ESPN – Braves vs. Astros Box Score, September 30 2007 – MLB How depressing. Buddy Carlyle gave up three runs in the first, and the Braves didn’t do squat offensively and thus lost, even though the pitching after that was pretty good. Chipper went 0-3 with a walk, falling to .337, and is extremely unlikely … Continue reading “Astros 3, Braves 0”

ESPN – Braves vs. Astros Box Score, September 29 2007 – MLB Huh. To be honest, I didn’t watch this game, or pay any attention to it whatsoever. Chipper went 1-3 and is still at .339. Jeff Bennett gave up a two-run homer to Berkman in the first and a solo shot to the pitcher, … Continue reading “Astros 3, Braves 2”

ESPN – Braves vs. Astros Box Score, September 28 2007 – MLB I considered not recapping this under my “I don’t recap exhibition games” policy. I mean, it’s a regular-season game, but has no bearing on anything really important. Bobby treated it like an exhibition game, too, starting several reserves and pulling most of his … Continue reading “Braves 7, Astros 2”

ESPN – Braves vs. Phillies Box Score, September 27 2007 – MLB Well, the Braves have been officially eliminated. It doesn’t mean much to me, since I gave up about a month ago, but hope is officially dead. At least we helped the Mets in their quest for the biggest choke job in National League … Continue reading “Phillies 6, Braves 4”

ESPN – Braves vs. Phillies Box Score, September 26 2007 – MLB Well, so much for the hopeople. The Phillies took a 1-0 lead in the first on an RBI single by Howard. In the third, they got three runs, thanks in large part to a throwing error by Chipper that allowed a run to … Continue reading “Phillies 5, Braves 2”

ESPN – Braves vs. Phillies Box Score, September 25 2007 – MLB What, another come-from-behind win? One day, we’ll figure out how to wake this team up before mid-September and we’ll be in business. The Braves took a 3-0 lead in the first on a homer by Teixeira, but Chuck James allowed a leadoff homer … Continue reading “Braves 10, Phillies 6”

ESPN – Brewers vs. Braves Box Score, September 23 2007 – MLB Another thing we didn’t see until it was too late: The team not only coming back from a 4-1 deficit, but actually adding runs to a one-run lead late to make it more secure. Wow. The Braves got a 1-0 lead in the … Continue reading “Braves 7, Brewers 4”

ESPN – Brewers vs. Braves Box Score, September 22 2007 – MLB Mark Teixeira singled home Willie Harris with the winning run in the eleventh. Once again: Rah. John Smoltz had a no-hitter to two out in the sixth, but gave up a two-run opposite-field homer that tied the score. He finished with eight innings … Continue reading “Braves 4, Brewers 3 (11 innings)”

Again: Avoid hope. It’ll only wind up depressing you. I gave up hope weeks ago, and look at me now! Weeknights, I can barely stay awake past eight o’clock!

ESPN – Brewers vs. Braves Box Score, September 21 2007 – MLB Complete games suck. An apparent attempt to get Tim Hudson another one backfired tonight, when his 116th pitch of the night was lined to right for a game-tying single. Some overmanaging and poor relief work followed, and it was 3-1 by the end … Continue reading “Brewers 4, Braves 1”
