No need to kvetch... just yet.

However, I believe someone needs to tell Wilson that his absence is starting to upset the karma that has kept the Braves in 1st. Time for him to re-surface on CTN.
Agreed. Word!

Braves will turn it ALL around TONIGHT! Tonight is the beginning of a seven game win streak!

Go BRAVES!

(((((((((((((((((((((((((()))))))))))))))))))))))))))

By the way, according to the AJC, Tommy Hanson is 0-2 in his last three starts with one no-decision. His E.R.A. during that winless stretch? 1.33 Unbelievable.

Well...a shadow copy was supposed to be left in place...maybe that only happens when a thread is moved to a different forum. :-?

The Phillies have some multi-million dollar pitcher going today. So do the Braves... Lowe. :o)

Indeed. Braves fans need to settle down a bit and quit with the panic and knee-jerk reactions. It's a long season and the Braves have good pitching. You have to have faith, and believe in your team! No negativity!

Go Braves!

I quit.

Two errors, one hit batsman in the ninth with a one-run lead.

Walking the lead-off runner three innings in a row late in the game and into extra innings.

They suck. They are not deserving of first place.

Go Phillies!

FUCK!

-EarlJam






Yea, right.

So did the O's!

I think the Braves' slide is my fault. Just before they stopped hitting, I told Bruce I was sick of having the Orioles kick me in the teeth and any other body parts they could find, and maybe I'd just start watching the Braves....

DD, I would seriously consider myself the kiss of death, and root for the Yankees (sorry, Ozzie) but since my university hoisted 2 banners this year and my NFL team took home the Lombardi trophy I don't think I can be blamed for this one.

Lefty pitcher Mike Minor was called up from AAA-Gwinnett, and will start tomorrow versus the Mets. He had 5 starts at Gwinnett.

Somehow, I don't think the Phils are relying on AAA starting pitchers.

Not to do with the Braves but the Blue Jays called up a catcher who made his major league debut yesterday and he ended up hitting two homers, a single, and a double. He damned near hit for the cycle in his first ever big league game.

And then today they had a pitcher lose his bid for a no-hitter with two out in the ninth (on two separate occassions Dave Steib lost a no-hitter and a perfect game with two out and two strikes in the ninth).
