Hey look. Braves bullpen trying to blow KK's first win.

And really, Viq? Ouch.. talk about a shitty injury.

holy shit what an awful call.

[Bozo]

HOLY SHIT DID THEY SERIOUSLY JUST CALL BASES LOADED BALL 4 A STRIKE 3 ON JOHNNY DAMON? God fucking damnit, the braves are lucky as fuck.

[Alderaan]

What a terrible called strike but i'll take it.

Grats KK on first win.

Bozo has by far the most delicious tears in this thread.

lol, you don't have to show the proof about how bad the call was. We already said 'what a terrible call' lol. I mean.. I was like "Welp, there goes KK's first WIN WTF IS THAT?" Lol

Did you post when the Braves were getting swept by the White Sox? Guess a win took you out of your hole.

[Kyo]

You sure are mad.

Also just saw the replay of the Chipper home run, happy for the guy, mother fucker aint done yet.

[Viq]

And now Buccholz got hurt running the bases. Interleague sucks so bad

[Bozo]

Any fan of a team in the NL East race should be mad. It's not like it was even a close call, umpire just gave the Braves a game.

Edit: And if it was a strike called a ball every Braves fan in this thread would be screaming their heads off.

[Pringles]

Clearly it is time to replace umps with machines so things like this don't happen again.

[Alderaan]

One could argue that the liner Inge hit to Chipper was a fair ball so it shouldn't have even gone to that. I thought that was a bad call too.

[Weeks]

Have you seen the score difference as well? What is it.. +3? +7? Something of the sorts. That means that at times, they don't get the pitching (or hitting obviously) and yet.. they are close to the top. I'd say that's doing an okay job.

I don't think much of Torre, but I'll agree that he probably isn't the problem with the Dodgers. They have an above-average pitching staff, an average offense, and an atrocious defense. It's a problem of team construction. Pitching wins are more expensive than position-player wins, and offensive wins are way more expensive than defensive wins. There just isn't any way to win with front office moves like that unless you're spending like the Yankees or you graduate a lot of cheap young talent all at once.

So a useless post like "Aw gee, we lost!" is necessary? Your bitching is what took me out of my hole. It is funny how mad you get when one game out of 162(not even featuring YOUR team) is decided by a bad call, when calls go both ways every game.

[Odesseiron]

I dunno about you other Yankees fans, but Burnett is pissing me off the more I see him. I know the guy is so much more capable of what he's been throwing lately. Whatever they did with Vazquez, they need to do to him.

[fren.]

Oh I see. So it's Torre's fault when they didn't win it all, but it's the players actions that won them their titles. Okay.

lolwat

He gets the praise for the success, he should get the blame for the failures of stacked teams that didn't win it all.

Interestingly enough, I've heard more bitching and moaning about Girardi's bullpen management than I ever remember hearing when Torre was running things, though who knows. Maybe I paid less attention then.

Go ask Scott Proctor how his arm is holding up.

FUCKING BURNETT.

Thats how I feel, and you hit it right on the head. Its frustrating because when hes on, hes so fucking on, but lately he has obviously been the antithesis. His emotions affect him way too much, and I know he will eventually turn it around once he gets a decent start or 2 under his belt to build on. Few pitchers in the league have such an egregious disparity between their max and minimum performance as Burnett. At least hes doing it this team against a good team with capable hitters and not some AAAers like the Orioles.

on fire

Eventhough 9/14 of those wins came against the Nationals, Pirates, and Indians, can't knock the ChiSox as of late. Any team that wins that many games in that span is doing well. And I love me some Ozzie.

<3 it's so weird, they are having guys like step up when others are having a bad game, the last few games it was quentin, today it was Konerko, and our starting pitching has been unreal. Also, fuck Carlos Silva and his dominance, I wanted us to get like 8 runs off him today, he's just not as good as he's pitching right now
