Prado still batting second
:-/
My buddy and I just decided that the braves would be set if we could get Matt Kemp, Jose Reyes, and Albert Pujols.

We win with Chip in 2 hole
Then he says he doesn’t want to be there, and Prado gets re-inserted… meh.

Chip was in the 2 hole
in a lot of our losses as well
Chopmaster: my link is my dad who has watched the braves since I don’t know. he’s 56.
Considering that Heyward is offering zero power...
….but getting on base at a very good clip, wouldn’t it make sense to have him in front of a red-hot Gonzo(who usually killls the Fish)?
No big deal, just seems odd.
It's cause he's hitting 8th
that’s the only reason he gets walks.

If anything, for a terrible hitter like Gonzalez, the fact that he’s hot now is a good indication that it will not continue. If someone is getting on base and not hitting for power, leading off is optimal. Otherwise, 8 is a pretty good spot too.
Don't say he's hot
Some idiot on here always says there’s no such thing as a hot hitter.
Some folks would argue with a rock

There are hot hitters…but what someone has done in the past is no sound basis for making a decision in the future – at least, not in this context.

Some News from Dave O'Brien
- Tommy Hanson threw two simulated innings today in Orlando and said his right shoulder “felt great”. He will make a start in the Instructional League on Friday and be on a pitch-count of 65 pitches. If everything goes well, he will start against the Phillies on the final day of the regular season (Wednesday, September 28). Those plans will change, though, if the Braves are still fighting for the Wild Card on the final day. Tim Hudson would pitch instead on regular rest if that were the case.
- Jair Jurrjens threw a bullpen session today that went well. He reported no pain in his knee. He will throw another, heavier one on Wednesday. He would not likely be able to pitch until the NLCS if the Braves made it that far.
- George Sherrill is scheduled to throw a bullpen session tomorrow and see where they go from there. He has been on the DL since August 30 with an inflamed elbow.
- When asked if he would include Derek Lowe in his postseason rotation, Fredi Gonzalez was non-committal saying, “Let’s just go day-by-day and get to the playoffs before we worry about that.” How Lowe performs Wednesday will likely seal his fate.
- The field at Sun Life Stadium is in the “worst condition I’ve ever seen a major league field after two football games”.

Slap hit ground balls for the win.
Sgt.: Pointed stick? Oh, oh, oh. We want to learn how to defend ourselves against pointed sticks, do we? Getting all high and mighty, eh? Fresh fruit not good enough for you eh? Well I'll tell you something my lad. When you're walking home tonight and some great homicidal maniac comes after you with a bunch of loganberries, don't come crying to me! Now, the passion fruit.
"how Lowe performs Wednesday will likely seal his fate"
i really truly hope that if he pitches well in that start that fredi won’t automatically put him in the playoff rotation. he has sucked for almost the entire year, and one good start against a poor marlin offense does not deserve a playoff start
How can this even be in question after the last, oh, 2 MONTHS worth of Lowe’s starts?? Post-season roster??? Do not want!!

Some Stats
Some Stats
- Alex Gonzalez is hitting .360 (18-for-50) with a .600 slugging percentage in September. He hit .478 (11-for-23) in his last six games, which included having a home run robbed by Jason Bay on Friday night.
- Since August 6, Chipper Jones is hitting .350 (43-for-123) with 8 home runs, 21 RBIs, and a 1.017 OPS in the 35 games that have followed.
- Jason Heyward is hitting .281 (9-for-32) with a mammoth .455 on-base percentage in his last 12 games. All 9 hits have been singles and he has only 2 RBIs in that stretch.
- The Braves are now 6-0 in Mike Minor’s 6 starts since being called up from AAA Gwinnett in the first week of August. Minor’s 5-0 in those, with the no-decision coming in his first start back.

