2006 Atlanta Braves Discussion

Listening to the game on KNBR.....damn.

He needs to settle down, quick.

EDIT: Ugh, we leave the bases loaded. Two on and no out turns into stranding three runners. Francoeur gets robbed of a HR by Bonds, what are you gonna do?

EDIT: Why the hell are their balls carrying and ours aren't?!

Francoeur converts, 2-2 ball game!

[bravosfan]

I could be wrong, but I don't think that shot by Francoeur was going over the fence. Good play by Bonds, though.

Braves have hit a couple more this inning that were caught at the fence...

Frenchy with a 2-run single, tie game!

4-2 now as Alou misplays the LaRoche single.

[TheMatrix31]

Two more, baby! 4-2

Let's go Langer-Banger!

I think you're the first one to call him that besides me... he K's, though.

Braves up 4-2 after 3.

[TheMatrix31]

I usually call him "You sorry bastard"....but I figured if we called him Langer-Banger, he'd play like did early on in the year.

EDIT: LMAO! I'm listening to the KNBR feed, some HILARIOUS hecklers.

"You're going to jail, Barry! YOU'RE GOING TO JAIL!"
"Hey, Barry, your boyfriend's in jail!"

At least he still plays 'D'.

Though I do think he's capable of a bit more at the plate. He's been pretty awful since that first month or so...

I'm not sure why Diaz is riding the pine again, he played pretty well when he got the chance a couple weeks ago. His defense is nowhere close to Langer's, though, only reason I can figure he's not out there everyday.

[TheMatrix31]

Eh, it's a platoon, what do you expect?

I expect Diaz to be a full time starter next season.

EDIT: Chipper with the 3-run shot!

**Does Carlton-Will Apache Dance**

[bravosfan]

3-run shot by Chipper, 7-2!
