PrintWashington Nationals at Atlanta Braves, Oct 1, 2009 7:10 PM EDT
It's October baseball!!! But not the kind we were hoping for. This may be the last game we can "believe" in this year. I'd like to see Tommy Hanson finish strong.
Current Series

The Rockies just clinched.

Give em hell tonight, Tommy.

Well heck-fire...
…I didn’t realize they were playing this afternoon. I’m sort of glad I didn’t know.
Let’s get started on our next winning streak.
Indeed, it WILL be us.

Yes, be happy you didn’t know. It was sad when they clinched the WC. I still held out hope, even though I knew deep down, it probably wasn’t going to happen.
I’m looking forward to next year, when we start the streak of winning the East, once again!
Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.
I am very proud of my braves this year. They fought til the end where alot of people counted them out. I am very proud of calling them my team.
Personally, I refuse to eat fish of any kind until Spring Training.
I’m here to enjoy the last 4 games to the fullest because for me it will be a long winter without baseball and I’ll be counting the days until April.
I hope Tommy has a great game tonight and Chipper ends the year with those 20 homers to set the ML record of 15 straight years doing so.
Good start Tommy!
Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.
Question: Church in the lineup tonight – why the HELL didn’t he pinch hit last night instead of Norton?
Congrats GA on 2500 hits!!!
Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.
Never get to see Church play
and he gets walked ….

Whew, I was starting to think I was the only one here.
It was getting embarrassing being the only one posting LOL.
I’m here too. Just kinda lurking. :P
"My God! Good news fans, the Braves are showing signs of life for the first time in weeks. As a matter of fact, they appear to be beating the crap out of each other."
Yes, Tommy is the real deal!
I look forward to watching him pitch for years to come :)

in pinstripes? :P
"My God! Good news fans, the Braves are showing signs of life for the first time in weeks. As a matter of fact, they appear to be beating the crap out of each other."
No!," We should have Dunn comments", Yes, just a few of us on here tonight! :)

LOL!!! GET OUT OF MY MIND!!!!
"My God! Good news fans, the Braves are showing signs of life for the first time in weeks. As a matter of fact, they appear to be beating the crap out of each other."
If only we’d had Dunn……..nah.

It would be foolish to think he wouldn’t have made a positive difference….but hindsight is 20/20.
"My God! Good news fans, the Braves are showing signs of life for the first time in weeks. As a matter of fact, they appear to be beating the crap out of each other."
I hope the fact that we play down to bad teams, is addressed in the off season :(
Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.
Is that really something you can address though? It’s not really a personnel issue. More of a reflection of in-season circumstances I suppose.

hello all
i see nasty nate may be returning to form?
Baseball is a game where a curve is an optical illusion, a screwball can be a pitch or a person, stealing is legal and you can spit anywhere you like except in the umpire's eye or on the ball.

Help me finish this:
There once was a team in Georgia,
Who played their ball with gloves and bats.
They came so close with post season hopes,

I'm posting this one more time....
because we didn’t start playing poorly untill this crap was started. Way to jinx us, marketing people. :-(

I’m pretty sure it’s because my panties were the wrong color.

Got the p in p going, Braves BB, and Col and West Virginia football, not that I am a fan of these football teams,
But, enjoy most all college games :)

Tommy worked a walk, yes ...
But then Nate, with a DP, No…
Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.
And Nate has said all along he is not comfortable as the lead off hitter...but
There he is, anyway :(

What’s the trick to posting a youtube link, please?

Can’t you just copy and paste the URL?

Click the little chain icon – post the URL into it, check “open in a new window”.
It should paste a link.
You get the URL for YouTube videos on the video page.
and it’s normal if i hit preview for the link to not show up?

MattyD interview, hard to watch, he blames himself :(

Matty is the Jesus of the group, but it’s totally a team loss (on the year). Still not a bad year. Too many missed chances.

I think we are still on FOX tomorrow too. It doesn’t mean as much now as when FOX picked it up though.

Football has taken over my HD channel on FSS.
I’m watching in normal TV, which sucks. LOL

Brooksy – Swing at crap – take a pitch down the middle.
Some things I’ll just never understand.
Anyone besides me having this freeze up and not allow posts?
No drama :)

I've lost faith in him as a closer :(
I know, he’s been overused, but that comes with the job of a closer

It might be more of a reflection on our inability to score alot this year.

Can we just get on the bus and take the Natinals back to their park to play the last 3?
We play like crap at home it seems – we do better on the road.
Our players look dead on the bench...
and on the field…
Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.
I would be too. It must be deflating to play so well for most of the month and then have it all rendered moot in the span of 48 hours.

Try this………mute the tv and play ‘disco heaven’ by lady gaga.

For shame.
