Base hit to right field! …. Francoeur bobbles it!
Two batters later:
... and there's a base hit to right field! Francoeur up with it....

Both teams have off-days tomorrow. Why is this a day game?
I think I jinxed us last night…
But joking aside, Charlie Morton needs to come out and pitch better than Jo-Jo did last night. And our offense needs to come back to life. Tonight it’s Charlie Morton facing Dave Bush, who beat us last time we saw him in yet another one-run game. Can we please do well tonight and tomorrow?

Here’s a question, though I don’t know if it’s worth a poll: What sucks more, Peachtree TV or Francoeur?

Why This Isn’t Our Year
We’re almost halfway through the season, and we’re piddling around .500 with just 38 wins. We’ve had good stretches and bad stretches, but it’s sent us to no destination good or bad, just to .500 and sort of an afterthought in the race. The team has been inconsistent, at times looking like there’s real potential lying underneath, and looking like a AAA team at others. It’s time to give up on the Braves for the year, and I’m about to tell you why.

While the first game of the Mariners’ series looked like it was going to result in a sweep by the worst team in baseball, we came back and won the last two in great fashion. Teixshy seems like he’s gaining confidence at the plate and all us fans really hope he is coming out of his long slump. We knew he started off slow, but we weren’t thinking it was going to end up being this slow. If he heats up, maybe he can make up for the absence of Chipper in the lineup and keep us going in a good direction.

I don’t really know much about the Radiohead — I haven’t really liked anything released since 1991 — so Stu with your selections this week.

Despondent game thread: Mariners at Braves, June 21
Oh, what’s the use?
Resolved: That the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, if we really have to have a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, should be in Seattle instead of Cleveland.
Mariners In Atlanta
Tonight we start a six game homestand against the Seattle Mariners, who seemingly have it worse than we do right now, as they are 8.5 games back in the AL West. They just recently took the Mets lead and fired their manager, John McLaren, this week. Erik Bedard, who was supposedly the trade of the off season, behind the Johan Santana deal, hasn’t quite panned out to be the ace that the Mariners thought he might be for their club with a 4.15 ERA and 4-4 record. But while they’re in the midst of their own troubles, we have our own to worry about…still.

This story made me feel a tad better. Apparently one of our "aces" could've been had for much less than Renteria. If the Pirates organization weren't such a joke, we would not have met our Curacaoaoian quota. OH NOEZ!!1Read the rest of this entry »
A no doubt depressing home stand begins game thread: June 20, Mariners at Braves
Though if you really want depressing, try being a Mariners fan. Maybe Monty Python can cheer me up.

Well, this was depressing. We get up by two. Then down by two. Then we tie it only to lose in the bottom of the ninth inning.

Melancholy game thread: June 18, Braves at Rangers
Yeah, I’m hitting the thesaurus again. It was that or “gloomy”.
