TWiB: 7/12-7/16

Recommended Posts

I haven't been watching the Braves-Friars game. I just turned it on to see the Braves blow it, but I did hear that the Braves blew a 5-1 lead. Is that...correct?

 

Yeah. They were up four before the first out was recorded and even though the Padres kept in it, the Braves added on a run here or there to stay ahead until it was notched up at eight.

Yep. Knew it. So, there's been a total of 4 blown saves in 2 innings now...I bet this goes to at least 15 innings. How long till Bobby Cox starts warming up starters?

This is like a little league game. A bad little league game.

 

At least with little leaguers you can applaud their effort and they're generally happy if they get cookies afterwards. The guys involved in this game are getting paid for this shit. If the Braves blow this 3 run lead they should just forfeit their remaining ~70 games.

He's the one who kept him in there to blow the game...twice.

 

He had one pitcher left, so I don't think he wanted to burn out his bullpen. Poor Bobby.

 

In the Braves defence, it is 2:30 am Atlanta time, so I give them credit for not giving them the game.

I've seen about 80 Braves games where they take the lead in the top of the inning and then blow it one inning later.

 

Hasn't that happened basically every game this season?

 

And damn looking at that box score I wish I'd been able to watch yesterday's game, looks like a total mess of a game all around.

Can someone please give me a complete analysis of the White Sox. They are about to lose their 5th straight to the combo of the Red Sox and Yankees.

I was on vacation for a week.

 

SIDNEY PONSON?

 

Ponson is the new Mussina?

 

 

I tried...

 

Nice stomping of the White Sox today though.

Bedard is on his way to win #11.

 

and Ponson to the Yankees is going to be hillarious from an Os fan's perspective.

 

 

The past decade and the 1996 ALCS was and has been hiliarious from a Yankee fan's perspective.

Braves are up 11-3 with 4 outs to go, which of course isn't safe with this bullpen, especially since Smoltz is in line for the win, but ignoring that Chipper Jones is now the all time Atlanta hits leader. He'll never even come close to the franchise title, but still good for him.

Braves win and are 5 1/2 back of the wildcard. I don't see us getting it this year, but at least there's still a decent chance of it. We just need 11 runs every night and we're set.........to win maybe 60% of the remaining games. Damn bullpen.

damn red sox win 7-0. well I guess they got to just keep pace here. screw the WC I think most yanks fans would agree, we want the division

 

 

dont know how, but they are going ot need to make some kind of move, and the Ponson thing isnt it.

Jon Miller thinks one of the reason Hernandez may have struggled tonight is cause the Mets catcher's last name is Castro.

 

No, I'm not making that up.

That is why Jon Miller is the greatest TV baseball broadcaster in the game today.

Super Mariano with his 400th career save.

Indeed.

 

I believe this is the first sweep for the Yanks this season. 1/2 game back from Boston.
