Open thread, 8/15, Braves vs. Juan Tyrone Eichelbergers
Is there a better baseball name than Juan Tyrone Eichelberger?
Great news from Gwinnett last night — Julio Teheran pitched 8 innings, allowing five hits, one run, walking none and striking out 9.
Melky was just suspended 50 games for
being a major douchebaga failed drug test. Moron.http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2012/baseball/mlb/08/15/melk-cabrera-suspended-failed-drug-test.ap/index.html?eref=BrkNews
Love it.
Melkey just went from MVP to Moron. He would be eligible to play in the 6th game of the playoffs. But Braves fans know what a Low-T Melkey looks like. It’s all over but the lying.
Yep, he’ll be ol’ Bulky next time we see him.
“Bulky.” That’s perfect! Finally a logical reason why he sucked piss while in Atlanta but was Superman in San Fran.
Man that karma stuff is a bitch!
In a pre-game Tweet, Chipper referred to Juan Francisco as “Roadrunner”.
Francisco has been better over the last couple months, and he has a pretty good arm, but I still cannot see him as an everyday third-baseman.
Solid “W” last night. Hope the Braves can keep this trend of good pitching and good offense going down the stretch.
I’m really liking how Uggla is hitting the ball lately; if he has a strong September and everybody else keeps up their good work we might stand a chance of catching the gNats.
We should all consider sending Ryan Dempster a gift basket or something like that for turning us down. I think Maholm could prove to be the difference maker that we needed down the stretch.
Also, love this quote from Victor Conte about PED use in baseball, and how easy it is to beat the testing:
“To circumvent the test is like taking candy from a baby,” he said, according to USA Today. “It’s so easy to circumvent. I call it the ‘duck-and-dodge’ system. The only people that get caught are the dumb, and the dumber.”
So does that make Melky dumb, or dumber?
