Track the Braves (Week 8)

[AverageJoesGym]

I say he will last the season but he won't be there after the season ends.

 

 

Also it's said that Pedro will probably retire after this season.

 

I remember when the media gave Epstein such a hard time for not signing him back after the 2004 title when he wanted a 6 year deal. Since then he's only made 60 total starts with a record of 27-17. Pedro was a great pitcher but I think Theo knew what he was doing in this case, I will always be grateful however for his role in the Sox 2004 Title.

^ The GM never gets any credit for those kind of moves, always looked at negatively.

 

Same way with the Braves and Andruw Jones, he is flat out horrible this year. Mark Kotsay is probably the comeback player of the year.

Braves sweep the day/night doubleheader with the Mets taking the second game 6-2.

 

Braves up 4-0 till the 8th when the Mets scored 2 runs but Mark Kotsay hits a 2-run homerun to give the Braves a couple of insurance runs. Campillo picks up the win for the Braves.

 

Braves are 24-21 and 1.5 GB back.

I'm sick and tired of your teams winning all the time. You need to have a loser in there somewhere. :irked:

Spurs won the championship last year.

 

Giants this year.

 

The Spurs might get another shot at it this year.

 

The Braves do not have a great shot...

 

I can't complain about my sports teams this year.

It seemed pretty clear that Andruw was headed for this, though he's even worse than I imagined. It was a good choice to not re-sign him.

^ It said yesterday on ESPN that he has torn knee cartilage. Sad to see but it was bound to happen with that knee jerking swing and care free outfielding. A great young athlete who peaked to early. He traded a few years of homeruns for a long and great career.

Attention all Braves fans:

Mets vs. Braves

 

Pelphrey faces Jurrjens.

[SvFan4life]

Braves are manhandling the Mets right now 6-1 in the 5th.

 

Mets are just not a very good team right now.

 

 

Chipper Jones walked his first 2 appearences then hit a solo homerun to begin the inning.

[DragonFire]

Chipper is just unbelievable this season. It is really fun to watch him play.

[SvFan4life]

^ Before the game they asked him why, at 36, is he an even better hitter when he was younger. He simply said he is smarter, and can dictate the game through the pitcher.

[SvFan4life]

Chipper due to lead off the bottom of the 6th, come on Chipper!!

[SvFan4life]

Oh well, looked good but got under it just a bit.

[SvFan4life]

Teixeira swinging a good bat for the Braves. He is 3-5 with 3 RBI's.

 

 

Braves 4-6 hitters are 9-13.

 

Mark Teixeira 3-5

Brian McCann 3-4

Jeff Francouer 3-4 - fell double short of cycle.
