Damn. I was about to post a pretty chart. I take back everything nice that I said about Willie. Let Kaz play until his legs fall off. He's hitting .370 in September for crying out loud. ____________________________ This post had the designation 152) Anthony Young

Sorry, I don't mean to hog the IGT's.

Rotblatt Sep 17 2005 02:00 PM

One of the rags said Matsui tweaked a hammy last night, so that might be why. What I don't understand is why Anderson Hernandez--who has been recalled and is in uniform--didn't get the start instead of Cairo. Most likely because Hernandez doesn't have the requisite experience to start. Trachs looks ugly, although he should have been out of the inning on a two-out ground out to Wright. Wright bounced a throw to Jacobs, who couldn't handle it, and Andruw reached on the error. Giles, who walked then stole second, scored on the play. Then LaRouche hit a two-run homer. Reyes & Diaz down pretty quickly, then consecutive walks to Beltran & Floyd. Did anyone catch McCarver & whats-his-name talk about all the bitches they'd be bagging if they were in Franceour's shoes? It was pretty embarassing. I'm paraphrasing here: W:"Can you imagine being 21 and single in Atlanta while batting .305?" M:"I'd be living alone, that's for sure!"

BULL!!!

Rotblatt Sep 17 2005 02:04 PM

Bases loaded after Wright walks and Piazza lines the first pitch he sees to center. Andruw traps it clear as day and the MOTHERFUCKING UMPS CALL HIM OUT!!!!!!! Worst fucking call I've seen all year. Unfuckingbelieveable. I hate fucking baseball.

Fuckshit :(

KC Sep 17 2005 02:07 PM

It's all just one big test to see if I'll crack. I know what they're all up to, I bet some of you are in on it too. I'll just keep watching, you can't crack me.

KC Sep 17 2005 02:38 PM

I can't believe it's only the end of the third inning ... 5-2 Braves after a ...

Rotblatt Sep 17 2005 02:43 PM

If Piazza hadn't gotten punked, it'd be at least a 5-4 game. Baseball sucks.

KC Sep 17 2005 02:54 PM

Piazza says, this KABOOM is for rottie on the cpf!!!

KC Sep 17 2005 02:55 PM

Jacobs says, this KABOOM toasts the future!

Rotblatt Sep 17 2005 02:56 PM

Mike Piazza--robbed of a bases-loaded single & stolen on three times--unleases his frustration on a poor defenseless ball. That must have been really, really satisfying for him And he gets a curtain call for it too. Then Jacobs launches one into right to go back to back. The score in "Perfect Umpiring World" is 6-5, NY Mets. Back here in the real world, it's 4-5, Braves.

Rotblatt Sep 17 2005 02:57 PM

Reyes FINALLY hits one on the ground after popping up twice and he gets a single.

KC Sep 17 2005 03:11 PM

Floyd looking a little hobbled again - if he's having trouble walking he should probably be shut down for the rest of the year.

Rotblatt Sep 17 2005 03:30 PM

Bleh. Jacobs flied out to left (just got under a pitch), Cairo walked, then Offerman (pinch hitting for Trachsel) ground into a double play. Why Offerman, Willie? Takatsu in in the seventh.

ScarletKnight41 Sep 17 2005 03:32 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Sep 17 2005 03:33 PM

Takatsu comes in and immediately gives up a home run. I hat him.

Rotblatt Sep 17 2005 03:33 PM

Takatsu gives up a homer to Giles and the Braves tie it up, 6-6. Or, for those of you in the real world, the Braves extend their lead to 6-4.

Is it my imagination or does everything off an Atlanta bat - hard or soft, line or fly, long or short - find some grass somewhere?

MFS62 Sep 17 2005 03:43 PM

Somebody should call 1-800-BUY-AHIT and put out a contract on Giles. Or maybe I'm just jealous that we don't have a "beat you any way I can" pain in the ass sparkplug* fucker like him at the top of our order. He annoys me more tan any other Brave. * = I reached my limit for adjectives in this sentence. Later

Valadius Sep 17 2005 03:55 PM

All right, I'm coming down from my Jay Satan perch and posting again. Did anyone else feel a torch being handed off when Piazza and Jacobs went back-to-back?

Valadius Sep 17 2005 03:57 PM

Who called putting Cameron Diaz in the 2-hole? I knew it would work.

Frayed Knot Sep 17 2005 04:01 PM

Did you know it would work during his 2 Ks and GO or just after his single?

Valadius Sep 17 2005 04:08 PM

It's better than Cairo, isn't it?

Hey, I've got no problem putting Diaz 2nd, I like the move in fact. But sometimes we're so anxious for a move to work that we declare it a success before it ever is. Diaz is a very average 1/4 today and hasn't had a hand in any of the scoring.

Frayed Knot Sep 17 2005 04:28 PM

Two more piece of shit hits create a run.

Edgy DC Sep 17 2005 06:16 PM

Trachsel, who was scandal of the week when he was kept out of the rotation for a few days, is now 1-3, 3.42

Examining the output from slots in the lineup on a daily basis is meaningless because it's such an incredibly small sample size. It's really only meaningful over part of a season. That being said, if the goal is to give more at bats to your best hitters (which it SHOULD be), then this move already is a success, since Diaz is a much better hitter than Cairo or Matsui.

]Examining the output from slots in the lineup on a daily basis is meaningless because it's such an incredibly small sample size. It's really only meaningful over part of a season. Agreed. That's why I was balking at the claim that "it worked" after a single in 4 ABs.
