Off day seems much-needed.
So today is a much-needed off day for our struggling Braves. I’m not sure that having an off day will do much of anything, but what could it hurt? Like the Braves play lately, I’ve been lazy and unenthusiastic about posting, mainly because I didn’t really want to focus on how bad things have become. So I won’t. I’ll make this a “good” post.

What else can be said about this team? They just don’t seem to care anymore and appear to just be going through the motions. I can not ever remember seeing the Braves doing this.

We are behind on these recaps, but not down. The middle game of the series against the Cardinals was a blessing, because it was the first win this team has seen in too long.

Remember, this team still sucks and I still hate it.
Game 129
There’s losing, and then there’s losing. Friday night’s opener against the Cardinals was definitely the latter. The Braves got absolutely pummeled, losing by their largest margin of the season, and suffering their sixth loss in a row. Change needs to happen, now, or football season needs to start very soon.

Sigh.
Anyway, I’m looking for writeups for the SEC Previews site. Smitty’s UT preview is now up. I’ll do Alabama, of course, and Georgia is spoken for. Email me if you’re interested.

Once again the starter gives us a good outing, once again the pen lets us down (is this starting to sound like a broken record?). I really hope something is done to address this problem (along with the hitting, and the pitching coach, and the injuries)… We thought we had but the injuries just crushed our pen.

Game 125
Sometimes it’s hard to understand this team. On Monday afternoon, a game in which had the dumbest start time, the Braves got their asses handed to them by the pitcher who has the most losses in the Major League, Barry Zito. This second loss in a row to a team with a worse record was a fitting end to wrap up the homestand, which had the lackluster record of 1 -7.

Game 124
Luckily [?], I had to miss most of this game to stain a fence. The good news is the fence looks great and it was such a pleasant evening tonight. The bad news is that it wasn’t such a pleasant day for the Braves. For whatever reason, this team consistently gets beaten up by the seemingly inferior Giants. Tim Lincecum put the hurt on Atlanta, again, and recorded his 13th win of the season.
