And have made the Braves outfield arguably the best in the league. Chipper looks incredible at 3rd, Dan Uggla has really proved me wrong since struggling so badly out of the gate, young pitchers and bullpen are really coming together. Watch out Philly. Think we got something for ya now. Fear the chop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lerxt1990 Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Atlanta will play people tough. Phillies will be up there, but Brewers also look NASTY. West Div. is a fraud, will only win if one of the other teams slumps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why some Brewer fans are worried.... They've gone 22-3 since July 24th. That is extremely unreal. Lots of people might think, Hey, they're gonna come back to Earth, and they might choke in the playoffs.... I don't think they'll choke, but I do know that anything can happen in the playoffs. All the glory of the regular season can be erased by one bad series in October..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inthend Posted September 9, 2011 Author Share Posted September 9, 2011 Well life is better today. Braves come off a VERY surprizing sweep by Philly, and win both games in a double header with Mets. Yes nothing like sauving your wounds with some New Yorkers. Ahhh, that feels good. Anyway, not much to say except Atlanta has been extraordinary in finding young pitching talent this year. Saw a new one today in this kid from Columbia. The country, that is. Anyway, first major league game and he gives 1 run in the first and 0 in the next five. Minor, another rookie is 5-1. Think he's pitching next game. Liked him from the start. Very fluid throwing motion. Top's at about 92-93mph. And got another rookie, can't remember his name, that's 4-2 I think. Let's see... Oh, Brain McCann gets the tough man award this week, as most catchers do, for getting tatooed right in the middle of his chest by a foul tip in the final loss to Phillies and taking another nasty one on the inside of his knee in the first game today that left a ugly knot. Ross caught the second game. Was called the best backup in the league by announcer. He's a good hitter I know that. Oh, Dan Uggla thought he was going to lose his family jewels today. Forget who was hitting for NY, but he just SMOKED a line drive one hopper right at Uggla. Dan coundn't jump high enough! Missed the ball about 2 ft. Went right between his legs! Luckly for Uggla, SS Gonzales missed an easy back hander the very next batter. Extremely rare. It ought to be, cause I haven't seen him hit the ball in I don't know when. He even popped up a bunt the other day. Come on Alex, hit the cage. Nothing else to say except Chipper Jones is truely a great player and team captain. Take away his golden glove play at 3rd and his incredible artistry with a bat, and your still left with an onfield precence second to none. Whether it blasting an upper deck shot or a clutch sacrifice to get that man on third home, making that long throw to first look easy every time or exhorting even the vets, that man comes to win every night. Chipper you are the man! Fear the chop! PS- And he has beautiful brown eyes too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