That 1-5 in the Marlins order is red hot
Well, with the exception of Infante. He’s having an average month, but he’s hit extremely well in the 2nd-half.
It looks a lot more intimidating with Stanton and Morrison in there….
and Infante owned us last series

It is crazy to me that Venters has been in 81 games this season.
People will come Ray. The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game: it's a part of our past, Ray. It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again.
he is a former starter
and in combination, our best Loogy, primary big out need pitcher, 8th inning man, and secondary closer.

Still a bunch of appearances. Personally, I think it is why he has been struggling lately. Just my opinion though.

Possibly…
People will come Ray. The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game: it's a part of our past, Ray. It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again.
Vidro would be very nice here

Hey everyone
I just want to say that this really is the best online community that I have ever been a part of. I received a warning today from Big Cat Country (the Jaguars SBN site) for saying that David Garrard was a better QB than Luke McCown…seriously, a warning for stating the obvious.
And then, the moderator went on to tell me that I was just butt hurt and needed to go play golf and get over it.

McCown is AWESOME.
And Garrard was wronged, so, so bad. Also, didn’t you tell me the Jags would be in the SB under Del Rio?
http://sportsandgrits.com/
Nope. I never said that. I said that we were in a position to make a run at a SB in the next 2-3 years.
Not anymore.
Remember how much of a JDR fan I was? Yeah, that is over now. I want him gone, and I want Bill Cowher as our new head coach.
What JDR did to Garrard is completely bush league and classless, and the fact that the franchise, when so close to being able to actually win the division with Peyton’s injury, would opt to save ~$9M instead of putting the most competitive team on the field says alot about the mindset of the Head Coach.
All accounts were that it was his decision, and there is no way in hell that he honestly believed that Luke McCown gives us the best chance to win.
And if they wanted to rebuild – why not start Gabbert right away?
I’m so pissed off at what was a very good franchise that finally seemed to be doing things the right way to build a successful team for the future.

I honestly don’t know.
I don’t think he’s the next Aaron Rodgers.
Maybe he can be the next Kyle Orton – not terrible, but not spectacular – but then again, we already had that in David Garrard.
I wish we had just saved our draft picks, drafted out of the 16th slot, and went with Garrard for another year.
And then, trade up (if we must) and take Luck in next year’s draft.

Most of the fanbase seems to think he’s the next Tom Brady. I’ve actually heard the comparison made…ugh.
I was upset when we drafted him – not because we drafted Blaine Gabbert, but because we traded up 6 spots and gave away picks to do so.
That is totally opposite of the philosophy that Gene Smith has followed ever since he took over for Shack Harris.

Me either – which was why I was totally shocked when we made that trade to get him.
Gene Smith drafts the best player available and doesn’t (or at least, never had before) draft based on specific positional needs of the team.
I agree 100% with that philosophy, and was really irritated when I saw the trade made.

Thats ok
We had our top two WR’s out , one took out during the game by an unintentional chep shot , plus our starting QB out for a half a game , and still kept it close .
We started a freshman QB in his first game ever – and he dominated you guys.
Not to mention that our D swarmed y’all so bad that it really wouldn’t have mattered who was in.

Corrected
What sucks is that we recruited B.J. Daniels before he went there . And then had a good game against us .
IIRC, you guys actually reneged on your scholarship offer to him, and he went to USF instead.
I was not a huge fan of his last year, but holy crap, if he has really matured this much since last year, and can play like this week in and week out, USF is a legit team on the national level.
He made too many dumb decisions last year, but this year, I honestly can’t think of 1 that he’s made. He throws the ball away when he’s supposed to. He goes down and takes the sack when he should.
It’s really uncanny, and if it’s all due to Skip Holtz, I hope that man never leaves for another team!

