Right now we are in a rain delay

 

[utbravesfan]

why is KJ not in the line up?

 

[HIT_MAN]

what the hell is wrong with andruw this year?

 

[utbravesfan]

contract year, seems like he is trying to hit a hr every at bat

 

[HIT_MAN]

contract year, seems like he is trying to hit a hr every at bat

seems like he'll suffer money wise with this performance this year. He needs to get up to the plate and just hit instead of swinging so hard he buckles to the ground.

 

[utbravesfan]

nice play by woodward

 

[utbravesfan]

already down by 4

 

[utbravesfan]

End of 1 Braves down 4-0

 

[utbravesfan]

Andruw with a great sliding catch

 

[utbravesfan]

End of 2, Braves down 5-0

 

[utbravesfan]

End of 5, Braves down 6-0

It's getting late, we need to score some runs

 

[utbravesfan]

Chipper scores on a single by Diaz. Braves mounting a comeback. Braves down 6-1

 

[utbravesfan]

Salty with a basesloaded walk. Braves down 6-2

 

[utbravesfan]

End of 6, Braves down 6-2

 

[utbravesfan]

Braves have the tieing run to the plate in the top of the 9th in the form of Andruw Jones. 2 outs

 

[utbravesfan]

Andruw strikes out for the 5th time today

Braves fall 6-3

 

[smoltz]

Ugh. Andruw is just awful right now.

 

[utbravesfan]

yep, struck out 5 time swinging

 

[Vercingetorix]

Andruw's terrible right now, but he goes through this at least once every year. He'll come around.

The Red Sox are the best team in baseball right now. Losing 2 out of 3 to them isn't a disaster by any means. It would have been nice if the god-cursed Yankees could have helped out by beating the Mets, though.
