Cano

Youkalis

Francisco

Suzuki

Nix

Overbay

What a difference a year makes.  No Jeter, A-Rod, Texiera etc.  I hope they lose 100.

Granderson is out too.  I would love to see them lose so bad to start this season that there is no way they can get back in it.

Season getting cranked up. Can't complain about the Braves leading the Majors with an 8-1 record.  No offense to the Buzzer but 6 of those wins have come against the Cubs and  1-8 Marlins. On the road this weekend to the Nationals should be the real test.  Two things.  The pitching has just been the titz to this point.  Easily the biggest reason for the record.  The Braves are getting scoring some runs and seem to get right at double digit hits each night, but the encouraging thing is where it's coming from.  They have this record with Brian McCann out. (Gattis is kicking ass)  Freddie Freeman has been out the last few games.  Andrelton Simmons missed some time with an injury.  BJ Upton is batting .103 and Jason Heyward...  .071. 

Would love to see what they can do with everyone back in the line up and clicking.

My question is, what do we do with Gattis?  You can't sit him until he cools off. What if, when McCann returns, Gattis has double digit home runs and I still batting .300?

Nice problem to have.  And I'm a little concerned with how they handled the Freeman injury.  We need to keep him long term.

I like McCann a lot and think he's dropped off a good bit the last 2-3 seasons because of a variety of injuries.  I think the guy has several All Star caliber years ahead IF he gets 100% healthy.  All reports I've heard are that he's ready to do that.  But initially, I'd like to see them alternate the two against lefties and righties.  Gattis is a RH batter so play him against LH pitching initially and McCann against righties until they get a feel for whether McCann is back 100%.  Just my take...but they're not paying me a million+ to manage.

I really don't understand...I mean, with a lineup including the likes of um, that DeJesus guy's kid and Alfonso AARP Soriano how can you be down on the Cubs?

What?     Did you say something?     I'm sorry, I didn't catch that.

How about them mothafuckin Braves?  And Pena's homerun in the 10th?

[Buzz Killington]

Please to be reading the title of this thread...

[Token]

How about them mothafuckin Braves?  And Pena's homerun in the 10th?

Or how about Gattis hitting a chin high 100 mph fastball about 415 ft?  A series win against the Nationals is all I asked for, but a sweep would be fantastic. 

[Buzz Killington]

[Token]

It blows my mind.  I know it won't last, but how is it possible?  Dude almost hit another one out on Gio Gonzalez in his first AB.  RBI double off the wall.  And a RBI sac fly later in the game.  He is hitting like a seasoned vet. 

Bryan McCann played second base through high school.  I'd say its about time to see how he plays third base. 

[Token]

Oh yeah, almost forgot to mention the sweep against the Nats. 

[AUJarhead]

Fuck our bullpen.  Fuck them all.

[Buzz Killington]

Fuck our bullpen.  Fuck them all.

Did they give up a game tying HR in the top of the 9th, then balk in the go ahead run in the 10th?

Surely that was a typo and you meant walk.  Because, how do you balk in a winning run? 

[Buzz Killington]

Nope...balk. They scored two more for argurment's sake anyway, but it was a bases loaded balk.
