Comments on: Cox Out, Morton On The Mound http://www.bravesblast.com/2008/07/22/cox-out-morton-on-the-mound/ Analysis of our favorite Atlanta Braves.

Time and time again, when you think the Braves might have something from which to build momentum, they revert back to the same maddeningly frustrating team that's drove us crazy all season. I'm stating the obvious, but they've got to win the final four games on the road trip, and I don't think there's a snowball's chance in you-know-where of that happening.

If they send Morton down, they might want to keep him in Atlanta just in case Hampton needs to go on the DL mid-game.

He might not think its funny. If I do get punched I will sue his ass off and recoup some of the money he owes the franchise. Season tickets are on me if the plan works. Well I might as well try it.

Even a double play with no one out may have gotten one in, and two hitters couldn't make contact and the third pops up? Just ridiculous, the Braves make mediocre pitchers look so good.

Defensively, the guy was a stud and played superb, but just couldn't keep up offensively.