Cause they're "East"
maybe y’all can try for the SEC, although it wouldn’t work. And I still recall Marcellus Wiley RIPPING Mike Smith, saying he sucked, knew nothing, and that Del Rio and Mike Peterson ran that show on D.
http://sportsandgrits.com/
Ugh.
yeah, but we are adding TCU in ’12, so the whole “east” thing is irrelevant now – as is the Big X.
At least the Pac 10 changed it’s name to the PAC 12.
I just wish they would go to the super conference set up and get it over with. Hopefully, that will lead to a playoff and the end of the BCS as we know it.

with the Pitt, Cuse, and A&M moves
they are. ACC just fired the first bomb, more will likely follow.
http://sportsandgrits.com/
I just hope USF can get picked up into one.
I know I’m a homer, but I really can see us in the SEC. I don’t see us going to the ACC, due to the fact that FSU and UM are already there.
Although, the ACC has like 12 schools from North Carolina, so it is possible.

The Big 10 works
they’ll want you for TV markets.
And no, you’re not going SEC. A)FLorida wouldn’t allow it. B) Seriously?
http://sportsandgrits.com/
We have shown in the past that we can beat SEC schools (Auburn at Auburn), and yeah, I get that UF wouldn’t want it, but if FSU can approve to have UM (Which at the time had to be perceived as a bigger threat than USF would be to UF right now) then it is possible.
I just think our style of play fits with the SEC more.
The Big X is already up to what, 14 teams now? We don’t match well with the Big X at all. We are a fineness team built on speed and athleticism. My impression of Bix X football is big guys up front and grind-it-out type of play.

The ACC needed legitimacy, Miami and VT brought it
and brought money from a championship game (in theory). That’s what drives this bus, money. USF doesn’t add it to the SEC, as Florida already brings the Tampa area, and probably even more than USF does. But the Big 10 doesn’t touch there and could count the TV sets for more $ in to the Big Ten Network.
http://sportsandgrits.com/
All of that is true – except for the UF grip on the Tampa market.
USF has become legit over the last 2 or 3 seasons, and has started actually stealing recruits from UM/UF/FSU – Gilchrist being a good example.
Also, Darrell Scott coming over helps us big time, as he gives us a prolific RB – something that we haven’t ever really had outside of Mike Ford, who couldn’t keep his nose clean and was dismissed from the program.
The marketing campaign of the school in the Tampa area has been tremendous, and it is starting to see results.
The program is still on the rise, and any conference would be smart to take advantage of it.

OT post to follow:
Anyone here willing to help a gal out with troubleshooting a wireless network question?
I bought a ranger extender for my wireless router. Both Netgear brand. It’s setup up ok and works great getting signal in a room of my house that was dead before. It assigns itself my network name, with _Ext on the end.
Only issue is: I use Mac Address access list to restrict who can connect on my router. The range extender will only work if I disable this feature. I’ve added the ranger extender’s MAC address to the list, but still no luck.
I called tech support, but they will only give me the solution if I pay $99 since my router is a couple years old and they are saying this falls under “warranty”. I call BS on that since I think they should help me figure out how to make their router work with their extender with this feature engaged.

~ "Curve: The loveliest distance between two points." ~ Mae West ~
If you put:
192.168.0.1
In your browser address bar, it should bring you to the router settings page. I’m not entirely positive because it’s sometimes different for different brands and I’ve never used Netgear, but I think that’s what it is.

Personally, I’m sick of reading this after most games these days:
"….we didn’t capitalize. A bloop here a bloop there, different game."
~ "Curve: The loveliest distance between two points." ~ Mae West ~
Right, if that is the case then we have a lot of win coming out way. And sometimes baseball is like that, which is fine. But that can’t be your game plan. Comments like that is the definition of clubhouse impotence. You gotta find some way to light a fire. Even-keeled is great if you are squarely on the line of winning and success. Recently we’ve gone astray and it’s time to shake it up in my opinion.

Well then Fredi needs to talk to Parrish and his players.
Because our approach is always trying to hit homers, not bloop hits.
~ "Curve: The loveliest distance between two points." ~ Mae West ~
I think Fredi might need a self help course designed to help him express his emotions (what is the over/under on Fredi being a robot built by DOB), or possibly a ball-transplant surgery. It’s definitely one of the two.

