Atlanta Braves at Toronto Blue Jays, Jun 28, 2008 1:07 PM EDT
Let's celebrate another day of making fun of foolish people and their silly universal health care.

Also, the next person who utters the phrase "Curacao Kid" will be shot.

How ‘bout that Kid from Curacao! (Creative word-order switching…)

Still not as high as Frenchy's LOB total.

We’ll have some first hand info today as my brother is at the game. He’s down the right field line near the pole, good position to, as he put it “see which suckass is warming up in the bullpen, and boo Frenchy at the same time.”

Tell your brother...

Esco
Is he still inured or is this still the attitude problem?
by gondeee on Jun 28, 2008 1:11 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
My guess
The injury is okay enough for him to play, but the attitude is making Bobby give him another day.
by VegasAces on Jun 28, 2008 1:44 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I dunno...
This team is pretty thin right now. If he could play, he’d be playing. The Braves could fine him for his attitude.

Why does it seem like we get a lead, then give it right back, every day? (Yesterday notwithstanding.)
Also, Eckstein makes for an annoying at bat.

Well, if FYF was anywhere near decent, he’d be there I’m sure. Still, Heap might be the better option.

OK...I like GNortony in a lineup...
full of young players…particularly a lineup where the youngsters are filling in for starters. But I can’t bat him in front of Heap….EVER! Heap can hit anybody…Bobby’s L/R matchup formula bites us more often than helps it seems this season.

Poor Bennett – not only is he overworked, he gets thrown into the Canadian soup like this. Bobby must hate him.

the .158 hitter seemed overmatched with the 92+ fastballs…why speed his bat up?

My take on Manny...
plus fastball (just recorded 97)...plus change (just recorded 83)...minus location. He’s learning the hard way…and it hurts me too
by OntheGo on Jun 28, 2008 3:59 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
He should not be in the majors right now.

It is indeed difficult to make mid-season adjustments
as a young player in key positions both offensively (see FYF) or defensively/pitching (see Manny). The question is…do you take the chance for them to learn how to make such adjustments away from them in the first half of the season and contending?

Okay, I rescind everything I just said. I am just a firm believer in mo jo. You don’t curse a player until he isn’t in the game anymore in my opinion.

There, I told y'all
See it makes no difference that Acosta sucks at life from time to time. Why? Because our offense is more sporadic than, I don’t know, a five year with ADD. Bottom line: Acosta may not always perform up to par, but he is losing us less games than our offense.

Acosta's ERA is 4.69...
and why would ring have more innings than him? He is a lefty specialist.

Why would Ring have more innings than Acosta? Ring is a LOOGY!!

Acosta doesn't have the highest ERA
AND he has pitched more innings than Ohman and Ring.

Acosta
I’m always one that will give players the benefit of the doubt until there is just no hope left. I’m sorry….if Manny Acosta throws a fastball clocked at 230 mph, it would still wind up in the gap as a 2 run double. The guy is terrible and sadly I haven’t seen anything the entire season that would make me think otherwise. He may do just fine in the non-pressure games, but he is one of the worst I have ever seen when the game is close.

Although nothing really suprises me this season anymore,
Have to admit I’m still distraught that we scored 5 runs and Huddy was starting and still lost!
