Heh, if you look at my posts in April (when Langer had an OBP over .400) it was probably more than borderline.

Now I'm just in love with his 'D'.


By the way, Chuck James has a through 5 innings...

How did McCann get a catcher's interference?

[bravosfan]

No clue, I must've missed that.

Royce freaking Clayton gets the Reds first hit, a 2-run homer. Game tied.

EDIT: James is losing it fast. A walk and a double, Reds have a couple in scoring position...

And that's all for Chuck.

[bravosfan]

It's fallin' apart here in the 6th. 4-2 Reds, and they've got runners on the corners...

EDIT: Failed squeeze turns into a double play.

Last time I take a shower in the middle of a game. I get in the shower, we have a no hitter going, get out and we're down 4-2.

RBI double by Giles, 4-3 now.

Andruw responds to rumors

Quote:

"It'd be nice if somebody from the Braves' [front] office came and told me," Jones said. "I think it's rude. Somebody should at least call and say, 'Hey, it's nothing,' or maybe, 'It's something.' " And would it be offensive if it were something? "Yeah, it'd still be messed up, because you're talking about one of your players that you've had here forever," Jones said of his career with Atlanta, which will reach its 10th anniversary on Aug. 15. "I don't think they would do that with Chipper [Jones] or 'Smoltzie' [John Smoltz] if it happened when they were available for stuff like that."

Quote:

"When you play the game, you don't think about that stuff, you just go out there and play," Jones said. "It happens or it doesn't. I would just appreciate it if somebody, [Braves general manager John] Schuerholz or [assistant GM] Frank Wren, would pick up the phone and say, 'Andruw, it's just rumors' or whatever."
