I don’t see royhobbs yet, but I do see Brandy, one of my usher friends…and a bunch of other people going, “wtf, down runs in the first inning again?”

he’s been with the team a month and a half, and he just got his first homer? wow

He did miss a few weeks with his mom in the hospital

its great to see him coming around, he seems like a good fella, plus we kinda need him. Everything you read about him says he’s more of a gap hitter than a home run guy.

Plus i would say the long homer drought was just trying to fit in with his new team.

Since its a slow night..

I’m too excited about it not to share. I won this on ebay last week for $51, and it came today. Its new, and still has an SRP tag on it for $350 bucks. The seller has to be pissed.

WOW!!

Congrats! That is awesome.

ebay is a funny thing

I still have no idea why it went so cheap. Maybe its the high starting bids, but you can’t a regular Braves replica jersey for $50. I mean i know Babe Ruth’s tenure with the Braves was a joke, but who cares?

They seem a little confused

on the radio. I couldn’t run into the other room fast enough to see it on TV

Anderson’s hitting going south. Plus a couple bobbles in the field. Not a good night.

We should have learned our lesson with FYF.

Do NOT fall in love with a player based on the half season he plays when nobody knows him.

i do hate it when likable people don’t come through. But for some reason Francouer’s struggles don’t bother me. I’m ready for him to leave.

Ding Ding Ding

Maybe its the golden child status. The fact that he’s above everyone (Kelly in particular) when it comes to playing time. But alot of that falls on bobby i guess.

Corky’s swan song. Good to see Sammons getting that experience.
