Posted May 10, 200520 yr Batters couldn't figure out Clemens tonight, & 'Stros got an RBI on a bloop hit that's normally an out. AJ pitched pretty well. Tough to get too upset over this one. Still we've got Moehler vs Backe tomorrow and then DTrain vs Oswalt on Wed. A split would give 'em a 3-3 homestand, but facing two teams that are basically in last place I'm hoping for 4-2. Any early word on how bad Castillo's injury was?
May 10, 200520 yr Any early word on how bad Castillo's injury was? 768363[/snapback] I heard day to day.
May 10, 200520 yr Very tough loss. AJ pitched a great game. The bullpen pitched great also. And we failed on beating up on a team that has been getting beat up. We should have won, but we didn't. Those always hurt.
May 10, 200520 yr Author meanwhile the Braves have run off 5 straight. They continue to prove people wrong. WTF is going on when you can win with that offense?
May 10, 200520 yr watch we win tommorow and the next day the astros had to use clemons and basically hes the only pitcher that is "dominante" on that pitching staff.
May 10, 200520 yr meanwhile the Braves have run off 5 straight. They continue to prove people wrong. WTF is going on when you can win with that offense? 768383[/snapback] I've been thinking lately....I think I'd be just as happy to win the division this year as I would be to win the World Series.
May 10, 200520 yr The good news is there's still a chance for 2 out of 3. The boys are bound to do better off of Backe and I think Moehler's the Marlins ace in the hole.

Those always hurt. 768380[/snapback] why should have we won? the only inning we had a legit shot in scoring was in the 8th, right after Rocket and right before Lidge
May 10, 200520 yr We are going to go on a win streak starting tomorrow... Book It 768425[/snapback] what is wrong with you recently? you should know better by now. :thumbdown
May 10, 200520 yr We are going to go on a win streak starting tomorrow... Book It 768425[/snapback] Your constant jinxing with the posting of this gay ass emoticon PhishPhan made famous on this board is really getting me annoyed. :plain
May 10, 200520 yr We won't go on a winning streak with Leiter pitching like he is. He's a momentum killer. And since the Braves decided they're never going to lose again, we can't afford the luxury of giving away every fifth game.
May 10, 200520 yr I wouldn't consider any loss to a future first ballot hall of famer a tough loss. 768460[/snapback] Take it one step further...greatest living pitcher.
May 10, 200520 yr We are going to go on a win streak starting tomorrow... Book It Seriously. Stop. Please.

That's news to me :mischief2. 768504[/snapback] just wondering... why is Nolan better? 768510[/snapback] With a blazing fastball that approached 100 miles per hour and a work ethic like none other, Nolan Ryan dominated hitters for an unparalleled 27 seasons on his way to 5,714 strikeouts, an all-time record. During four decades of prominence, he totaled 324 victories and a host of major league records. Most notable of his milestones are a mystifying seven no-hitters and 12 one-hitters. The eight-time All-Star fanned a single-season record 383 batters in 1973, and his career strikeouts encompassed 1,176 different players. from http://www.baseballhalloffame.org/hofers_a.../ryan_nolan.htm

May 10, 200520 yr Tonights game wasnt a tough loss IMO. The Marlins lost to Clemens, it was a tough loss in that Castillo strained his hammy again but Easley taking ABs isnt bad and his fielding is very good, this was the game to lose in the series, now they have to take advantage of the next two games. Oswalt hasnt been himself this year. Plus he going against D-Train and we need DTrain to pitch the way he has pitched all year.
May 10, 200520 yr So I hope everyone knows by now the Braves lost tonight to the Rockies. Just Checking

(not that wins and losses are a great number judging a pitcher)
