Cubs @ Braves: Game 3... Sigh

Chicago Cubs @ Atlanta Braves


I'm not real excited about this game... not excited at all. I'm pretty sure that we left our offense in Arizona, or we somehow lost it on the plane ride to Atlanta. Perhaps we checked it through and Delta somehow lost our offense. Either way I think every effort should be made to find our offense and insert it back into our lineup.

The jury may still be out on Tommy returning next year

But they are just trying to convince the last guy to cave.

Yeah

Captain “3U” is really winning over hearts and minds in Georgia….

Yeah I guess OK too

Just thought I’d give GA some credit for being homebase.

gawd, please let it flow to my lips

I love the Braves, don’t get me wrong, but I feel like I have the worst f*cking hangover watching these guys play.

FYF should apologize to the fans after each bad pitch he swings at. Then do 100 push ups. Will that work?

We are still in this and your presence is obviously the root of our issues.

Misspelled Matt Cain’s last name on the pitching matchup graphic.

Thank You

Since I have moved to Florida and can no longer watch games, the Braves are doing well and now Kotsay with the Cycle.

You’re all welcome.
