Official Atlanta Braves Thread

2....I like Hudson, heck of a pitcher. Went out to the bar to watch with a group of friends. Had Phils on one TV and Braves on the TV next to it. Good times.

We all bought our tickets for the final series at Turner Field for the Phils vs. Braves. I hope it means as much as I think it will

Mark my words...Wags will let you down in the 2nd half. He did it with the Phils, he did it with the Mets, he will do it with the Braves.

Here's to an exciting run to the NL East title. :cheers2:

IDK Jrock...he's only gotten stronger. Only a couple times this season has he disappointed. He blew through the 9th though.

Did the Phillies do that bad or was Santana that on tonight?

[Mesmer]

I dunno about Wagner collapsing. He's having a pretty strong and convincing final campaign.

[Johnny Rockets]

Mike Minor on the mound today. Will be interesting to see what this kid has. I love watching new, promising prospects making debuts. Something tells me this kid will have a good one and will stick around in the Show with Medlin out.

[Kakarot]

I turned off the game mad, because I thought the Braves were going to lose another one that they basically had, but later on I turn on to the Braves post game wrap up to see that Brooks won another one for us with a late inning homerun.

Great win, and its also a plus that the phils lost

[Johnny Rockets]

Conrad really stuck it to his old team (organization). I am sure he enjoyed every second of that trot around the bases.

[pantherfool]

I hope I'm wrong but that injury to Chipper looked bad last night. If that was his last play as a Brave, it was a good one.

:

*cough*...Braves pulled it out but the old Wags is starting to come through. Not sure how he blew the save with today but guys are sitting on that fast ball that has no movement and if they guess right, look out.

(Still better than Lidge though)

[lightsout]

I'm not gonna say he is a let down until these blown saves become routine for him. I will say I was disappointed. Thank God for McCann there are in the 10th with the security. Not to mention everybody who had a bat in their hands that inning. Great way to battle back (even though they should have never HAD to battle back...).

I am not saying he is a let down because Wags is not a terrible closer by any means. All I am saying is that if history repeats itself (which it likes to do), Wags will let you down in some big games down the stretch in the 2nd half.

[JakeFlake]

Just heard on the radio that Chipper has a torn ACL.

[Joscott]

Yep, the Braves just lost one of their hotest hitters for the rest of the year. This is going to be a terrible way to go out if he decided this is his last year.

With Prado already out, and Jason having knee pain, and not to mention Glaus. The injuries are mounting up quick.

[faultlessjoint]

Sad news. Really bums me out. Not only was he really heating up for the first time since the beginning of last season, but to think think he may never play another game is depressing. I really hope he comes back next year.

[Mesmer]

Prado and Jason will be back this week. I hate that he's out for the year, but I really don't think this injury will be that big of a deal.
