4/7 GT Cubs(Dempster) vs. Braves(Jurjens) 6:10 CST CSN+

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Two down, 12 to go.

 

 

The Chase for '97 Continues

[erik316wttn]

Why does Soriano even bother bringing a bat to the plate? It's not like he's going to be able to do anything with it anyway.

 

Are you ever right?

 

I was right when I called ballgame in the 2nd inning on Opening Day.

 

And Soriano got a fluke hit. One hit does not a slump break.

 

You're an absolute clown.

 

Only on weekends if the Kid's party pays enough.

[Drew Doughty]

big zone for wagner there

 

yeah i thought both of the last two missed but i'm not really sure why geo isn't being more protective of the plate with a 2 strike count down 1 in the 9th. fight it off or something

[Wilson A2000]

Cubs had to capitalize more in that inning where they had the sacks loaded. Grabow will be fine. I was glad when they got him and I am glad they kept him.

[NotSoSober]

Typical Braves strikezone, but you gotta swing the [expletive] bat

1-for-7 to start the season does not a slump make.

He was looking dead fastball. Not much you can do with a slider on the black.

[genbar]

Only two games and I've already lost my patience.

[Roast]

You all realize we started 0-2 in 2008, too, right?

[JimSorgi]

Geo, that big stick you have? It's called a bat. You're supposed to use it to try to hit the ball.

 

Game thread will be up tomorrow morning.

did your crystal ball tell you that

Are you glad he got that ridiculous extension?

[Andy]

I feel like we're going to see a lot of games like this - not enough runs early, pen blows it late.

[A-Cal]

Meh. The zone was fine. Wagner is nails. He is a ballplayer. The whole Braves roster is full of ballplayers.

[Schwarber Fan]

Pitches 1 and 3 to Byrd weren't strikes, neither were pitches 1 and 3 to Soto, but whatever. Edited April 8, 2010 by Rondon Fan

I hope Koyie Hill gets the start tomorrow. Soto does not look like a major league hitter up there right now. He doesn't look like he has any confidence. I'm not saying he should be benched and placed behind hill or anything but he needs something to wake him up.

You all realize most projects have this team around .500, and you can subtract one win from any early season projects thanks to the 0-2 start.

He asked me if I was ever right, and I answered. Don't be hatin.

 

Never said I was always right, but I'm right more often than I'm wrong, and people hate it because it's what they don't want to hear a lot of the time.

Maybe at a 1 year $1 million contract. Hes a loogy, not a set up man.

[SpongeWorthy]

Not only that, it was the reason we won 97.

As opposed to, what? Hockey players? Golfers?

you realize you posted this in an NSBB game thread, right?

People hate you because you're annoying. Just gonna throw that one at your pedestal.

Tight ends.

Seriously, Grabow is a dime a dozen reliever. There are literally dozens of relievers all over the league that can give you the numbers Grablow (get it GraBLOW?) gives you, and most of them for significantly less. Just another example of Hendry doing a horrible job of utilizing finite resources to build a baseball team.
