Great. Sutton says Heyward looks hurt.
July 31st, 2010 at 7:02 pm
Bobby lost this game.
July 31st, 2010 at 7:02 pm
If Heyward hurt himself on that swing, just freaking shoot me. Go down to the pawn shop, get on the waiting list, go back and get the guns, purchase bullets, come to Jacksonville, and shoot me.

At least Mac, Infante, and JJ came to play.
July 31st, 2010 at 7:04 pm
Jason, please don’t take the fastball right down the middle for a called third strike when you are the tying run.
July 31st, 2010 at 7:06 pm
Curt, I’m not sure he could swing at it. They said he looked like he may have hurt himself on the first swing.

You can’t have Glaus and Chipper not hit in the middle of the order. It is not going to win games. How long until he figures it out? Geez. I’ll cut Gonzo some slack because he’s coming of illness, but yes, he is contributing absolutely nothing offensively. Like a .255 AVG. with 1 RBI since the trade.

My guess is Infante could play the outfield better than Melky if ever given the chance. Regardless, he should play every day. No question. We would have been shut out if it wasn’t for Infante.

Bub, the thumb? I was feeding the kids dinner so I only saw the end of the at bat.
July 31st, 2010 at 7:16 pm
I dunno. This is what they said on the radio:
“He swings and a foul… and Heyward is standing there like he hurt something”
(Powell responds) “Yes he is… he touches the hip… and now he takes a little walk…”
And then he never swung again.

Fat Joe is pitching for the Phils tonight. Maybe the Nats can pull another out for us now that Dunn and Willingham are still there.
July 31st, 2010 at 7:20 pm
Why was JJ charged with 5 ER? I thought the 5th run scored because of the Melky error.
July 31st, 2010 at 7:21 pm
Kate, they got another hit after that, so if the runner had stayed at 2B after the double, he’d have scored on Nix’s hit.
July 31st, 2010 at 7:28 pm
The Blanton Show has started, lol. Maybe we’ll stay at 3.5, that would be a blessing after this sillyassed game. I might could even laugh at Melky’s cartoon error.

Any chance you guys could get the site set to return to the last page of comments after a submission? No biggie, just thought I’d ask.

No Ryan Howard for the Sillies this evening. I wish our first baseman could get a day off.
July 31st, 2010 at 7:32 pm
That really sucks for JJ. 2 starts in a row that the Braves should have won, but…
July 31st, 2010 at 7:39 pm
Bub, I’ve asked about the same thing. It’s quite annoying. Steve is the IT guy so bust on him about it.
July 31st, 2010 at 7:43 pm
So you can’t assume a double play in baseball, but you can assume a runner on 2nd scores on a single?

Yankees picked up Berkman, Kearns and Kerry Wood and only took on $4.5 mill in salary

I watched a little of a Yankees game the other day, and I came to two conclusions, neither of them being very original: 1. They are incredible to watch, that line-up stepping up there, megahitter after megahitter, and 2. I can’t hate them for being in the biggest city in the world, filling their stadium, and spending the money accordingly to create an unbelievable juggernaut.
I hate the situation, but I can’t hate the team. If somehow the Braves started filling up the stands every night, and we still had WTBS, and flooded the organization with money, and Blank bought the team, wouldn’t you want him to do the same thing?
I want to beat them. Nothing would be more satisfying. But they ARE amazing. They could win 115 games or more. They could sweep all the way to a WS championship. And as luck-driven as baseball is, that would be pretty awe-inspiring.
The way they’re going, they’re probably going to end up building the most dominant team in baseball history. Yeah, it’s bought with Monopoly Money, but it’s still an unreal assembly of talent.
That is all. I still hate them. But in a way, I don’t.
(Yes, I’m aware Leah will never speak to me after this post. But the truth must live.)

And, no, this is not the precursor of my abandoning the Braves again. That was the lamest week of my sports life.
July 31st, 2010 at 7:56 pm
I’ve been awake for 27 hours. Wow.
July 31st, 2010 at 8:00 pm
Not going to get much sleep in the dog house my friend.
July 31st, 2010 at 8:05 pm
I sleep like a baby in the dog house, trust me I’ve got experience.
