September 7, 2010
What the f!!!!
taney71 - September 7, 2010
nuftjedi - September 7, 2010
