It did occur to me that batting him second was the reason he made that error in the first.

AWWWW, Ike, whatchyu swingin at man?

[DocTee]

Out of NY Mets fans: if you have MLB Network, you get the SNY feed of this game.

Awesome! Did not know that-- thanks much for the info!

Dumbest play I saw this season -- even though Wright's sac fly plated Dickey. Reyes has too much speed to worry about a DP. And if his hitting is so comprised because of his injury, so as to justify the sac bunt, then Reyes shouldn't be playing ... or at least shouldn't be batting second. What's the point of playing Reyes if injuries have, for now, reduced him to Miguel Cairo?

[Zvon]

I have to agree.
Reyes should be up on the shelf.
(ooo, but he wants to play, waaaaa. Yea, and I wanna get laid tonight. What are we gonna do?)

I think Keith just hit on what this team REALLY needs!
A reliefer!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Has he been crying?

I disagree. I don't think he should be on a shelf. I just think he shouldn't be bunting. At all.

Now, Jerry's playing for the 2-1 game on defense.

[Guest Edgy DC]

How about Francoeur coming up to "I just wanna use your love tonight" song?

[Zvon]

I disagree. I don't think he should be on a shelf. I just think he shouldn't be bunting. At all.

Only crying to Jerry that he wants to play this series, and I guess I really shouldn't hold that against him.
Wait...I don't.
What Ronnie said:Sometimes you have to manage a player instead of letting him manage you.

He is our switch hitting speedster lead off hitter. If he's too injured to do two of those things, I don't think he should play.
He is a WAY to important cog in our engine.
If he ends up injured for any long length of time, we are in serious trouble.

I really wish he wasn't goin to the AS game and could rest that quad for three days.

Just my opinion tho bro.
I respect yours. I hear ya.
The bunting. Gah.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Who reported his crying?

Can the Braves, by the way, be allowed to win in these uniforms?

Glaus up with two on and two out is not goodness.

[Zvon]

I believe I did, right up there ^.

[Zvon]

Dicky with his 2nd hit.
And you see that form?
Woohooo.

LETS

[Zvon]

Jose can't bunt here, right?

[Zvon]

Shelf?
What shelf?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

This bunting... will give me... a stroke tonight.

[Guest Kong76]

Every time I pay attention, they're bunting. Need to stop
paying attention ...

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Fucking Milky Cabrera

[Guest Kong76]

Braves gettin' homer happy

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Gaaaaaaaaawdammit.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Turning point is the bunt sign. Too painful.

This is why you don't play for one run when your middle of the lineup is due up with two men already on base and six innings to play. Because while you're scoring one run, they're scoring four. When the fuck does he play for the big inning? When Thole and Tejada are due up?

[Zvon]

I blame all you guys for this recent turn of events.
I see a LETS hanging alone last page with no followup.

This here is just bad karma.

[Guest Edgy DC]

[Guest Kong76]

Davis with back to back green lookin' blunders in the field ...

[Zvon]

[Guest Edgy DC]

[Guest Edgy DC]

This defecit isn't on Dickey. Manuel puts these guys in impossible situations.

[Guest Kong76]

Don't get the pic, Edge ... and I'm in no hurry for Beltran.

I can't get this play out of my head. It's like having Billie Don't be a Hero stuck in my brain on an endless loop. Jerry has Reyes sac bunt with Wright, the hottest hitter in all of baseball, Ike Davis, who can't go a week and a half without hitting a 450 foot homer and Jason Bay, the All Star $60M dollar investment all due up next. What's the point of having that middle?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Plenty of time to bemon the fukups afterward. Right now we need Jason Bay to do something very positive.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

I'm with you, BML.

I'm going to see if a scotch or two can't help with that.

(Also, with wiping away them ugly Bay ABs from my memory.)
