Wow, I watch the end of Tron and all of a sudden we are down 2

Well..Well…looks like we might get “Bad Hanson” today

In all this time, through all these bumps in the road, I’ve never said a bad word about Tommy Hanson.
But this early run business of his is about to get on my last nerve. Dude needs to man up and adjust.

How about JJ yesterday…I think he got better as the day went on.

I agree, Leah. His last inning, against the heart of the order, his pitches looked great.
April 17th, 2011 at 1:03 pm
Also agree…JJ looked smooth. Tommy no more runs ok?

Disaster.
How do you miss a bunt on a 82 MPH change up in the heart of the plate?

GET A BUNTING COACH FOR THE TEAM!!!

Appropriate for Tommy Glavine to be calling the game for Tommay Hanson’s start… Neither one of them can get out of the first inning clean…
April 17th, 2011 at 1:26 pm
Seriously…just strike out so Prado could have a chance with 2 outs and the bases juiced….
April 17th, 2011 at 1:28 pm
Thank God we have… Heyward… in… the… two-hole…
April 17th, 2011 at 1:30 pm
Jason Heyward hidden injury discovery in 5 … 4 … 3 … 2 …

Look at Jose Reyes…he makes the runs happen. Thats why we need a base stealer on the team…we need one very very bad.

BOYCOTT! Get real, these are the Mets. When they face good pitchers, Braves have very little offense beyond Chipper and McCann. They can and will trade their youth for guys like Uggla and Gonzalez but they can’t keep the young guys because of budget constraints put on management by the parent company (Liberty Media of Colorado/they are Rockies fans). Best thing the Atlanta fans can do is stay home (Boycott the games) and start demanding new ownership.

Ron, I think the Boycott is already in effect…

#165 – made me laugh. And may well be true.

Pure – just read your inaugural post. Loved it. I wish you luck with the site. And we’ll link to you on the homepage in a day or two.

J Hey!!!!
Of course, I can hear Frediculous (hey, I just made that up!) now saying “it was a solo – that’s why you bat him lower”)
*cries*
April 17th, 2011 at 3:25 pm
come on brooks…prove your worth
April 17th, 2011 at 3:29 pm
Damnit!!! I guess that is brooks worth….I’m glad we have him on the team
April 17th, 2011 at 3:33 pm
Well, as grumpy as I am, it was a good at bat by Brooks. He came back from 1-2 to make it a full count against a good closer.
The REST of the game, though, KILL IT WITH FIRE!
April 17th, 2011 at 3:52 pm
All hinges on the Brave’s pitchers inability to get down a bunt…
Bases loaded, one run in, one out and WE DON’T SCORE!!! Then lose by ONE RUN…
WE NEED A BUNTING COACH!!!

@ Bubdylan
If Fredi says that he’s even more crazy than I thought. J Hey probably doesn’t get that pitch batting lower. The game of baseball is synonymous with the Butterfly effect. IF IF IF
