Braves will still find a way to lose this but fun while it lasts.

How are Braves fans not embarrassed to do the Tomahawk chop?

Is the answer "because Braves fans"?

Obviously.

Any day a team can't beat the Braves is a day with bigger problems than just umps. Like the decision to IBB Pierzynski.

Well, guess Wisler at least looks like a keeper. Everybody else can go.

Mallex Smith continues to be one of the few extra-base threats for the Braves. Also will bat 9th forever, apparently.

How do pitchers just continually not get that Francoeur will get himself out on anything off the plate? Not as if there isn't just an entire career's worth of scouting to show that.

edit: also, Snitker's boneheaded decision to pinch-hit Flowers for Pierzynski means that only Daniel Castro is left to try and knock in the tying run here. I think he's better on the bullpen than Fredi, but his lineups are just as bad and his PH decisions may be worse.

If he's in the game, but on the other team, is he still available for this game as a Giant?

Sure, why not, nothing the Braves do matters this year anyway

Teheran coming up, but I'd save him for a spot where a bunt would be useful cause he's good at it.

Somehow this reminds me of a '90s game where they went extras on a scorching afternoon in old Riverfront in Cincinnati, and the turf got so hot it was melting people's shoes and players were collapsing from cramp and possible sunstroke. They had to send Glavine out to the outfield for an inning or two because they literally didn't have any other players on their feet to man the spot.

Better outfielder than Adonis Garcia, for sure.

With the way the Giants have been swinging this entire series, they must really hate being in that Altanta heat.

The Braves actually pitch decently well until you get to the lower-down guys in the pen. I'd worry more about giving up runs and extra-base hits, since they're by a significant distance the worst hitting team of the past few seasons.
