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.

Still not as high as Frenchy's LOB total.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
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...
...to find the choad that’s blowing a horn every time a Braves pitcher throws a pitch, and to take it, and break it like soap, with his knee.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Still no Chipper or Escobar...

My guess
The injury is okay enough for him to play, but the attitude is making Bobby give him another day.
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.
- Oh, Bobby. -
Sweet!
Just checked out freebaseballradio.com Good times.! Too bad I know I can’t use it at work (damn streaming media firewall).
fucking horn
I want to shove that down his throat

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.
Don't you know?
We have a quota—at least one nobody per week has to be made out to seem like Cy Young.
- Oh, Bobby. -
This does not look good
Poor Bennett – not only is he overworked, he gets thrown into the Canadian soup like this. Bobby must hate him.
I'm listening to the game on the radio,
but I have a sneaking suspicion Eckstein leaned into that one.
He's the man, I done told you...
62 RBIs, daaaaaaaaaaaaarn!

Damn
Teix is the man, ‘nough said.

Shoooooooooot
Darn

"Great extension on that swing"
It’s like a nice way of saying “Acosta threw a crappy breaking ball”
"You never know what I'm going to do..."
- Michael Vick (Palm Beach Post 11/6/2005)
We could have/should have picked up Eckstein

Anyone want to fly to Toronto with me tonight?
I believe I want to commit some sort of bodily harm crime to A-cost-us.
If we don't score another run
It won’t have made a difference…That and Acosta has had some solid performances as of late. I don’t understand all the hatred being directed at the kid. So what if he isn’t as solid as the CURACAO KID?!
"You never know what I'm going to do..."
- Michael Vick (Palm Beach Post 11/6/2005)
You’re right. I’m just aggravated overall. Just when it looks like we may be getting somewhat better, we have a game that sucks.
Be patient
The game isn’t over yet
"You never know what I'm going to do..."

6 earned runs
Charged to Hudson. Yet you make no mention of hurting him.

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
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?
Could climb climb climb!
If he gets his head right.

Manny
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.
"You never know what I'm going to do..."
- Michael Vick (Palm Beach Post 11/6/2005)
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.
"You never know what I'm going to do..."
- Michael Vick (Palm Beach Post 11/6/2005)
F*** our offense
"You never know what I'm going to do..."

Or that damn cow in the Ted
I mean, come on, wasn’t the Ted commercialized enough? I agree with Hoss, it’s tacky. IMO, it’s bad mo jo.

I haven't seen it in person yet,
does it really do the chop?

No, and it's freakin' huuuuuuuuge. Like it's bigger than the Coke bottle. On the plus side...
There is now a Chick-Fil-A in the stadium. Those chicken sandwiches are off the hook!

I think we should spend more money
hiring more tomahawk girls

I concur
No more “Thank God I’m a Country Boy” though. It’s like Liberty Media doesn’t have a soul or something.

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!
