It seems that the Reds can actually beat the Braves this year! Reds win, 5-2.

Ryan Hannigan “Catcher” scored on an inside the park home run because the center fielder could not throw the baseball in anything close to a straight line. That was so fun that the other Braves outfielders (as well as the Reds outfielders) were laughing at him.

for Hanny man?

I really hope Volquez can get it together tomorrow, cause I really want a series win, especially since the Cards aren’t having too much trouble with this Pirates vintage

I was treated to the BoSucks – like they have a chance to be in the playoffs!

Going to the Monday game in Pittsburgh!

i say the bucs and the cubs are pretty much sweepable no? Well, at least the bucs please

hanigan definitely won that one, and you didn’t mention one of the worst throws in the history of the game. i just burst out laughing. and then millar started going on about how it was like throwing soap in the shower.

i never bothered to learn uzr and that kind of thing. but i do know zimmerman makes a lot of throwing errors errant throws that pull the first baseman off the bag that aren’t counted for errors…

Awesome.

I sat behind the Braves dugout. Offended an old lady Braves fan with my salty language.

Sat next to a Braves fan in a Francour jersey, he was a pretty nice guy. He is from Philly but is a Braves fan, so weird.

Still don’t know why Dusty played knifey spoony in the the 8th with Rhodes and Masset, except so they could pitch on back to back days.

That bases clearing little league inside the park home run was one of the most awesome things ever.

Jurjens is a little bitch.

"You always want better, but if you know me, I’ve never complained about who I have," said Baker. "You never heard me complain and say, ‘Give me this or give me that,’ because I always think I can do well with whatever I have. That’s part of the challenge of managing. So I challenge myself to try to get the most out of who I have.

Isn’t this the same guy who late in 2008 said that the team that years “weren’t his guys”?

I wish Jon Stewart could do Dusty Baker hypocrisy like he does for pols.

And it completed the cycle to beat the Cubs…pretty cool

Aren’t we getting to the point in the season where Dusty/Walt has to say to Stubbs, “Sorry kid, it’s not working right now. Time to take a seat / spend some time at AAA.”?

It’s getting to the stretch drive – we can’t have him completely lost at the plate with the season on the brink. He may be great one day, but I hate having him learn on the job.
