They just said last 5 they are 1-4 and have given up 13 runs. a total joke.
September 9th, 2009 at 10:32 pm
they have scored 7 in that stretch
September 9th, 2009 at 10:39 pm
Bub…that would be a no.
September 9th, 2009 at 10:42 pm
Yikes. I picked a seriously good time to become occupied, eh? How is the team acting about all this?
September 9th, 2009 at 10:53 pm
I imagine the Braves team is very dejected at the loss especially in the setting of an excellent Tommy Hanson performance. I also think that the ABT team is getting a little more hateful than I’m comfortable with. Go Braves. See ya ABT.
September 9th, 2009 at 11:03 pm
Bub, glad the swine flu didn’t take away your sense of humor. I watched until the bottom of the 9th and then watched an episode of Dexter with the Reverend. At least I know it’s going to be a tragedy!
PS…I freakin love ABT.
September 9th, 2009 at 11:04 pm
No Tcc, don’t go! Steve isn’t hateful. Stay for Steeeeeeeeeve!
September 9th, 2009 at 11:06 pm
It was a terrible loss, but nothing new here since the swoon’s begun. No offense. Shaky closer. The biggest shame was blowing Hanson’s masterpiece and hurting his ROY chances in the process. Ugh, indeed.
September 9th, 2009 at 11:18 pm
G’night ABT. *waves at Leah*
Hey, I guess we’re “sharing a drink they call [our team sucks]-iness, but it’s better than drinkin’ alone?”
laaaa di daaaa diddy daaaa….
September 9th, 2009 at 11:31 pm
Oh dear…Bub’s mixing cold meds and beer. *waves back at drunk heavily medicated Bub*. Next year, first play off game ABT crew and faithful followers will meet in the ATL to cheer on the Bravos. I can FEEL it.
September 9th, 2009 at 11:52 pm
Leah/Bub – I’m here. And Leah, I love your optimism about next year. And I share it. Things are only looking up for the foreseeable future. And, as C in B aptly pointed out a few days ago, our short lived wildcard chase after the AllStar break was really just icing on a rebuilding year. This team was mediocre to bad much of the first half. The tease in July/August was a hell of a lot of fun. That said, I can’t ignore the fact that the tease in July/August has made this total collapse really, really frustrating. Oh, productive offense, we hardly knew ya.
September 9th, 2009 at 11:55 pm
I haven’t read any comments yet, but another night mismanaged…yet again. *le sigh*
September 10th, 2009 at 1:14 am
Yeah, I trust Kelly Johnson. I think he’s gotten better defensively and has fallen on some hard luck at the plate this year, but I think he’s an above average MLB second baseman on both sides of the ball.
September 10th, 2009 at 8:13 am
2010 season tickets are on sale…when?? I’m in.
I’m also with Bub in picking an awesome time to be busy. Go Brav…oh, never mind.
September 10th, 2009 at 8:36 am
P.W. I like your commitment. We all loved Kelly going into the season. Steve got to interview him and he is a very rootable player. A super nice guy. I would like nothing more than for him to be a solid 2nd baseman for the Braves.
I’m not sure how we are being haters? I guess we can’t express disappointment with the team? This has been a frustrating season. Add last night to that list. Another brilliant start, another display of an anemic offense, another example of questionable managing from Bobby Cox, and another heartbreaking loss. That’s not hating, that’s the facts.
September 10th, 2009 at 12:15 pm
Ditto Curt. What he said. I don’t think it’s hate, rather passion. If Braves fans were more passionate about their team maybe more key moves would be made re: the skipper and big players with tiny bats. May the force be with you Tcc.
September 10th, 2009 at 1:11 pm
I remember the days of Frank LaCorte and Dave Bristol. You want frustration, try some of that.
September 10th, 2009 at 2:07 pm
So true, Chris in Boston. How about Biff Pocoroba? Nick Esasky? We could go on all day.
September 10th, 2009 at 3:06 pm
Ah, Biff Pocoroba. He was one of my favorites. I love the Braves.
September 10th, 2009 at 7:23 pm
You guys should change the post season hope meter to a finish above .500 hope meter.
September 10th, 2009 at 9:11 pm
D. Lowe being true to form. Allowing the bad guys to accomplish the improbable.
September 10th, 2009 at 11:20 pm
If Tejada had won the game in walk off fashion two nights in a row I literally would have cried. Nobody knows what I’m talking about because you all had better things to do with your time which makes me feel a bit like a loser. Go Braves!
September 11th, 2009 at 12:24 am
Just came to say hey.
Hey.
(seriously, are we like on a complete losing streak or something? Nobody’s being very detailed and I refuse to go to any other blogs… it’s all so mysterious this way.)
Leah, having nothing better to do with your time than take in baseball is the American Dream. I just ain’t there yet.
September 11th, 2009 at 6:36 am
Hate???? the only hatred on this board is our collective hatred of losing, hatred of not living up to obvious potential, hatred of ESPN, and my personal hatred of Hamilton and everthing he stands for, his family, and his ancestors, the Hugenots who burned our village. other than that ABT is a love fest, a fount of mirth.
September 11th, 2009 at 6:45 am
oh, and nice win today…!!!
…hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way….the time is gone, the season is over, thought id something more to say..
