You'll have to wait until next season for that. Howard will be back to 100% a year removed from his ruptured Achilles tendon. The Phillies will be back to knocking the Braves out of the playoffs in an embarrassing fashion in no time.

that 1-2 wins that Howard provides will lead the Phillies to the world series!

 

[rando14]

Score 13 runs, still lose.

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

Hanson: 41 strikes, 37 balls. Damn

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Braves need to non-tender Jurrjens and Hanson after the season. Both are completely broken forever.

 

[CygnusXS]

Hey Tommy, THROW STRIKES

 

[Windu]

Braves need to non-tender Jurrjens and Hanson after the season. Both are completely broken forever.

I'm not ready to give up on hanson, but jurrjens sure.

 

[cashman]

Angels and red sox deserve each other.

 

[rekameohs]

Aceves has over 12% of the Red Sox losses by himself. rofl

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

Thank you for doing something Pence.

 

[CygnusXS]

oh my god

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

Getting some separation.

Edit: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

[Windu]

5 runs behind, quick! warm up kimbrel!

 

[Enron]

And thus begins the Braves' tailspin.

I'm calling it now. 10 games behind the Nats, and will get no closer. Also, no playoffs. You heard it here first.

 

[CygnusXS]

well that got out of hand quickly

fuck you tommy

fuck you freeman

fuck you uggla

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Fredi looked like he wanted to shank someone.

 

[Dominican Power]

There's gonna be a lot of salt in September.

 

[Windu]

Fredi gonna have to choke a bitch

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

I forgot there are so many Braves fans here. Who is the most represented team on Gaf?

Spoiler

Probably the Yankees

 

[CygnusXS]

chipper the best

Yup, see the first page. I think Braves/Mets fans are usually the best represented when you weight for post count though.

Also: there seem to be a lot more Nats fans than there were at the beginning of the season!

 

[A Black Falcon]

The Sox are obviously pretty much done (another really disappointing game today... there's absolutely no way they should have lost this game!), but hey, at least the Sea Dogs (my local team, and the Sox AA team) are hot... too bad that they'd gotten down to 17 games under .500 at the All-Star Break, so despite a 9-1 last 10 games (and a 15-4 August) they're still 2 games under .500 and 3 1/2 out of a playoff spot... there are only 12 more games, so they'll need to continue to be this good to have a chance of making the postseason.

Ya I was looking over that its just outdated. I wonder why there are more Nats fans!

He's been to the World Series and won a World Series within the last 15 years. That's more than you can say of the Braves.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Braves were last in the world series in 1999, which was less than 15 years ago.

 

[The Outsider]

This fucking team. Man.

 

[RobotHaus]

Bahaha, just saw this on SA.

This battle of overbloated budget failures is hilarious.

I find this interesting, do you think in the future more teams will be willing to spend less with the success of smaller teams? Or is it just a silly pipedream?

It doesn't matter anyway. I don't hate the Braves that much right now. I would rather see the Braves win than the Washington Nationals at this point.

 

[Sharp]

I know, isn't it weird?

You'd rather see an opposing franchise in your division that has won a World Series win than one that hasn't? Hater.

 

[Corran Horn]

Just got finished watching this on netflix...totally forgot how little the Bonds #73 HR ball sold for
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Up_for_Grabs_(film)


...maybe I should watch it more often if that means zito actually pitches well.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

The division is gone. Not duplicating last years collapse is the goal. Hopefully that doesn't happen again.

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

Zito shut out? I shouldn't jinx it.

 

[Corran Horn]

Zito shut out? I shouldn't jinx it.

Could be his 2nd complete game in a season* since 2003!


*edit lulz

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Zito's at 110 pitches. Don't count on it.

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

Worth all $126 million! I fucking jinxed it of course. Oh well great job by Zito.

 

[Corran Horn]

Poor zito....




....I almost cared for him

 

[JABEE]

I don't want to see either team win the World Series.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

I'd be more supportive of the Nats if they weren't going to totally fuck up their run by shutting Strasburg down.

 

[Windu]

time for the braves to get shutout by barry zito

I was wrong! Horray!

 

[Jubs]

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

I was wrong! Horray!

But you were so close!

 

[Corran Horn]

I hate you

 

[rekameohs]

I can understand. A fan of the National League East wouldn't want those nasty Nats to win. That franchise is in like every damn year. Now the Braves, they deserve a pity playoff berth. You know what, throw in a "few" consecutive ones.

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

sigh

 

[Jubs]

here's dan uggla to make the first out.

 

[Corran Horn]

Why did I stop listening to this on the radio and turned on the tv...

 

[Mr. Enigma]

McCann has a chance to atone for his shitty ass August if he hits a game-tying bomb here.

EDIT: nvm, just stand there and watch, you fat fuck.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

I hate that damn monkey.

 

[Joey Fox]

I haven't really noticed Nats fans that didn't post some last year.

Unless we're counting that anime guy.

 

[Jubs]

Unless we're counting that anime guy.

Frankman is a Mets fan, not a Nats fan.

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

Frankman is a recovering Mets fan, not a Nats fan.
