Philadelphia Phillies at Atlanta Braves, Jul 1, 2009 7:10 PM EDT
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.

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?
by JaeSlim on Jul 1, 2009 6:24 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
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.
by BigG1392 on Jul 1, 2009 6:26 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I agree, although I do not neccessarily agree with Yunel’s frosted tips……….we need him in the lineup.
by JaeSlim on Jul 1, 2009 6:28 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
yunell didn’t even really run hard on that ground out last night though. i don’t think jj should expect a whole lot of runs tonight from this line up. maybe i’ll be wrong. really need mac to step it up

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.

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

Monroe’s ISO is .139. FYF’s is .66. Yeah…thats depressing.

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.

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.

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.

Spot starter, pinch hitter, shift Prado to 3rd and start him when Chipper needs a day off…you cannot give up on him

Prado/Infante combo is way more productive any day. Don’t think he’ll be seeing much playing time any soon.

Bench players who only play one position and aren’t hitting aren’t particularly valuable.

but remember, according to the phillies announcers, we do not have the starting pitching to compete with the Muts and Phillies. In fact, we are about the 4th or 3rd best SP in the division.

in the 3rd inning the Thillies announcer said:
“Maybe the Braves will deal Escobar or Johnson for another starting pitcher or two. You can never have too many.”
STFU. You’re just mad cause the Phillies “ace” would be our 3rd or 4th starter.

Did you see that Rollins stupid snag yesterday was 2nd on Sport Center’s top 10, and that double play that Chipper Jones started wasn’t even shown as a highlight.

saw that...
if chipper played for Philly, NYY, NYM, LA or Chi, he would already be in the hall of fame.
