Let the culling begin.
Bub, I’m back on the negative train in a big way. Expect bombs in this week’s show. I’m so tired of this act the Braves keep performing.
Thing Escobar got benched as much for his lack of production as he did for his lack effort on that play that ended up costing the team three runs last night?
P.s. We aren’t in the same stratosphere as the Phils right now. And the gap seems to be going in the wrong direction.

Give ‘em hell, Curt. They deserve every grumpy word. They do NOT have to be playing like this. There’s no way I can be convinced this is necessary. I don’t have to look any further than Escobar’s pullswings at Moyer to know that this team isn’t being run right.
Even my Wild Card hopes are kind of “meh…”, not because I don’t think they can make it, but because even if they do, they’re not gonna suddenly play up to their potential. The team seems diseased. There, that’s as dark as I’ll be.
We might win this series, or Mets migh out-lose us. But if we don’t, I’m putting the Braves on probation:
1. I’m not watching/ listening to live games until they act right. If they win a game, I’ll watch the mlb.com condensed game the next day. (Those are neat. No commentary, just crowd noise. I mean “crowd” noise.)
2. If they lose, I’ll just skip it and rent a movie. I can find 162 movies worth my attention over this mess. I want a fun summer.
3. If they get their act together, I’ll watch live games again.
That’s only if they lose the Mets series. Though, if Francoeur gets a 3-hit night, I might pull the trigger anyway. So, STRAIGHTEN UP, Bravos, or your days of freely commanding my 3-hour attention are over. (I hate to scare them so bad, but desperate times…)
“Cox said Escobar and Glaus just getting a day off, insisted Escobar move had nothing “to do with slump or his play on the DP last night.”
Yeah, you know what Bobby? Don’t be in such an all fired hurry to soothe these guys’ worries.
Also, if Terry Pendleton takes the reigns next year, AND they continue cutting costs, I’m pretty sure I’m outta here. Life’s too short.

Ugh, sorry for all the novel-lengthers. Mad as hell and I’m not gonna take it anymore?

p.s. I’m Bubdoubter for a LOOOOONG time this time. Not getting suckered back in by a miracle 9th inning after 8 innings off butt soup. Followed by 2 more games of the same.

“Bowman and me approached Escobar just while ago, asked him if he’s just getting a day off, and he said, in English, “I don’t know nothing.”
Then Bowman asked him if he thought he could have made the play on the would-be double play relay, and Escobar just sort of shrugged and had a facial expression that said, no comment.” – DOB
Yeah, don’t like Yunel Escobar any more. When (and not before) he’s replaced with good talent, happy to see him go.
“Bowman and me approached”??? David?

I believe! I know…downright idiotic. Can’t be helped.
Still can only access ABT via iPhone. Both computers tell me either I’m blocked or “can’t open socket”. Starting to get a complex. Go Braves!!!!

1-2-3 for John Maine.
That’s right. For John Maine.

Nice, Nate.
April 23rd, 2010 at 7:22 pm
Dear Nate, thanks buddy. Love, Killer
April 23rd, 2010 at 7:22 pm
Mets & Braves offenses: this game should take about 8 minutes.
April 23rd, 2010 at 7:38 pm
Fair or Foul: Bobby Cox personally dislikes Nate McLouth.
April 23rd, 2010 at 7:42 pm
Infante AND Hinske picking up (the only) hits the first time through. The sky is telling you something, Bobby. Replacing non-performers now and then is GOOD. Listen, old man, to the sky.
April 23rd, 2010 at 7:43 pm
Foul. BC doesn’t not like anyone. I wonder how long it took KK’s interpreter to learn all those signs. *bows to great applause and laughter*

I want a tattoo.
April 23rd, 2010 at 7:49 pm
I LIKE this lineup. A whole heck of a lot.
April 23rd, 2010 at 7:52 pm
Oh, Jason. That was out of the zone.
Good job, Chipper. The old man’s getting his average up.
April 23rd, 2010 at 7:55 pm
J-Hey may be the nicest person alive but he looks like a serious badass.
April 23rd, 2010 at 7:57 pm
Miserable. Wake me up when the Braves can beat Francoeur.
April 23rd, 2010 at 7:59 pm
Hehehe…Frenchy thinking he can take McCann. Dude’s a tree trunk. Made me happy.
April 23rd, 2010 at 8:03 pm
sh*t. I took a phone call. Graphic says Chipper threw him out? Describe, please, Mary.
April 23rd, 2010 at 8:06 pm
Yeah, we all know Hinske and Infante could collect 10 hits tonight and there is no way they aren’t back on the bench come tomorrow. As Infante picks up his second hit…..
April 23rd, 2010 at 8:08 pm
Ok, here’s how it went down. Somebody hit right to chipper and Frenchy (of course) was already headed home. Chip fired it to B Mac. The Macster caught it with both hands and held fast. Frenchy half heartedly tried to run him over to no avail. What do we know about Met’s bullpen?
April 23rd, 2010 at 8:13 pm
Thanks.
Don’t know much about the Mets’ pen. I know it would be handy if we could hit it hard and wear it out for the rest of the series. As far as I know, there’s nobody on the level with Moylan, Saito, or Wagner except their closer, K-Rod.
April 23rd, 2010 at 8:23 pm
lol. Mets.
