I hate you and your AAA pitchers who can't throw a strike. I admit, I was enjoying watching Jeff Bennett get himself into a 0-6 hole on ESPN tonight, but then this frapping idiot threw a 93 mph heater directly into Soriano's hand, breaking it and probably taking him out for a couple of months at least. For crying out loud! The only good thing that team has going is Chipper, so some moron had to try to jack up the Cubs' season.





Okay. Venting over. I feel a little better now.

I hate you and your Cubs too. Can't wait for them not to be World Series champions again.

So after getting the crap kicked out of him and not being able to throw strikes, are you saying that he suddenly could locate the pitch and intentionally hit Soriano?

Congratulations to all intelligent Braves fans for recognizing internet sarcasm. Of course he didn't do it on purpose. Sheesh. Panties in a wad lately?

Yes, when it comes to the Braves.

[bigsmooth]

i think all of us braves fans are edgy knowing that our season is over.

[TDDance234]

It's time for a firesale.

[Cider Jim]

Never say "fire" in Atlanta. They're still trying to get over Sherman's march to the sea.

[bigsmooth]

though i love tommy glavine, we should never have signed him. it's time to go young. and if possible terminate mike hampton's contract too.

[TDDance234]

Hampton is up after this year...and Smoltz will have to have a new deal if he's able to come back.

Sadly, the Braves don't really have any tradeable players...except for maybe Tex but he'll have to sign a new deal with any new team and that's going to be tough to do. McCann is the only catch the Braves have MLB ready in the next 3-4 years and Francouer has really drove his worth way down by playing poor defense and his average plummeting lower than it's ever been.

McDowell can't keep pitchers as healthy as Leo did...but has done a good job with what he's had to work with.

It's a dark day for Braves fans.

dang yankees...

Let me just say that I hate the Cubs, the Yankees...and that even in these dark times, I am still a Braves fan.

For the record, I'm sick and hopped up on medicine and I had just woken up when I posted that last night. My sarcasm meter was definitely off.

[flameshaw]

Things are looking even worse for the tribe as they enter the buzzsaw called Angel Stadium this weekend. Hope they lose the next three and win out the rest of the season.

Wait wait wait

You guys dont have it that bad. I mean, when your team could actually be renamed "Washed up Puerto Rican players who you thought were in a wheelchair but are now actually still in the majors hitting .220" youre in much more trouble.

Carlos Delgado, Luis Castillo, Moises Alou, Fernando Tatis(not playing bad though)

RAUL CASANOVA!!!!!

[Cider Jim]

Come over to the dark side and become an ORIOLES fan.

Raul Mondesi and Andruw Jones could probably be had for cheap...oh wait, we've tried that.

[whmatthews]

I'm not a big McDowell fan... I think he should get the boot. Last week on Fox, Leo Mazzone said he wanted to get back into coaching... pretty sure Frank Wren needs to get on the phone.

[01LUGrad]

Hold up...after today's game, it is quite possible hitting batters is Bobby Cox's new strategy. In case you missed it, another AAA pitcher plunked Reed Johnson of the Cubs with the bases loaded in the bottom of the 11th to complete the Chicago sweep.

By the way, I do feel for Braves fans. I know what you are going through plus some. My family has been waiting on a Cubs World Series win for 5 generations now.


Oh, you probably shouldn't say "fire" in Chicago either. Something about Mrs. O'Leary's cow...

[bigsmooth]

your sarcasm is just soooo hilarious i hope the cubs curse continues

[01LUGrad]

I chose not to dwell on superstitions. It's bad luck.

[PAmedic]

and STILL no one cares...

Braves

whatever

bunch of schmucks

with the exception of LU, I really believe anything south of DC oughta be bombed outta existence.

Was there a more telling moment in baseball this year then when the hometown Braves fans rose to their feet cheering the victory against an arch nemesis, the scorekeeper places an X on the opposing team's end of the 9th inning. Game over let's go home.

Wait, the second baseman drops the ball out of his glove. Phillies score, change the scoreboard, fans let out a collective sigh.

Thanks my family and I appreciate that.
