I had a hard time watching at time though because it started to become eerily too similar to the 2005 Divisional Series in Houston. One of the worst games I ever spent half my day watching. The loss last night isn't as bad all things considered but we really can't leave LA w/o a series win. See ya 'round, Dan. <a href="http://bravesblogger.wordpress.com" rel="nofollow">~JB@The Launching Pad</a> What a game!

I love that site too and of course I would love for a fellow Braves blogger to earn the distinction. When did you go to PNC by the way? I was at Wrigley this month. <a href="http://bravesblogger.wordpress.com/road-trips/" rel="nofollow">You can see some of my photos here</a> Although I will admit they're not as entertaining as yours.

It's been painful. I still think.... Frenchy CAN play well. We know he can. He just stinks right now. I don't even think HE knows why but he seems to be mentally just gone. As bad as things are we're only four games out. We've had consistently good starting pitching lately and Gonzo got another save making me think he could be finding his groove along with Tex. Now I'm not just all roses about things but I don't think we're in a position to call it quits just yet. JB http://bravesblog.net You’re right. It’s been painful. I still think….

They definitely need to make some changes, because yes, what they have been doing isn't working. I am sick of Yunel acting like a baby. I have seen fly balls hit to the outfield, especially to RIGHT FIELD, that should have been caught, but were allowed to drop for hits. Jeff continues to suck at the plate. The mental errors, especially on the basepaths, have just been mind boggling. The things that piss me off about this team the most are the lack of offense, and the lackadaisical way most of the team goes about their business. A few weeks ago, Chipper said the other players "better start stepping it up". Well, besides him and Brian, there has been NO PICK UP in intensity. No sense of urgency, no fire. This team is boring to watch. I haven’t watched the Braves play the last 2 nights because I have been watching the Dawgs.

Can't someone in that clubhouse stop the madness? Make Bobby back slowly away from the board while they rip down a lineup sheet that has Frenchy and Norton hitting higher than McCann???

I have never been a Bobby Cox fan, and the stuff he is pulling is just mind boggling. Texeira sucks bad, and he needs to go. The Kelly drop was a killer, and I haven't even recovered from that. Right now, this team is the worst in baseball. Nothing is obviously working, and the team just goes through the motions day after day. I am sick of it! I fell asleep last night with the score 1-1, and wake up later to find out we had our a** handed to us again. The baserunning errors, swinging at bad pitches, etc. Tonights game is getting ready to start and I am thinking "Do I really want to waste my time?", if this crap is going to continue.

He has had a couple of good weeks, but been crap the rest of the year. He should be leading the world in RBI's with Chipper in front of him, but he is just not giving anyone pause to pitch to him out there. He and Frenchy are holes in our lineup.

Maybe Infante would have a better glove there. Of course I'm with you, I don't want to bench Brandon Jones right now either. The epiphany I had about Tex was in Chicago. I was at the game in Wrigley and witnessed Mark watch strike three cross the plate in the 10th inning with 2 outs and two men on base. It's a tie game! Swing the bat at anything close! Even a fly out would make me less irritated than watching him look at the ball cross the plate. At this point he'd have to prove to me he doesn't suck at anything other than great defense at first base. I don’t know about Diaz at first. Maybe Infante would have a better glove there.
