It's July! We survived June without too much damage. The Braves always seem to suck it up in June, at least in recent years. The Surgeon is on the mound tonight against Whole Camels.

Lineup
1. Blanco
2. Prado
3. Jones
4. McCann
5. Diaz
6. Kotchman
7. Francoeur
8. Hernandez
9. Jurrjens
Where is Nasty Nate
I was under the impression Nate would be ready to go. Is Bobby also punishing Yunel….he seemed fine last night?
Well if he’s punishing Yunel by playing Diory, he may as well be punishing the team by keeping one of their top offensive performers from playing.
Good questions
I’m assuming both guys are just dealing with nagging stuff. I know Bobby puts people in the doghouse, but I hope he wouldn’t sacrifice the best interest of the team.
FYFs LOBs
did you get that line up from gameday on the braves sight?
yeah i did
Is there a chance it’s wrong? I kind of hope so.
Imagine if Infante was healthy
I think he missed his big chance with Kelly slumping, not that he won’t be used wen he comes off the DL
For Everyone's Amusement
Great, the F’ing Pirates just DFA’d an outfielder who had higher OBP and SLG than Frenchy!
July 1 at 3:16pm CST – The Pirates released outfielder Craig Monroe. They designated him for assignment about ten days ago after a disappointing Pirates stint that saw him hit just .215/.287/.354.
Frenchy’s Stats: .251/.285/351
oh good lord
can we pick up Monroe off of waivers or is it too late? lol

By asset do you mean.....

He’s on a tear now…

Why is Escobar getting shit for “not running out that ground ball” last night when he was, you know, too hurt to play in the lineup? I don’t exactly think a strained hip flexor would let him burn his ass down the line to try to beat the ball out.
bigjoe, I was gonna try your Chicken Fried Rice tonight – but forgot to defrost the chicken. UGH, I will soon.
"Well behaved women rarely make history" ~ Laurel Ulrich
I did it last night…came out pretty well, aside from the fact that I threw a tad too much Texas Pete in it. No matter, still tasted great. And oh yeah, I forgot to cut the chicken right away so had to keep the rice in the pan for an extra minute while I did that…I can never do anything perfect. Oh well.
He was hitting ridiculously well in AAA, shockingly enough.

I still really like Kelly and think he could turn it around at some point.
Does he have any options left? Can we put him in AAA so he can maybe figure is stroke out and come back and be productive for us? He’s not doing anything for us or his trade value rotting on the bench.
Yes.
Bench players who only play one position and aren’t hitting aren’t particularly valuable.

For anybody interested in Yunel's PT of late...
They just said on the radio he’s been telling Bobby he can’t go.

One would note the team's given plenty of reason for that over the last few years.

We're that far from leading the division I think is what you mean.

THIS TEAM CANNOT CONTEND
We should have a fire-sale and trade Chipper to a team where he has a shot at the playoffs. Ship off Vazquez and get prospects for the future.\
This team is nothing more than a .500 team! THEY SUCK! Our offense is HORRIBLE!

Mamma always said, there are just some people that if you gave them a bowl of ice-cream it would be the wrong flavor.
I’m smiling about tonight and happy the team can celebrate a victory where they all contributed for a change.

Sounds like a plan!
Hubby comes home tomorrow night, and I’m hoping the Braves make it a good night all the way around!
