I at least prefer losses to come on friday or saturday when alcohol is in my immediate future. Farnsy should eliminate a lot of these problems

The right handed Scott Thorman is up trying to begin a rally. Don't see it happening. Time to snap out of it Glaus

Exactly. Plus it's good momentum for the trade. Now with Farnsworth we won't have to deal with Bobby being too afraid to replace his starters in the 6th and 7th innings because of low pitch count.

Welcome our new starting center fielder tomorrow. Melky returns to his rightful place as right handed platoon guy. Even though he's better left handed, have to do it.

Bobby loses another one with bad pen management. Wasn't Moylan up in the pen? It's the 7th inning, not the 6th! :pcprobs: :pcprobs:

My standard def TVs do it but not HD. It's Fox's fault

OMG what a pitch sequence by JJ. Made Votto look ridiculous

I think the Figgins thing was Wren trying to unload another bad contract like KK. Didn't put any faith in that. Figgins has shown his *** this season in the clubhouse also. Glad it didn't happen. KK may do a better job than Chavez in the long reliever role I hope.

Yeah it's all good. You'll have to understand that about me. I don't express my opinions much on heated subjects of mine, but when I do you'll know it. Because I kinda suck at it. The info is there but people aren't very fond of how I express it. I've seen a lot worse though, believe me. All of my real life friends are sports newbs or casual fans, and the one that's not is a gamer that sleeps all day, so they luck out. Have to let it fly from time to time. Glaus is leaving a big hole in the lineup right now. If he got hot again we'd go back to scoring 6 a game.

Such is the life of a diehard sports fan that likes the internet. I'd rather get my rants out in comfortable places directed at random people than get into arguments with the sources. But if someone's going to accuse somebody of something, at least read and understand what was said. AUfisherman, if you want people to get along, try not stirring the pot. What I said was basically an FU to Philly fans trashing the deal and not to anyone here. A4E was just the scapegoat but I tried to explain it wasn't at him. Now let's all get along starting now Need some insurance and stop wasting men on 3rd < 1 out.

Perhaps you should quit kissing hind parts and read where I said that practically none of the rant was directed at him. I'd rather post that rant with you guys than get into extended arguments with morons. It's better that way

BTW, in what freaking world do you live in where a .8 whip and 1.98 era is "not working out well." If this time is better you might as well place us in the series right now. PS. With no losses, no blown saves

Think for a second. Chavez for Farnsy? his whip is 1.16 this season in case you didn't know. AND... AND... wasn't he our closer/8th inning guy that year? Now he's a quality 8th inning guy adding to an already deep bullpen where he'll pitch mostly in the 6th innings, especially when Lowe and Hanson pitch. This is a GREAT trade for the Braves. Blanco was hot this year but lets be realistic. Ankiel has been on fire since he got off the DL, plus have you ever seen him play defense? The people downplaying this deal really have their heads somewhere up some hind parts. First, trading Happ AND prospects for a lesser Oswalt (Happ is better, younger, and owns the NL east) is good for the Phillies, and now swapping Chavez for Farnsy is bad? This isn't directed much at you. Just wanted to get that rant out there before i lose my mind at these morons
