Since it appears this may be an excrutiating season for the Braves and I don't want to start a new thread ranting about them every night, I'll use this thread as a neat, compact area for my venting on my sorry team. You can use it to if you ever feel the need to chew on the ass of your team.

SCREW YOU, BRAVES!

I'm hoping the Astros are not deciding to go into a "we cannot hit the broad side of a brick wall" mode they seem to love to do every year for a month or so.

We feel your pain. It seems like the Braves go through a stretch like that every year, too. We can't buy a run right now. Not surprising when you have the brainless wonder Terry Pendelton as your hitting coach. We're going through a nasty spell right now, and it's killing me to watch. So much dominant pitching going to waste.

F#%& YOU BRAVES!!!!! F@!# YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!

**** the Reds!!!. They lose a game 7-1 last night in which they gave up 1 earned run. All 6 unearned runs (plus the earned run) came in the 2nd inning.

So 1 bad games out of 30 + and your cursing your team?!? I figured with the way the Reds ahve played the last couple of years, people would give just about anything to have a start like this, including ONE GAME, where they give up 6 unearned runs...

They've had hot starts like this recently, in 02 and 04, only to fade out in the summer. While it's nice to see the fast start, it's still frustrating to watch when the team beats itself with multiple bonehead plays.

Why can't the Astros win on the road?

because they aren't that good. but i guess not everyone can have our sick rotation. if cain is back, then our rotation is the best in the league. we have 6 starters.

I would go ballistic on the Braves, but I'm at a loss for words. Just speechless over how bad this team is.

the giants still suck, but our bullpen is shaping up to be amazing, which is pretty cool. i mean benitez still sucks, but accardo is pitching out of his mind, bringing the heat at 95, wilson is nasty and also throws 95. plus we just brought up our closer from AA, jonathan sanchez who has a ferocious slider. if this team would unload alou at the deadline and get some prospects it could rebuild. 2 things need to happen in order for us to rebuild quickly:
1) we must resign Schmidt, or trade him for a package of prospects
2) trade some veterans at the deadline and try to get some prospects

yeah, i guess things aren't going as planned in cleveland, are they? lee's been trash and victor's power numbers are nonexistent.

A couple good games = excitement in Atlanta.

Soon overshadowed by terrible losses at home to teams like Arizona.. :thumbdown:

A team is no better than it's owner is at managing it.

The Braves owner is AOL.

.... ouch ....

And the new ownership probably is only going to be worse.

Braves lose again tonight and are now 1-7 on their current homestand.

I could rip the team, but that speaks for itself.

I officially declare, on June 9th, 2006, the Braves run of division titles dead. Done. History. Finished. Gone. Bye-bye.

Reds had won 8 in a row but they lost last night. Were down 1 in the bottom of the ninth with the bases loaded and NO ONE out and they cant get the tying run across. Add that on to the 2 run double on a easy fly that Kearns slipped trying to get and the Reds should have won.

That was a tough loss and inexcusable not to win the game with the bases loaded and none out down only by a run, but I wouldn't hate on the Reds. They're entitled to a loss like that the way they've played. I thought early on that this was going to be 2004 all over again. They get off to a blazing start then fade into oblivion by the All-Star Break, but I think the Reds are a serious playoff contender. With Pujols out for a while, the door's open for the Reds to be in this division race all year long if they can open up a few games of seperation.