The HR ball is absolutely crucial to our success, and that isn’t a strong way to go because a power slump, or even just consistently missing by 10-15 feet (Brian McCann) absolutely screws you.

I don't want Minor in the playoff rotation, if we get to the playoffs
I mean, pitching to Stanton down the middle and then an 0-2 fastball down the middle to Morrison.

by Kobe:The Legend on Sep 19, 2011 8:40 PM EDT reply actions
Minor is a great fit for the playoff rotation because of his relatively high K rate. Ks are king in the playoffs.
And he does a relatively good job of keeping it on the ground. And before tonight his HR rate was sick, it’s probably still decent but that was a big reason why he would have been good for the play-offs, especially considering the potential lineups and stadiums.
But the real question, is who do you want. Though we are pitching rich in general, we really don’t have a lot of excess in terms of constructing a play-off rotation. Minor might be in out of necessity.

Offense is still gonna suck barring some major years from guys and/or a big offseason acquisition, but we’re up to our eyeballs in talented young pitching and they’re just gonna get better over the winter. Spring training is gonna be a tough fight to fill the 5 rotation spots.
I'm very excited about the future and of course want us to make the playoffs still

Tons of evidence that he is Azor Ahai, or the Prince that was Promised. Or one of the three heads of the dragon. Dany really has the best claim to the actually wording of the Azor Ahai prophecy, but Jon is clearly very important.

Sounds like something that might be true
because why not?
It would make sense to smuggle out an heir if you know that they are about to come massacre you, but it can’t really be proven one way or another, except possibly by how he responds to the Dragon (see Brown Ben Plumm) but nothing authoritative besides the balance of power and how Dany accepts him.

One of those things that can’t really be proven, but it is very convenient. Remember that one of Dany’s prophecies refer to a “mummer dragon” which would be exactly how you would describe someone posing as Aegon Targaryen.

But Mel inexplicably keeps seeing “Snow” (once used capitalized when she was thinking to herself and once used in lower case when talking to Jon) so you gotta think that she is going to use her powers (which she says are strongest at the wall) to bring Jon back. She realizes his importance, and he is now all of a sudden free from the vow to the Night’s Watch, leaving him to reclaim his inheritance.
While George R.R. Martin does a lot to overturn fantasy stereotypes and plays on the audience’s expectations, it doesn’t make sense to the narrative for Jon to be a non-entity. And while it might be a little obvious, the series is called “The Song of Ice and Fire,” which could mean Jon-Ice and Dany- Fire, but when Rhaegar is speaking in vision Dany sees he says “his is the song of ice and fire” implying that it is one song. Jon’s strong association with ice, and the possibility of rebirth at the hands of Mel would combine ice and fire.

Pretty sure warging rules are that once the original body is dead you can’t warg back. If he did warg into Ghost, Jon’s body would have to still be alive. Remember the horn sounded, meaning the attack might have been called short. If Mel could get him in time perhaps he might even avoid death. But more likely is that his corpse is reanimated by Mel. I don’t think that Mel, whose supernatural powers can directly help, would just let it sit by and happen because she understands that Jon is very important.

Hers is a song of ice and fire
Doesn’t necessarily mean that she will embody both. She might need to find the ice?
Too bad she practically turned into a sex addict

Eh, let her finish training

If she finishes her training she would no longer really be a Stark. Plus I’m not sure they would just let her leave at that stage.

Both true
But since when has Arya cared about some stupid rules?
I think it said “his” is the song of ice and fire. It might have been a memory, but the idea is that those visions are all muddled, but that there is some truth in it. The point is that Jon is clearly the Ice, and his song would be really short to this point, since he hasn’t really accomplished any big picture things to warrant the title. Perhaps he is the intersection of both, perhaps he is the ice to Dany’s fire. Whether it’s the Prince that was Promise, Azor Azhai or one of the heads of the dragon I think Jon is really important and is definitely not gone.

