    I hope none of your are braves fans. I love em...but at this point we just keep regressing. We ABSOLUTELY cannot get runs home. We have to average 8 or better left on base each night. St Louis spotted us 3 tonight and we are currently tied.

    I'm a Braves fan. They didn't start off the season too bad but man, I agree, they can't score runs for anything. Time to make a move or Bobby's gonna have a sour taste in his mouth from his last season.

    I just hope Jason Heyward is as good as he appeared to be coming to the majors. I picked him up on my fantasy team lol.

    A lot of good talent in Atlanta. Heyward should be a stud eventually...BUT.........looking back to that '96 NLCS (watching the Braves come back and beat the Cards) and remembering that annoying chop thing you fans do, I can't say that I don't enjoy watching old man Chipper and the rest the Braves struggle.

    The Braves have struggled the last few weeks. It is pretty frustrating to watch them get runners on base but not being able to get them home. They've had some bright spots here and there, but just can't seem to be consistent! Hey wait a sec....this means we are actually a fan of the same team for once. :D

    I knew you had it in you, I would say the Falcons as well, but I remember you talking about the Titans last year. It is a shame the team we share leaves us nothing to talk about other than how we are struggling to get runners home. Nate and Glaus are batting .150 or so...Heyward leads us in RBI's and Homers with 4 and 19 respectively and he is falling off fast...almost below 250 I think.

    Just read where Mccann called out chipper, saying he seams to be getting hurt alot for a guy who has rededicated himself the last 2 off seasons.

    And the struggles continue....Heyward is young so I wouldn't hold anything he is going through against him yet. I think he will come around and be a beast of a player over the long haul.

    As for the Falcons, I don't dislike them (like ::cough:: Bama ::cough:::)). I pull for them unless they are playing the Titans. :D

    I'm not a Braves fan, but one thing in their favor is it doesn't look like any team wants to run away with the N.L.East right now.
    Btw, I'm going to see the Braves-Phils. on May 8th.

    I'm a Braves fan :(

    What have they lost now, 8 in a row? They are certainly playing terribly right now, but they have a deep rotation and talented bats. They'll be okay. I still think they'll win the Wild Card.

    9 in a row...at least they lost during the day when I do not force myself to stay up and watch...Hawks are losing 3 - 2 to a 6 seed.. WTH...at least Bama and the falcons kick off in 4 months.
