This lineup for the Mets today got 8 hits, 3 walks and 4 runs off of Anibal Sanchez, you know the guy who had like a no-hitter through 5 or something against us. Pathetic.
August 27th, 2009 at 2:40 pmSeriously, you can’t get swept by the Padres ever Thread.
August 27th, 2009 at 2:45 pmRon E. -from previous thread: you’re dreaming man. No one takes Lowe’s contract.
August 27th, 2009 at 2:56 pmBraves lineup:
Diaz 9
August 27th, 2009 at 2:58 pmPrado 4
Chipper 5
McCann 2
Escobar 6
Anderson 7
LaRoche 3
Infante 8
Vazquez 1
Braves recalled Buddy Carlyle and optioned Manny Acosta to Gwinnett. Can we get Kenny Powers instead?
August 27th, 2009 at 3:04 pm“Commodore Perrying” was quite an amusing turn of phrase. Kudos.
August 27th, 2009 at 3:11 pmTim Hudson will start in Kawakami’s place vs. Marlins on Monday
August 27th, 2009 at 3:11 pm#6 – good, Im tired of Acosta. BTW, Hudson is starting on Monday apparently and Kawakami is getting pushed to the pen. I guess the 6th inning yesterday made that decision for them
August 27th, 2009 at 3:23 pmTim Hudson to start for Braves’ Monday | ajc.com
August 27th, 2009 at 3:25 pmI think we already got the word from spicegirl there Mac.
August 27th, 2009 at 3:34 pmLets go for the sweep! No wait, I got that backwards didn’t I
August 27th, 2009 at 4:21 pmRight-handed starter Rich Harden and right-handed reliever Aaron Heilman have been claimed on waivers, according to major-league sources.
I’d have to have a go on Harden. He could be very good for somebody.
August 27th, 2009 at 4:28 pmI’m confused. Are they going to send someone down to the minors so Hudson can come up a day before rosters expand?

August 27th, 2009 at 5:07 pmMy guess is they’ll designate Reid Gorecki on the 31st for Hudson (clears a 25-man and a 40-man spot) then activate McLouth when the rosters expand a day later.
@14: They’ve got to make sure Hudson is eligible to be on the postseason roster.
August 27th, 2009 at 5:08 pm#4 – I seem to recall being assured here that Francoeur couldn’t be traded either and yet Wren not only traded him but got Ryan Church for him. $16 million is a lot to the Braves but it would make Lowe only the 3rd highest paid starting pitcher on the Yankees rotation.

August 27th, 2009 at 5:18 pmCashman has a brain. The jury’s still out on the same question about Minaya.
He’s our 16 million dollar 5th starter. Might as well get used to it. At the time of the signing everyone acknowledged that we overpaid. And we’ll keep overpaying for the next 3 seasons.
I think that everyone was saying that Francouer couldn’t be traded for anything of value. Well Wren had pictures of Minaya.
August 27th, 2009 at 5:28 pmBy the way, excellent song choice.
August 27th, 2009 at 5:40 pmThanks for the video, Mac.
August 27th, 2009 at 5:40 pmnot that it matters, but Lowe makes $15 mil
August 27th, 2009 at 6:35 pmThat’s prob one of the worst videos I’ve ever seen in my life. I couldn’t make out one word of what Dylan was singing… it just sounded like a Cri du chat baby
August 27th, 2009 at 6:37 pmwell Col and Fla have both lost, it would be nice to get a win
August 27th, 2009 at 6:40 pmJust found/stumbled across this web site… what a great resource, especially for far-flung ATL fans like myself. (I now live in CA.) I’ll be back, for sure. Can’t believe the way the Braves dropped the first two games to Friars. That may have just killed them, sadly.
August 27th, 2009 at 7:48 pmHope this isn’t the new trend. Lose the first two then win the third.

August 27th, 2009 at 7:53 pmYou have to understand the lyrics to be able to enjoy music?
Nobody posting tonight?
August 27th, 2009 at 7:59 pmthose are some ugly uni’s there. are there any worse in baseball? I mean they’re not wearing shorts but seriously. who came up with pee colored togs?
August 27th, 2009 at 8:02 pmI am glad we have solved the puzzle known as the San Diego Padres
August 27th, 2009 at 8:03 pmis anyone else seriously impressed with matt diaz in the leadof spot? i really like it, although he will be quickly removed when nate gets back.
August 27th, 2009 at 8:23 pmSo, when only factoring in time spent as an Atlanta Brave, guess who has the lowest average in that lineup (besides the pitcher).
Ans. Chipper Jones
August 27th, 2009 at 8:24 pmBTW, David Adam Laroche’s line as a Brave:
.385/.473/.679/1.153
August 27th, 2009 at 8:29 pm@27:
As a death metal fan, I can assure you that you don’t.
August 27th, 2009 at 8:35 pm@31
I’m more “pleasantly surprised” than “seriously impressed”.
August 27th, 2009 at 9:08 pm@34 and 27, Lennon pretty much said the same thing at one point in the rambling two-part interview from 1970 that Rolling Stone has up right now:

Interesting read (or listen).
August 27th, 2009 at 9:11 pmNick Green pitched two shutout innings for the Red Sox tonight. He’s been a been pitcher for Boston than Smoltz.
August 27th, 2009 at 9:18 pmWelcome back, Buddy.