Personal theory:
She and Aerys had an affair. Jon is the Child. He will hook up with Dany. Awesomeness will happen.
I definitely think it was Rhaegar, remember he gave her the Queen of Love and Beauty after winning that championship. Him kidnapping Lyanna also pretty much caused the War in the first place. I think its Rhaegar and Lyanna’s kid.

The Starks are actually in a really strong position. The Lannisters have gotten hit harder with Tywin (who is really the most important one,) the newly impotent Jaime and the humiliated and depraved Cersei. Tommen is punchless and the Tyrells are about to take over the only advantage they had, King’s Landing.

Well you could argue that the Phillies could be the Lannisters because they are doing everything possible to try to win now, and are losing their future as the result. But I think the Phillies have to be the Boltons, or perhaps the Burned Men.

Season ending
Call me a pessimist, but that just ended the Braves season. They simply have lost it. And with 8 games left it is unlikely it all starts clicking. I blame the “confidence” poll.

by AnEternalEnigma on Sep 19, 2011 10:03 PM EDT reply actions
It was honest criticism. When Infante was buzzed, you just know he’s going to be more aggressive after.
He may have chased a ball out of the zone.
I wonder what the calls were on the other 2 strike homers we gave up tonight too?

I live in New Orleans, and it’s a football town, but the Braves were the first team in any sport I started following when we lived in Atlanta for a few years when I was a kid.

I got three text messages in a four second span.
They’re still pouring in. I’ll never forgive the Braves if they blow this lead.
Be cocky and tell them that it’s just to insure maximum heartbreak at season’s end. Possibly allude to some prospect who is going to be the best in the world (and be sure to have fun with the name.)
Because you are going to get it if the Cards catch us regardless of what you say now.

At the very least I'll laugh at their false hope after taking three of four from whoever they just played
before the real Phillies show back up in October
I still have hope, but I have no confidence.
I think we’re falling out of this thing. I’ve been a Braves fan for 33 years and I’ve never seen them flame out like this.
This is either the end of the season or the beginning of the kick assery
Because the team had better fucking pick it up and play like the monsters they should be or St. Louis- who REAALLLY want in on October- is going to take it from us.
I dont know how much more of this I can take
Im only 24 and I feel like I should be on beta blockers or something right now. I honestly dont know why I subject myself to this. That being said, see you guys tomorrow. I’ve never played the violin but I’ll go down like the guys on the Titanic if I have to
I'm convinced the Braves aren't meant to go to the playoffs
I’m not hating. But how can you deny it after all the goofyness this month? This game is over if Chipper doesn’t lose Bonafacio’s chopper in the lights.

Was I the only one who thought that their 4.5 game lead
was NOT IN FACT SAFE, with the way the braves were playing down the stretch?!
this hurts.
JuniorFamilia.com @radamez
HAVE FAITH
Guys, we’re going to be just fine! I know this stuff hurts, tonight could not have went any worse. Former Brave hits walk-off homer against typically dominant closer after Chipper makes an error. You couldn’t have written a worse script.
But I really think this is the point where the guys circle the wagons and do what it takes down the stretch. We still have a 2.5 game lead with 8 to play and the odds are still in our favor regardless of how we’ve been playing the past few days. Chipper and Gonzo are going to take charge and will this team down the stretch. Hanson gets healthy for the NLDS and we turn it on against Milwaukee. DON’T GIVE UP HOPE. GO BRAVES!
I've already decided that I'm naming my first child Maddux, regardless of the gender

ITS OVER!
we still have games against the gNATS and phillies while st. louis plays the cubs and ’stros.. maybe next yr
We control our destiny if we can only take care of winning our games. Lately, we have a hard time doing that while the red hot Cardinals couldn’t seem to lose even against the Phillies. With a lighter schedule, it’s possible the Cardinals could run the table so it doesn’t look good the way we’re playing. And don’t forget the Giants are back too. The Phillies could have done themselves a favor by beating the Cardinals because the way the Cards are playing, they would be dangerous to face in the first round if they win the WC.
