Full Version: Braves choke away another one
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
Kenny Ray blows a 5-2 8th inning lead, but the Braves load the bases with 1 out in the 10th. That results in no runs. In the bottom half, the Marlins had 2 on, 0 out when Mike Remlinger fields a bunt attempt and tries to go to 3rd for the force play. Instead, the ball sails down the left field line and the Fish win 6-5.

Hello, 13th loss in 16 games.
Hello, 12 game defecit.
And hopefully, hello, unemployment line for the entire 'pen pretty soon. 01-lauramac2
I can't take it anymore.

It's time for the entire bullpen to go (Ray gets a pass because he's been outstanding and shouldn't have been in the game in the 8th anyway). Sosa and Thomson have to go. Giles has to go. LaDouche and Jordan have to go. I wouldn't be upset if we traded Chipper. Langerhans can go. Pratt can go.

Time for a fire sale, JS.

2007 team should look like this...

C - Brian McCann
1B - Scott Thorman/free agent
2B - Martin Prado
SS - Edgar Renteria
3B - Wilson Betemit
LF - Kelly Johnson/free agent
CF - Andruw Jones
RF - Jeff Francoeur

SP - John Smoltz
SP - Tim Hudson
SP - Chuck James
SP - Kyle Davies
SP - Horacio Ramirez

CP - Free agent

That team may or may not contend, but at least they'd be better than this embarrasment of a ball club. It's time for serious changes to be made.
i would trade hudson. its a picthers market. (detorit) the marlins arent that bad as brave fans think
No, we can't trade Hudson. We're hurting for quality starters.

well i thought you ready to tank the season. everyone is looking for a top three starter and that is were you will get your value back. you should get a starter next year out of the deal plus some
I'm ready to tank this season, but I want us to compete next year. We need Hudson to compete. I'm not in favor of a complete fire sale, just a major shakeup.
Sosa and Thomson have to go. Giles has to go. LaDouche and Jordan have to go. I wouldn't be upset if we traded Chipper. Langerhans can go. Pratt can go.

wont bring you much
Giles could get us a good reliever, and Chipper could also bring back a lot if someone is willing to take his salary, but that's besides the point. I'm not looking for a lot in trades, I'm looking for us to build around the young talent in our system and get rid of the garbage that's dragging this team down.
