Youre stuck in the 90's man, the Braves arent as big a threat as they used to be, the hitting is still pretty decent, but the pitching is no where near what it was. |
I used to love watching Glavine, Maddux, Smoltz, Millwood, Wohlers, and Neagle dominate games on TBS |

Yes, thats because they get alot of competition from the other teams in their division right? They wont win the division this year, I think the Mets and Phillies (when they get their act together) will be ahead of them. |

my quick review of ballparks I finally got to visit this week
Angels Stadium: a nicer place to watch a game than I expected. Good sightlines, lots of shops, lots of activities to do besides the game. Nice walkway by the left field (ala citizens bank park). I sat behind home plate in the upper deck, and the amtrak trains that passed by behind on higher elevasiton definitely added to view. The only thing annoying were the thunder stix rattling during the game. Other that that, I recommend going to a game here :D
Dodger Stadium: a classic. The view past the outfield seeing Chavez Raviene and the palm trees is just spectaular. I like the "Think Blue" sign that is in left field. As for stuff to do besides the game, not much here. It's just a pure baseball atmosphere. However, the countless number of beachballs flying throughout the stadium really got annoying. And of course, traffic really sucks after the game. Despite the small annoyances, I definitely recommend going to a game in this classic ballpark :D :D |

| Lol, Mo blows the save tonight... Mo is really starting to let me down, hes just not the same Mo anymore - although he does have the best split fastball, alot of batters are becoming used to it and alot more of them are starting to get their bat on it. |

Are you crazy?

That was last years numbers. Add that to the 18 BBs and you get a grand total of a... 0.87 WHIP! A 1.38 ERA! A .177 OAVG! All that is good for... THE BEST YEAR OF HIS CAREER!
Didn't Mariano blow two consecutive saves to start the season last year? And against the Red Sox, no less?
And, if it took batters 10 years to become used to his cutter, which is the only pitch he throws, I'd say that's pretty damn good. I doubt Francisco Rodriguez makes it that long just throwing his slider. |
