PrintSan Francisco Giants at Atlanta Braves, Aug 18, 2008 4:35 PM EDT
A business man's special afternoon game at the Ted today. The quote for the day is: "If we can't beat Barry Zito, then we really do suck."
In Jeff Francoeur's current string of good game / bad game, we're due for a good game today.

And it begins...
In 2 weeks we will be 3 games out of 1st!
Kotchman
Can we see if Scott Thorman wants to come back early from Beijing? At least when he makes contact, there is a chance the ball will be hit hard.
Some of yall are VERY VERY stupid
I mean I know that fans are irrational but come on now. Kotchman is coming to a NEW league and he is only 25 years old. Yes Tex came to a new league last year and dominated but Tex is completely different cause he IS better than Kotchman. Giving up on a young guy like Kotchman in a new league and with a new team before a month is severely STUPID. If im NOT mistaken I think Kotchman was among the leaders in hits for the Angels BEFORE he got traded if im not mistaken. He was top 3 at least.

But you have to admit...
he certainly hasn’t impressed. Oh well; that’s what the rest of this season is for: improvement!

true
but its not like every hitter on the team except Kotchman is tearin up the ball. Hopefully in September he heats up and shows people what he can do so that people will shut up about the guy.

kotchman lead the angels in at bats because he doesn’t know how to take a walk. so of COURSE he’ll have a good bit of hits. doesn’t make for a great average though.
Following the Braves...one long hard drink at a time.
Just
give the guy some time man. He is adjusting to a new league and a new team. His dad is a scout for the Angels and he was in there clubhouse when he was very young. The Angels organization was the only thing he knew. Just give him time man.

maybe CASEY KOTCHMAN SHOULD STOP ACTING LIKE A BABY
