How To Make The Best of a Throwaway Season

~JB, just drank a lot of coffee today… a lot.  All in one game, Charlie Morton pitches 7 scoreless innings, gets his first big league hit/double, gets picked off shortly after that, and even gets caught stealing (cue the Jane’s Addiction music). So maybe Morton has promise after all. But he’s still only 3-7 and may [...] Read the rest of this entry »

We’re here to help the Diamondbacks get on their feet game thread: Aug. 7, Braves at DBacks

Keep Dreamin’, JB

Braves lost again. On the road in a one run game and thus, lost another series.

Surprisingly, Chuck James only gave up three runs. Of course he gave up his mandatory homer to Aaron Rowand but the Braves couldn’t come up with a series win even against the second to last place Giants.

Ever Feel Like You Owe Someone an Apology?

Chip Caray sure likes to think we bloggers owe Mike Hampton a great big “I’m sorry” for the way we’ve trashed him over his sundry list of ailments for the last three seasons.

Braves Lose in More Ways Than One

~JB being JB

As if a sad season couldn’t get sadder…

As you well know by now we had to say goodbye to the voice of the Braves. This news comes along with a complete smattering of bad news that has been piled high and buried us deep.

Skip Caray: Braves’ Announcer Passes Away

It’s hard for me to come up with the words to write this blog post, mainly because I don’t think its sunk in yet. I first heard the news as soon as I woke up this morning, and to me, it seemed unreal. Skip Caray, one of the main announcers and a name that is synonymous with the Braves, passed away last night in his sleep at the age of 68.

Headin’ to the Ted

~JB, Just Don’t Lose TOO Badly It’s hard not to hang your head when the Braves come up in conversation. Endanger of being swept for the second time in a week at home is just tragic.  Royce Ring finally got designated along with Corky Miller making room for Sammons who has all but topped Miller’s season hitting [...] Read the rest of this entry »
