Arena The Atlanta Braves Thread

That was a tough ending to watch last night. Not only could the Braves not get anything in support while Kawakami was on the mound, but the collision between Heyward and McClouth didn't look good at all. And that collision meant Moylan got charged with the first HR he'd given up in over 100 innings.

At least Heyward seemed to come away fine, hopefully McClouth will be ok as well. Walking off under his own power last night was a good sign.

 

tonight just seemed to be a very long game....glad we won it though. Now off to verse the Twins.

 

2 out of 3 from the Twins, not bad.

gotta watch the Mets though. They're only a game behind.

 

I spent almost the entire weekend with a friend from Minnesota

Glad the Braves won that series in particular

 

We have to win these next few games. If the Mets win tonight and we lose, Mets will be number 1.

 

Tough right now when the Braves are playing the Rays, who have had the best record in baseball... and the Mets are playing Cleveland, who... yeah.

Killer start to interleague play for the Braves against Minnesota and Tampa Bay... but at least the Royals are up next, before we see the White Sox and Tigers.

 

Last night was just embarrassing.

 

Looking much better so far tonight, though. Hopefully they can hang on

'Nuff said.

 

That is awesome. It took me like 30 minutes to get the joke (I saw it here then on someone at tonight's game.)

 

2 out of 3 from the Rays!

 

Going for the sweep of Kansas City today, after Troy Glaus hit a walk-off homer yesterday

How many walk-offs is that for the Braves this year now?

 

Don't know, but it probably won't be the last.

And we swept them.

 

Kawakami starts, the Braves win... but Kawakami struggled early and doesn't get a win.

He may not have much more time, with Jurrjens coming back around the end of the month.

 

I think KK is going to be gone...

 

ESPN's MLB power rankings are out, and they have the Braves at #4. For some reason, they are rated behind a team we have a better record than and just won a series against (Tampa Bay). They did the same thing last week, putting the Twins ahead of us.

 

On MSN sprts, were Number 3, the rays are 4th.

 

swept by the white sox....seemingly the mets will take 1st place...

 

Need to bounce back this weekend.

 

still barely in 1st place...

 

barely won that game...

 

Struggled in the 9th, but a win is a win. And hey, even more amazing, it was a win for Kawakami, finally!

 

yay


Now tonight we vs Strasburg. Unfortunatly Heyward may not be playing due to his finger....

 

Hudson vs Strasburg... don't expect to see too many runs tonight.

Though I won't be watching. College World Series championship series!

 

And the Braves crush the mighty Strasburg!
