It's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything.
Welp, after an abysmal 0-7 roadtrip, and nine straight losses, I think we're close enough. As I said I would, if the Braves were to get swept by the Cards, I bring to you your official venting thread.
Rules: Yes, there are rules. Stick to baseball. Racist, homophobic, vulgar, and attacks to other members will not be tolerated. No dirty pictures. Stick. To. Baseball. Even post your most pointless animated gifs if you want to. This thread's getting deleted in 24 hours or unless someone else does it. STICK. TO. BASEBALL.
Anything deemed excessively inappropriate will be immediately deleted without explanation. Try not to white knight and incessantly challenge everyone's frustrated opinions, this time around - this is supposed to be therapeutic.
Have fun, get it all out, I know you're all frustrated and miserable about the current state of the Braves. We all are. But we're all (I hope) grown up (enough) to know our limits. It's not like I have to remind you three times (oops) to stick to baseball or anything.
Welcome to the Thunderdome.
Just to see if you're paying attention, and not rushing to whine, the first person I catch asking what happened to JJ/Jair/Jurrjens/the Kid from Curacao gets banned.

Maybe that’s what the Braves need, to play some patsies just to feel what winning feels like again. But then again, if they lose, then that’s a huge blow.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Who said anything about patsies?
They’re actually a pretty good peewee team; they’re certainly staying competitive in their league.
But yeah, can you imagine when Glaus gets K’d by a 12-year-old? Or KK gets shelled? LOLZ
I don't know
We are playing like a D League slow pitch softball team right now.

Also, to whoever it was that said “DAMN YOU DAVID FREESE!” in one of the threads Monday- good call, mate. Good call.
Yes...
And I was so glad we chose to load the bases and pitch to him after he had single-handedly provided a new pooping orifice to the Braves in this series and hit a 3-run HR in the 1st inning.

can anyone explain to me why our hitters are taking strike one and strike two and putting oursleves into bad hitting counts? On a side note, when I played baseball in high school as well as college, my coach always taught us that when you are in a slump, GO THE OTHER WAY, our hitters seem to want to hit 9 run home runs all the time!!!!!!
OH YEAH MASTERBLASTER IS UP IN HERE
HEY GLAUS BUDDY. I’VE BEEN ONE OF YOUR BIGGEST DEFENDERS. HOW ABOUT MAKING ME NOT FEEL LIKE A JERK SOMETIMES AND NOT STRIKEOUT OR GROUND INTO A DOUBLE PLAY. IT’S ALRIGHT JUST TO HIT A SINGLE, I PROMISE.

Right now, Atlanta sports is giving me nothing. I’d be more okay with the current losing streak if the Hawks were beating up on the Bucks, who don’t have a center, but they’re about to complete the most epic choke job ever. I need a Braves win now!
not to beat u while ur down, but the Bucks have a center Kurt Thomas…he is just a liability offensively. His defense is top notch

Something has to give…our team is too good to be slumping this bad, now I know how the nationals have felt being in the bottom of the east every year…hopefully we turn the page against the stros and may will be a great month cause that is what we need
That was a little different. They were SUPPOSED to finish last, everyone including them knew they had a dearth of talent. This team was supposed to compete, this is far worse.
yeah I agree, my question now is: Can the braves truly turn it around and be contenders by the end of may? My guess is yes we just all have to pray really hard and hope for the best!

fire everybody and start over!!!
Bobby this isn’t meant to be a victory lap. Step up and manage.
TP – are you even paying attention to the season?
Chipper catch the ball for crying out loud!
Glaus please quit.
Yunel take up on fly balls.
Glaus don’t hit into any more inning ending double plays. Just strike out in those situations so someone else can at least get a shot.
LOB is an awful stat.
Starting pitching from here on out you have at most 2 runs to work with. Yes there will be many errors so a no hitter might be useful.
Glaus field your position. I don’t care if Chipper doesn’t have the arm to get it to you…you’re a 1B man…scoop it.
TP seriously stop thinking this is the Bravos of the ’90’s…the 3 run bomb is dead in Atlanta.
Heap, I love ya buddy, but no more wild throws to 2nd and allowing the runner to advance to 3rd. Just let them go.
Timmy & Tommy you have permission to go on strike…I totally understand.
Does our OF go to the plate w/ a bat? If yes, why bother?
Prado for now on you must hit 2 – 8. I don’t expect you to hit leadoff becasuse noone can.
Errors. Wow the errors.
DLowe please make a charitable donation to the Atlanta Braves. You are stealing.
Chipper your big toe again? Come on!
Smoltz no more jokes. They aren’t funny.
KJ, Frenchy, Wainwright! Why why why why why why why why. (Ok on KJ and Frenchy).

