Pretty sure you are in charge of NAHWAL, open threads, previews, recaps, view from your seat and answering the phone that week.

Heyward is pretty good

And I in Minnesota shortly thereafter.

Life is good for us out of town Braves fans. Sometimes interleague is a good thing.

I know we have been on a roll lately but

is anyone else concered with our struggles against lefties like Duke or Moyer,

by bravesforever16 on May 24, 2010 9:17 PM EDT reply actions

Moyer was before Hinske entered the lineup and Heyward moved up to 2nd. Duke was facing an AAA lineup. I don’t think there’s much reason for concern.

No, couldn’t have been a AAA lineup. One day JJ will pitch for that lineup. So clearly it must have been our A lineup

Joe Morgan: "Yeah, I was walking around [Times Square] and I saw one [a naked cowgirl]"
John Miller: "We need to get you an iPhone so you get get a photo next time you see one"

Just when you thought they couldn't get any stupider....

Hinske wouldn’t have played against Moyer.

such a sloooooooooooooooow day at the 'chop

braves quote for the day?

by MacsGlasses on May 24, 2010 9:44 PM EDT reply actions

Not much going on at all. DOB just talked about McLouth’s struggles and there’s some stuff on Resop on MLBTR. That’s about it.

Not having read it, is DOB aware that Nate’s starting to swing the bat a lot better?

Now if only Escobar could get back on track

DOB was talking about how McLouth has struggled since coming over from Pittsburgh.

Yeah, of course he just throws out stats since the Braves acquired him, and makes no mention at all of the leg injuries from last year, or the eye issues that were discovered after the season. I think Bradley is starting to rub off on him, it was a real Debbi Downer of a column.

Shouldn't Brent Clevlen get a shot in LF before...awww, forget it!
