Wow! I'm watching the presser. Chino and Hubbard look to not be returning. TP will not be hitting coach as they are interviewing others. I may have missed it but I just heard someone say he would be our new 1B coach. Did anyone else hear this?

Same here. I absolutely hate the Mets and Phils and would rather the Yanks win any day over those two.

You aren't kidding. I always have withdrawls during the week after baseball season is finished because I watch every game. Braves baseball has always been a big part of my life.

Oh yeah. 'Made a lot of people very angry.

Yep. They didn't wait long to announce Fredi. I think it's the best move for us. I also think this has been in the works for quite sometime and has something to do with Fredi being let go from the Marlins. It also probably has to do with why the Marlins were the only team to not honor Bobby on his last trip into town. It still makes me furious thinking about that.

Thanks for all the memories, Bobby. And thanks to Fisherman for creating the Bobby Cox tribute thread. Ok, I think Fredi will be our next manager with Eddie Perez as bench coach and McDowell staying as the pitching coach. I love TP but I think he's gone and quite frankly needs to be. I hope they decide to hold on to Snitker, Hubbard, and Chino. I have a feeling that the following guys are gone: Glaus, Diaz, Conrad, Lee, Cabrera, and Ankiel. I'd love to see us go after a big bat in the outfield (this is just about essential, imo.) like Dunn or Werth and wouldn't mind seeing Ankiel could come back as a 4th outfielder if the price is right. I would think Cabrera's gone because he's too expensive for his production. I also don't see Conrad being back with Diory ready to assume the backup utility man role. Man, I'm already ready for March! It's just not going to be the same w/o Bobby down there cheering on every batter... "C'mon, kid!" Again, thanks for the memories, Bobby, and GO BRAVOS!!!

You are so right. We shouldn't have made it this far with all the casualties we've been dealt. I am proud of them no matter what. Let's go out and win another one for the skipper, boys.

As hard as it may be to forget about, we need to put what transpired yesterday behind and figure out a way to win that game tonight. Man I am bummed but not all hope is lost yet.

No offense, man. We just don't allow posts with language like that on AE, bleeped or not. It's obvious what you were saying and that's the point. Ok, to the game. I am extremely upset with that blown call. There is no excuse for an umpire to be out of position to make a call in such an important game. That one freaking call changed the game. I'm not saying we would have won but we would have definitely been going into the bottom of the 9th. 0-0 and it would've turned into a battle of the bullpens. This is a short series, which makes the call even bigger. What a shame. We gotta forget about it, though, and come out tonight and find a way to get a W. Go Bravos!

It's all good, man. We just pride ourselves in not letting fans of other teams jump on our Braves thread and talk smack to us. WDE!

That junk will not be tolerated in this thread. Seriously!

Here's to hoping the bats woke up for good yesterday!

All hail, King Bobby! We made it, fellas'. They 'bout gave me a heart attack in the process but it doesn't matter now. Alright, Bravos! Let's make a run at this thing now that we're in!

That would be perfect since Sat. is Bobby Cox Day. He could enjoy it without all the pressure.... Exactly! I'd love for him to be able to relax and take it all in even though he hates all the attention. HAHA! We're in pretty good shape now, fellas. Go Bravos!

i figured that was coming. That's a big blow to our team.

Heck yeah. We got the lead back last night! 'Kind of a LAMP but I was there in dugout seats on the first base line. C'mon, Bravos! Lets get the bats going and pull this thing out for Bobby.

I understand your frustration, bro, but is that really necessary? No matter how this season turns out, Bobby's still one of the best of all time. Alright! Let's not roll over, Bravos! We still have hope for atleast the wildcard. You haven't seen me post in this thread of late because I've been so frustrated with the team and didn't want to say something I didn't mean. HAHA! I'm back, though, and (as always) behind my Bravos 100%. Let's do this thing and make the playoffs one way or another.

HA! Yeah. His ERA was slightly lower down there but it should be with the talent not being up to the MLB standards.

Good lord.Here's to a RAINOUT!!!!!!!!!!!!! BLAHAHAHA!!!! Maybe he'll have one of those rare dominating outings that he had a few times last year.

Great win! 'Still up 3 with the days tickin' away. I guess ya'll have heard that the Japanese Nightmare will be starting in place of Lowe on Friday. I'm just bustin' on Kawakami. HAHA! Ever since I first heard that nickname, I've thought it was hilarious.

That team never ceases to amaze me. I mean, WOW! We were completely out of that game and BAM! Here we go. Bravos win! Man, I'm pumped and it's already been a day. HAHA!

'May actually be good for him (and his fans) in the long run. You usually come back stronger and more durable. It also qute frequently adds 2 or 3 mph to your fastball. Can you imagine that kid throwing even harder? WOW! This is true but you have to feel bad for the young man. Is Dr. Andrews doing the surgery? No doubt. It's never really a good thing when you have to be cut on. 'Must be a bummer for him. I was just going by statistics. So many come back more durable and stronger and with added velocity these days, you know.

'May actually be good for him (and his fans) in the long run. You usually come back stronger and more durable. It also qute frequently adds 2 or 3 mph to your fastball. Can you imagine that kid throwing even harder? WOW!

I imagine there was a lot of booing going on at the end of that one. HA!

PHILLIES LOST! 'Finally gained some on them. 'Up 3 and comin' home! Not bad.
