Should we be one game back?!!

dabraves — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 19:53:28 -0000

I just caught this on the news. When the Colorado Rockies won on a double play on Sunday night a photograph has came out that shows the ball hit the ground and the inning was not over. The Cardinals would have at least tied the game. The Braves could possibly be down by one. As crazy as that is, is the replay system for MLB for homeruns only?

Any updates on Smoltzie or Glavine??

Just wanted to know if anyone has heard how rehab has been going for the two old farts on the staff ( that is if we resign them, god I hope we do cant help but love em).

And also is Smoltz looking at returning to the bullpen or wanting to stay in the starting rotation?

Any chance if Tommy wasnt healthy enough to stay in the starting rotation would he consider moving to the pen as a strong lefty mid reliver for us. ( please dont cuss me just a thought, he could be horrible in the pen).

2009 NFL Draft??

Im assuming the bengals will be in the top five 09 draft. I've looked at the early ESPN suggested draft picks and dont have a clue who would fit the bengals for the first couple of rounds. Just would like to hear some opinions on who everyone thinks cincy would go for in the early rounds. God knows Im praying for some good picks that will make an impact and show up for us.

Any info on the Murph?

Just curious on some info on my childhood favorite Dale Murphy. How is the man, Ive heard he has been involved with some politics, but not confirmed. Also, does any of his boys play proffesionally? I know there is a couple of Murphy's in the bigs, not sure if related at all. Just curiosity from a big fan...Thanks

P.S. Is there any chance he could still get in the Hall Of Fame?

To the true braves fan...

I just wanted some feedback from some true braves fans. I get on here from time to time and enjoy alot of posts and comments fans make on all the problems in braves world. I would just like to ask how many of you actually go to braves games? And does anyone agree that the mighty braves have the worse home support crowd in the majors? I know the braves have fans all over the world, trust me I know personally and I blame my father everyday. But is it just the braves attendance numbers that lie? Or is Hott Atlanta a real bad place for Baseball? (And football, basketball..cant blame you guys there). Im sure I will get some great answers, and I hope I can get some stats thrown at me.

Can the braves not cut Hampton?

I dont know enough about baseball to know the rules of cutting players from your team. But MY GOD! Im so sick as im sure every brave fan is of getting my hopes that hampton will actually be able to earn his 14mil a year paycheck. The braves have continued to stick with him the past three years with no result of him ever being reliable. CAN THEY NOT JUST CUT THE GUY? Please someone clear this up for meB
