Atlanta Braves at Florida Marlins, Jul 23, 2008 7:10 PM EDT
Damn! I think I just got myself in the mood for sushi tonight.
If I say that the Braves "need" to win this game does that mean they'll play "extra" hard?
I'm trying a new thing and putting the game thread up at the exact time the game starts to see if this lineup feature works or not. I've got to finally give all these newfangled SBN features a full shaking out.

Nah, he'll get a ND
because the bullpen will cough it up after Bobby pulls him out for a PH in order to try and “spark” the offense.

Bobby
Did anyone happen to see Bobby get ejected on Sunday (which led to the suspension last night)? I missed it. What was the BFD?
by davesawyer on Jul 23, 2008 8:10 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
he didn’t do anything bad, he was tossed the moment he walked out of the dugout. it was a bullshit call, a bullshit ejection, and a bullshit suspension
by bigjoe on Jul 23, 2008 8:13 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I figured he had punched an ump out or something. Damn – a game suspension sounds heavy handed.
Thanks for the update.

Yes
jug was there with practically a front row seat – see his post (Two tickets to paradise…) for pic.
Apparently Gucci shrunk the strike zone for Buddy. Like bigjoe just wrote: total BS…

Jordan Schafer
Is now hitting .209 with a 715 OPS for Mississippi.
Can you honestly give him the job next year?
I don’t think so. I say Jordan needs to start next year in AAA.
The outfield is looking GREAT for next year…...
by NEBravesFan33 on Jul 23, 2008 8:16 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
i say he needs to start next year back in mississippi. all he’s proven is that he can take a walk. thats it. i’d love to see an OF of him & heyward in MISS next year…that might be enough to get me down there
by bigjoe on Jul 23, 2008 8:16 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Heyward will be
in Myrtle Beach to start next year, by the time he gets to Mississippi, Schafer better be in ATL or at least AAA.
by NEBravesFan33 on Jul 23, 2008 8:21 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
him & freeman could probably skip myrtle with the way they’re hitting in rome this season. oh jeezus, i just realized that a possible OF is schafer, hernandez, & heyward. dear lord in heaven would that rule hard

Makes you hope and pray that Huddy is okay. He is JUST as valuable as Chipper.

Friday's lineup should be
Blanco, Yunel, Mac, Teix, Kelly, and who ever else after them IF Chipper is going to be out for awhile.
Just getting sick of Bobby putting Kelly in the three hole when imo, Mac should be the 3rd place hitter when the lineup is lineup Chipperless…....hahahaha…