This is always funny
Here are Pujols's stats: 1.000/1.000/4.000/5.000. That's right. He is batting a thousand, with a thousand OBP (naturally), and every hit has been a home run, and thus his OPS is a perfect 5.000.

everyone thought I was crazy last season
as much as I stuck up for KJ. You know, telling how good a player he already is and could grow to be, but that he just needed to play every day.
Now he’s playing everyday, even against (gasp!) lefties, and he’s hitting like Killing in the Name turned up to 11. Meanwhile, Adam LaRoche suddenly feels like hitting. I wouldn’t have minded signing him for another 2 years (which I also suggested).
So KJ has 9 homeruns, and Roachy has 4 for a total of 13. How many HR does our team have? The answer may not shock you. 12. Yes, that’s right, our two non-tenders have more homers than we do. I hate this. I hate this. I hate this.
I want to go back to August/Semtember of last season, when we were putting it altogether, and wheel that forward to now.

Fuck you Troy Glaus for being a fat fuck who can’t hit and is probably the worst defensive first baseman in the league. Seriously, you’re a professional athlete, why are you so fat?
Fuck you Chipper for being a lazy bum who can’t swing a bat without getting hurt. And you’re terrible at 3B. And a preemptive fuck you for not living up to your word and retiring after the shitty season that you will surely have.
Fuck you Yunel for never running out ground balls and doing something completely retarded at least once a game.
Fuck you Brian McCann for throwing every fucking ball into the outfield. Also, you’re fat too.
Fuck you Melky Cabrera for being an overrated piece-of-shit Yankee.
Fuck you Nate McLouth for giving us a fraction of the production that you put up in Pittsburgh. YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE GOOD.
Fuck you Derek Lowe, for obvious reasons.
Fuck you Kenshin Kawakami. How about pitching past the 5th inning for once, asshole.
Fuck you Jason Heyward, how many god damn times are you gonna look at two strikes right down the middle before you start swinging?
Fuck you Bobby Cox. You have always been a horrible manager and continue to make horrible game and lineup decisions. But you’ve been around forever and lucked in to having the best players for 10 years so everybody thinks you’re good. You’re not.

B) I am still confused by your statement about watching the Braves 18 times, which is why I replied to said statement. If he went to all of the nats games in person instead of watching the Braves on MLB.TV, how would he still watch the Braves 18 times?

My Rant. (Warning foul language and bad grammar)
Braves learn the fundamentals of Baseball.
To Bobby Cox, why are you talkin shit to the most productive player on the team in Heyward. He is leading the team in HR and RBI while being a FUCKING Rookie! Wow this team stinks. Bobby, why the fuck did you pitch to Renty back in the SF game. We all knew he was hot as hell at the moment, why the fuck did you need to pitch to him at that particular moment. Bobby, why did you let Moylan pitch to a left handed bat in that critical situation during the Cards game the other night. You had 2 FUCKING LEFT HANDED PITCHERS in the bullpen. Use them for goodness sake. We were (and still) on a losing fucking streak. Try everything in your power to break it. DAMN!
Hey Frank Wren, great job finding that BIG BAT we needed. Glaus does not scare anybody except me when he comes up to the plate b/c I know he is going to do something to fuck up my day. We need a destroyer between Chipper and Mac and you did a poor job to fill that need.
To Chipper, you are 38 years old. Stop acting like a dumb ass teenager by trying to prove people wrong. If you are hurt, stay off the fucking field. You are a veteran ball player, you must have heard far worst shit about you than you being old and need to take care of your body. Grow the fuck up.
To Lowe, FUCK YOU!
To Escobar, get you head in the fucking game.
To the rest of the team, I know you probably have done something wrong that got my goat but I will not call you out at this moment b/c it would be just petty.
I feel bad for KK, Huddy, and Hanson. They are pitching their asses off to only get let down by shitty run support.
And to Lowe once again, FUCK YOU!

The only comfort I have is that if we do end up turning this season around, it’ll be a lot sweeter. Unfortunately, that possibility fades away just a little bit with each loss.

It’s not like our AAA team got no-hit or that any of our other minor league teams are struggling at the plate.
New Plan: Anthony Rendon
the chipper jones era at 3b is over.
tank the rest of the season to draft anthony rendon.

If the Braves do stay this bad and have a really high pick in the 2011 draft, my guess is they’ll take Matt Purke.
They wanted him last year, Liberty Media wouldn’t give ’em the money.

If God forbid we tank this year and we get the No. 1 pick, there is NO WAY we pass on Rendon.

