SWEEEEEEEEP!!!!!!

That's 5 in a row, and a sweep of the hated Mets.

Complete game, 1 hit shutout for Teheran today.

 

[tabascojet]

Even better in person today....Julio Pitched a gem. Kept them.quiet until they turned on their.own team.

Mallex Smith out indefinitely with a broken thumb. Hopefully it doesn't require surgery and we can get him back before the end of the season.

Damn, that sucks.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Damn, that sucks.

Yep. He was quickly becoming y favorite position player on the team.

I wonder if the Braves will trade Teheran next month...? They need some MLB ready hitters (they need to put a much better team on the field to open the new stadium next year). I don't think there are many free agent hitters that would want to come to Atlanta next winter. I am assuming Markakis will be traded also. I think the Braves need a big corner OF bat to go with Smith and Enciarte.

Teheran's trade value should be pretty high.

Indeed. Other than his inability to hit lefties, I have been pleased with his game lately.

Yep, needs to work on his bat against legties, but he was great against righties, was getting in a groove stealing bases, money with RISP and could cover the entire outfield by himself.

Dammit. I knew that shit didn't look good yesterday, was hoping it was just bruised or something.

Yep. I didn't see it live, but saw the replay and he was out of the game when I got home yesterday. No such luck.

And Fernandez drives in a run.

That's why you don't walk the leadoff man. Ever.

At least he forgot how many outs there were and was doubled off on a pop out.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Down 2-0.

If it's not too much to ask, from now on can we try to work the rotation to ensure that we don't pair Bud Norris with the opposing team's ace?

 

[Mondo Jay]

Norris has been pretty good since getting back in the rotation.

We need some fucking runs!

Yeah, he's been greatly improved. My last comment was made out of emotion when the Marlins scored their second run.

He's not the reason we're losing tonight though.

Peterson with a game tying 2 run HR in the 8th!

 

[Chewbaccer]

TIE GAME!!!

Thank God Fernandez is on a strict innings limit.

Did you notice him kinda shaking his shoulder after the strikeout to end his last inning or was it just me? Could be nothing but I swear he looked uncomfortable imo.
