Written by Colin on June 23, 2008 – 7:31 pm

The Braves take on the Brewers of Milwaukee tonight with Jo-Jo Reyes on the mound. Jo-Jo is 1-2 with a 2.80 ERA over his past five starts. Join us for a little bit of discussion as we tune in to see if Jo-Jo can continue to show that patience with him is paying off. None of us could make it out to the ballpark tonight – laundry and business trips take priority – but we’ll be watching and commenting as we can.

Join in the discussion – Escobar is back in the lineup but Infante is still filling in for Chipper. Go Bravos!

Howdy, Smitty. How’s things?

Doing well, bro. Much better than Francoeur.

Are you planning on doing the write-up tonight? Or would you like me to?

Braun steals second.

Hart grounds up the middle to Escobar – great range and good throw by Yunel to get him at first. 2 out. Braun to third.

Cameron strikes out. Three down.

Glad to hear you’re doing well. If you want to do the writeup, go for it. I can do it if I have to but I’m a bit crunched for time this evening.

B. Jones strikes out.
Buddy grounds out to first.
Blanco grounds out to second. That was fast.
By Smitty on Jun 23, 2008 | Reply

I got it covered, baby.

(lately I’ve been talking like a 70’s TV cop–you turkey.)

Hall flies out to right.
Kendall grounds out to Infante.
Sheets flies out to second.

Escobar, Johnson, and Tex due up. Time to put some runs on the board.
By Colin on Jun 23, 2008 | Reply

Smitty, you’re crazy. I don’t even know what a 70’s TV cop-you turkey sounds like.

Walked away for a bit there – we’re still struggling to do anything against Sheets. To the 8th.
By Colin on Jun 23, 2008 | Reply

Down to the bottom of the 9th. This hasn’t been pretty.

- guest_5846 : guest_4030 your retarted
- guest_4030 : we are below 500 because all the games are not on TBS
- guest_4030 : the reason the Braves are below 500 is because they don't broadcast all the games on
- Rue : hey kent good job man!
- guest_6748 : 2 words ADAM DUNN
- guest_5501 : r u kiddin we suck
- guest_9193 : See if we can beat red sox tonight
- Ben : He was supposed to be a baseball god he cant even hit the ball out of the infield
- Ben : they need to trade (suckfest) Jeff francoeur
- guest_9113 : I agree; it is way past time for Bobby Cox to be released. How many years do the Braves fans have to wait for a winning team ? Why do they trade or sign good free-agents, only to let them go; and the teams they perform great for their new teams. New franchise teams seem to be able to re-build after terrible seasons, why can't the Braves ?
- guest_7732 : cox needs to go
- guest_6049 : they should have kept Tex and sent off glavine and hampton to allow some cap room
- guest_6049 : kent who else are they going to give up besides prospects who we seem to ship off every chance we get. Its not like they want to give up anyone else. we need to keep prospects. It seems like the Texas Rangers are full of great talent because of the Tex trade why would they want to give up their whole farm system?
- guest_3601 : It would be nice to see the Braves move Frenchy. I heard he may go to the Marlins
- Kent : guest_6049, I disagree that they're only willing to give up Frenchy. They've still got trading chips, and they'll use them (responsibly).
- Kent : That said... it's unusual to see a June impact deal (such as McLouth). Whatever the Braves get, it probably won't be until July.
- Kent : I'm certain Wren is working the phones. And I think another deal will be made for one more bat.
- guest_6049 : the only thing they are willing to give up is frenchy and no one wants that pos
- guest_6049 : the braves are to cheap to get anyone worth a crap
- guest_1000 : any rumors who the braves are looking at as far as a big bat
- guest_5894 : Eff the Braves. They are a joke now. What a sham of an organization. This thing needs to be blown up and stared over. If we are going to suck then lets suck with the young and inexpensive. The current roster is not going to win.
- guest_3846 : We are getting our butts kicked again. I am calling it now. The season is over. Let's try to get what we can for Lowe and Vazquez. Not sure what to do with Kawakami but it looks like a nunmber 4 or 5 starter to me and that is an expensive 4 or 5.
- guest_6118 : hey retards r u there
- guest_5744 : is any one there
- guest_6118 : and why did the braves even express intrest in brad penny we need a big bat not pitching
- guest_6118 : francoeur sucks
- Michael Ramm : Colin: agree, I don't know why we wasted time with Glavine anyway. The departure was harsh, but needed.
- TR : Francouer and Johnson... the new Shaffer!
- guest_8601 : Hope you will include our Nats Blog on your links: www.centerfieldgate.com
- Colin : I'm not sorry to see Glavine go. I was worried we were spending a lot of money on him for a very marginal return.
- Jonathan : So Glavine's hitting the road. Can't say I saw that one coming, but I can't really blame the Braves.
- Theo : I'm tired of watching a team, owned by an out-of-town partnership... Giving us a .500 team...what gives with that?
- guest_1666 : lose shaeffer... Fast!!!
- guest_1666 : please get an outfield that can hit!!!
- Jonathan : Nice that I finally get to watch a Braves game. Vacation took away my ability to do that for a week.