This team is making it awfully hard to be upbeat. Then I think back to how crushed I was in 1991, and how much shit I took after game 7 when I talked A LOT of shit after the 13-5 pounding the Braves delivered to the Twins in game 5, and this suddenly seems pretty mild in comparison.
Then when you add in 1992, 93, 96, 97, 98, 00, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05 (Go fuck a kite Chris Burke) this is like a hangnail being compared to open heart surgery.

after last years playoff push was over i had an empty feeling in my stomach. i knew we could be good this year and our offseason moves, in my opinion confirmed that. i spent my entire spring break in FL watching this team who was dominating. i was on this site every day in spring training counting down the days till the season started.
On April 5th I made a 11 hour round trip to see opening day and it was the most fucking awesome game i have ever seen. when we went to 8-5 I knew we were headed for greatness. I couldnt even do homework bc I was so pumped about watchin the game that night.
Now 9 days later look how that has all changed. I sit thru a daily load of shitty classes only to come back in time to see our asses get destroyed. Its fucking pathetic. My roomate is a Tigers fan from Michingan and he gets to see awesome offense nightly and its the fucking Tigers who suppose to finish in the basement of the AL central.
I couldnt wait to get home to Chattanooga and drive down and watch this team several times a week like i’ve done every year in the past but i feel like thats fucked now.
And the worst part about all is this team has the potential to be awesome. I know that from career stats and watching them dominate the grapefruit league. This is bullshit
that's pretty damn stupid to ban...

A lotta room in right-center, if he hits one there we can dance in the streets. The 2-1. Swung, line drive left field! One run is in! Here comes Bream! Here's the throw to the plate! He is...safe! Braves win! Braves win! Braves win! Braves win!...Braves win! They may have to hospitalize Sid Bream; he's down at the bottom of a huge pile at the plate. They help him to his feet. Frank Cabrera got the game winner! The Atlanta Braves are National League champions again! This crowd is going berserk, listen!

These past games - one word comes to mind: Clusterfuck.
Sort of like THIS.

Dear Troy Glaus, please continue with the short stroke. Trying to kill everything like you were a week ago was not working out, but lately you have been hitting and getting on base, and I like that. Gotta work on that D though.
Dear Martin Prado, you are no Kelly Johnson, but I am damned glad that you are our second baseman. Start hitting again.
Dear Chipper Jones, WTF? Are you hurt or not? If yes, sit out. Fuck Brian Jordan and his younger than you but retired ass.
Dear Yunel Escobar, where did you go? I have not seen Yunel Escobar all season. Please come back.
Dear Brian McCann, please please please please learn to play some D.
Dear Jason Heyward, please sign an extension that lets us buy out your arbitration years and at least 1 FA year. Also, please get your plate discipline back.
Dear Nate McLouth, WTF?
Dear Matt Diaz, WTF?
Dear Melky Cabrera, WTF?
Dear Bobby Cox, WTF?
Dear Eric Hinske, Baller.
Dear TC Posters, I hope you get all of this shit out of your systems – especially the ridiculousness.

Well Shit! I was pissed last year with the season ending 6 game losing streak.
I’m not so pissed now for some reason, I have said it before and I’ll say it again I AM SORRY BOBBY CAME BACK THIS YEAR!! I said before, he cost this team a bunch of games last year. Can’t quantify it, but how many games did we lose just because of fucking Norton last year? How many games did we lose because Bobby wouldn’t pull a pitcher having a meltdown and how many games did we lose because he kept playing the same relievers till they were tired. Don’t even want to get into how many games did we lose because he left Frenchy, Schafer and KJ in the fucking games. HOW FUCKING MANY GAMES DID WE FUCKING LOSE? How many games are we going to lose this year because of the same shit? Not to mention Frank Wren and let’s get every cheap player we can! SHIT MOTHERFUCKER PISSSSSSS and WHAT THE FUCK DID I SAY THAT IS UNTRUE AND RIDICULOUS? Other than my poor attitude of course.

How many games did we lose because of Bobby?
I’d be willing to bet that it was less than the MLB average for all other managers.

I don’t think that’ll happen until you post Kelly Johnson’s stats for us one more time. We’re dying to know.

I'm mired down in finals
and one of the few things giving me hope was the thought of going to Braves games once I got home. Instead it’s beginning to look like another summer of futility.
Fucking shit.
"Hey Honey, could you fist the salt over here?"
Ugh finals...
mine start mid-next week. I’m scared.

Why scared?
Are you unprepared? Is your future livelihood hinging upon getting a perfect score on all the exams? Actually, that would kinda suck….
