Braves Win a Wild One 3-2, Melky for MVP

So what you’re saying is that the D-backs knew what they were doing when they intentionally walked Melky on Friday? Melky is a superbeast, he should be put down before he threatens all of humanity

I APPROVE OF THE MET STINK

jeez louise. it’s a W. lol. Go Braves

Our f**kup was better than their f**kup

tonight almost made me hate Melky even more

Great win. I love the pitching’s performance, especially. They allowed the offense to hang in there long enough to squeak out another run. Now let’s get the offense back in gear against the Reds and Aaron Harang-ry.

I was totally wrong on the Takashi Saito signing. I loved the Glaus signing and I understood the Javy deal after taking a step back and thinking about it, but I never liked the Saito deal and said he would be done a month or two into the season.

I’m glad I was wrong.

His 2 run homer got us to the ninth with a chance to win. Melky was just fat wide enough to get hit by Wright’s throw to first. lol

Heyward
McLouth
Prado
Melk-man

Medlen was awesome tonight. He kept the Mets off guard (except for those two solo shots) the whole night. I’m glad Glaus hit that monster HR off of Santana. Good to see the Powah! I wonder how long these good vibes will last. Anyway, tonight is one of the many reasons why you have to like the Braves team as it is.

This was an awesome birthday present.

it wasnt a HR but it was something

i’m going to the next to games with a friend of mine who is a die hard Cincinnati sports fan. The braves haven’t faired to well against the Reds the past few seasons, but I’m feeling a turn around starting tomorrow. Let’s destroy them so i will no longer have to hear him talk about the Reds beating the braves.

I’ve been advocating this guy to take Kawakami’s spot in the rotation and have got ripped. Well i’m here to do it again. Meds deserves another shot…he’s been excellent all year and the only thing that should keep KK in the rotation is Jurrjens’ injury. Meds has been pitching solid in big spots allseason – There’s a new giant-killer in Atlanta. He pitched incredible tonight and great against the Phillies…I thinks he’s earned a shot and his next start will mean a lot – it may win him a spot. I see KK got some new gold cleated ball shoes for tomorrow, someone should tell him new cleats don’t make a better ballplayer like a new golf club doesn’t make a better golfer and new skates don’t make a better hockey player. New shoes same results.

Looks like both New York teams lost to errors in the 9th inning.

Im not going to say that Medlen should immediately be in the rotation however i will say he deserves consideration when JJ is back if he has out pitched Lowe and KK. Whoever has done worse between Lowe and KK at that point should go to the pen.

However the downside to that is that Medlen hasnt really been stretched out and starting too much in his career and probably wouldnt be able to give us too many innings towards the end of the season. After the team shuts him down then what?

…the first time I’ve seen a play involving a collision, of any kid, at first base not go against the Braves. Time after time I’ve seen opposing runners get hit by throws while outside that stupid box and still be called safe while Braves runners are called out even if they are inside it. If there is a way for that play to go wrong, it has, more times than I could count. This was a very refreshing change.

Who knew Melky’s propensity to hit weak grounders would win us the game.

Watching Troy Glaus hit monster home runs – I love it. And normally watch the replay’s off his bombs at least a half-dozen times.

Players shouldn’t be rewarded for being LUCKY. He hit horribly in his 4 AB, not getting the ball out of the infield. He looks worse than Neifi Perez when swinging.

I know I’ve defended Melky before in this forum, but I can’t anymore. The guy looks off.
