Can a rookie get mvp and rookie of the year in the same year

6/11/2011 10:49:54 AM

Why couldnt he?

6/11/2011 10:53:19 AM

Can we get Larry Wayne Jones Sr to spend a week or so with Uggla?

6/11/2011 7:52:46 PM

MCCANN!

6/11/2011 9:56:52 PM

I love Don Sutton.


AHAHAHA If you're going anywhere in downtown Houston tonight. Don't go. That 3 run BOMB by McCann just packed the streets.

6/11/2011 9:58:53 PM

Do my eyes deceive me or did Uggla really reach base four times in five PA last night?

Can you imagine if he comes around and Heyward gets healthy? Braves already have the best staff in the majors, couple that with even an above-average lineup and they're unstoppable.

I'm just totally in love with the pitching. JJ and Hanson are going to be top of the league #1s, Beachy, Minor and Medlen should be good middle of the rotation guys, Teheran or Vizcaino could be better than all of them (or they could be Jose Capellan). Hudson and Lowe are signed through next year. Lowe looks like he's about to break down, always wearing down quickly, but either could be good trade pieces.

Jonny Venters is the best reliever in baseball, we've got three closers finishing out the game. Even freaking George Sherrill is killing it.

6/12/2011 10:34:56 AM

I came in here to post that the Phillies had a better staff, but damn... the Braves team ERA is under 3 right now.

I suspect the Phillies team ERA+ would be better though, given the home ballpark.

ERA+ fail

Braves have the better number anyway

6/12/2011 10:51:47 AM

Oh come on, I edited that within seconds.

Where can you see team ERA+? Does B-R have that?

6/12/2011 11:00:00 AM

14 Ks for Hanson

My post this morning probably got him pretty pumped

6/12/2011 4:04:04 PM

So much for that 7 game winning streak.


Possibility Heyward is back in the line up for Wednesday nights game. Just in time for his first bobble head night!

6/13/2011 10:20:28 PM

I guess jordan was the only one that wanted to play lastnight.

This week we need to get that shit eating grin off Reyes face.

6/14/2011 11:17:03 AM

well, that was a very, very good week. Pitching is still amazing...hitting picked up in Houston, but we faced some below-average pitching. I've never seen us hit wandy rodriguez...ever

6/14/2011 1:06:31 PM

He's very tough on lefties and all your good hitters are either lefty or hit better from the left side, so its somewhat to be expected.

6/14/2011 1:22:18 PM

having Hicks, Mather and Young all in the lineup at the same time didn't help either. I won't berate Hicks but I will say he makes routine throws to 1st look difficult.

Schafer on the other hand is coming on strong, has hit in 6 of his last 7 games. 3 of the games he had 2 hits and last night he showed some power. Really happy to see him turn it around

6/14/2011 1:37:06 PM

Andy McCullough
Ledger_NYMets Andy McCullough
Freddie Freeman has been scratched with a mild right oblique strain. In case you were wondering.

6/14/2011 6:33:19 PM

Yep, Gwinnett would score more runs than this lineup

Braves are toast if JJ gives up more than two

6/14/2011 7:07:29 PM

Man I don't know how we are doing it put if this pitching rotation dies off the season is gonna shit the bed

6/14/2011 7:37:01 PM

If it's like previous years when the pitching dies the bats will come alive and we'll lose games 8-7

6/14/2011 7:47:52 PM

6/14/2011 9:30:26 PM

Even though the mets hit us hard tonight I still think its the best pitching in the league

6/14/2011 11:46:09 PM

5 Years ago Chipper knocks that one out.

6/15/2011 7:10:30 AM

at least uggla is heating up somewhat...got to keep it going.

Ryan Klesko put a gun to a guy's head outside a Waffle House

No, that's not a Mad Lib

6/15/2011 12:52:17 PM

LOL at Klesko. I still consider him one of the biggest wastes of talent even though he had a few good years. As a kid, I expected him to be the next Eddie Matthews.

6/15/2011 1:18:05 PM

i had a weird obsession with Ryan Klesko as a kid.

6/15/2011 1:26:30 PM

I was always fascinated by the two years he stole over 20 bases when before or after that he never stole more than like 5.

6/15/2011 1:38:32 PM

I remember getting this card for my seventh or eighth birthday, and thinking it would be worth a fortune some day.

6/15/2011 7:34:02 PM

Tarp is off. 830 first pitch.

6/15/2011 8:08:22 PM

I wonder if this will ruin Klesko's lawn tractor endorsement deal

Were you on drugs as a kid?

6/15/2011 8:50:08 PM

what's so wrong with klesko? he had a solid career. i wonder if i still have my chipper jones/ryan klesko 'coming attractions' card

6/15/2011 9:15:39 PM

Lucky sons of bitches. This rain ain't stopping.

Congrats on a loss being wiped from the books.

6/15/2011 9:41:15 PM

Good news for the Braves. Bad news is that the lineup will still be shit tomorrow.

Whiny twat. Mets still won the fucking game. Can't believe the Marlins lost that night cap with Phillies. Lost 2.5 games in the standings in two days. Mets need to realize they suck.

6/16/2011 7:05:40 AM

Fuck you MLBN. Boston at Tampa is more regional to NC than mets at Atlanta??

6/16/2011 7:12:19 PM

More like fuck you MLB

6/16/2011 7:18:38 PM

Great. Hanson scratched from tomorrows game with right shoulder tendinitis.

6/16/2011 7:48:16 PM

Yeah, AA guy called up

wtf was Schafer doing

[Edited on June 16, 2011 at 7:52 PM. Reason : Reyes has 47 hits this series]

Atta boy Chipper

6/16/2011 8:11:59 PM

Brooks Conrad is channeling his inner-Nick Johnson.

.205 with a .347 OBP?

[Edited on June 16, 2011 at 10:06 PM. Reason : also, fuck him]

Ron Gant is the most boring motherfucker on the planet
