Boston Red Sox at Atlanta Braves, Jun 27, 2009 4:10 PM EDT
Today's game will be an interesting contrast between two pitchers whose styles are complete opposites. On one side for the Red Sox is Tim Wakefield, who doesn't throw a pitch over 85mph, yet he's 9-and-3 on the year at age 42. On the other side for the Braves is the power pitcher Javier Vazquez, who is second in the league in strikeouts.
Power vs. off-speed trickery.

Red Sox lead the series 1-0

Such a shame i won’t be getting this game on FOX today. I get the Dodgers/DBacks game. Hey, maybe ill watch the Dodgers, take notes on how to build a winning team, and send it to Frank Wren!
Not to mention, the Thillies are already up 10-0 in the 5th. Heres hoping they get really hot right before they play us.

Interesting tidbit from DOB.
Escobar is hurt, but is he hurt enough to be out again today? if given choice, he’d almost certainly be in there. But he wasn’t given choice.
Cox won’t talk about it, but I think benching him is an effort to send a signal that the immaturity is unacceptable, but in Cox’s way, avoiding throwing him under the bus by using the injury (which is real, but might not be real bad) as an excuse.
Again, Cox won’t talk about it.
But teammates and team officials are frustrated by his immaturity and wish he’d just play the game and cut out the little stuff that looks bad, particularly not being ready for the next couple of plays while pouting the other night after the E6.

he definitely needs to grow up..
i hate to say this but do you guys think he could be a cancer? i mean i know when he’s on he’s a good player along with a good hitter..but i don’t care how my bitchyness is about crappy play from francouer..atleast the guy stays positive and is a role model in character FOR THE MOST part. A crappy hitters one thing..but a cancers another. Even Ty Cobb was liked by his teammates..mostly because they weren’t the ones getting spiked when he slid, and he was too good to hate him, if he was on your team.

McLouth – solid

Chipper – solid
McCann – solid
FUGA – solid
Kotchman – solid
FYF – abysmal
KJ – abysmal right now
KJ’s numbers indicate he will turn it around. Chipper and Mac are slumping right now, but you know they will be back. Everyone else is solid. We do only need 1 bat – to replace FYF.

We have a RISP. They have us right where they want us.

big joe no hard feelings..
we just don’t see eye to eye..and i don’t take well to being mocked or made fun of..i’ve played baseball all my life, year round, travel ball, you name it up until last year when i graduated college and i have always been the biggest fan of the braves..but management is lacking the past 2 years for sure.

Wait, I just thought of something positive!
I didn’t waste 3 hours of my life watching the Braves once again FAIL.
Instead, I fixed a home cooked meal for my hubby only checking the TV intermittently.
Until they can field a team that seems to give a damn, I will find it hard to.

Is there a bigger tool in baseball than Papelbon?
I mean the guy is a great closer but he’s the douchebag frat boy from college who was always drunk and an asshole because he thought everyone else thought it was funny, but instead they just thought he was obnoxious. Don’t you just kind of get that feeling?

I do get that feeling about him all the time.

Ok, so, we suck. (minus the pitching, of course)

Anyone happen to know our record in 1 run games?
I’d guess it isn’t to good.
by blitzerlover on Jun 27, 2009 7:59 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Well thats an improvement over last year how many straight 1 run losses we have last year? Our team had a MLB record of that.
I dont think no matter who we end up gettin is gonna make much difference. We got McLouth and he has been good for us but we still have black hoes in this lineup, and i dont see how we can get better offensively without givin up a Vazquez or somethin like that THEN even if we scored 2 runs today havin traded Vaz the person in Vaz place PROLLY gives up more than 2 runs today or at least has a chance at it. Seems like it might be hopeless for this team for the year, i just logically cannot come up with a solution and say YES this will improve us and help us have a great chance at the playoffs. We just have too many holes in our lineup.

logic fail
we acquired Nate without giving up Vaz. We don’t have to trade Vaz to get a bat. We don’t need a Beltran-ish bat, we need another McLouth-type bat and we will be fine.
