Looks like Lowe wasn't such a great acquisition this year, after all......
Take revenge, Olsen, for all the Braves have done to you……

The Federer / Roddick match may go on for a while; it’s held serve hell right now. 5-5 in the 5th set.

Gameday has Bard and Belliard batting 7th and 8th.......
Hey Manny, we all liked Belli’s single, but we weren’t that serious…..

You have got to be ^%$#ing me. Manny? Come on man. Geez.
Unless he’s batting .300 against Lowe this is a bad idea.
Twice as many hits as Dunn, and has a double......
Manny smartly snaps both fingers to point at the dewlap….

Damn.
That was one heck of a match by both players. All credit to Federer for winning that, and it’s more than a bit amusing that championship point was the first time Roddick got broken all game. I wonder how much being up 6-2 in the 2nd set tiebreak will sit on Roddick from here forward.
When the match of your life is not enough just tip your cap, Roddick!

Zim fails again. He’s kind of a gift of an all-star pick. He has not played at that level for the past month and a half.
Don't bash our All-Star!! (Will be biting nails on all soft grounders to third in the late innings of the ASG...)

McCann's been struggling a little bit lately, too.
We need him to snap out of it.
But Zimmerman did have that ridiculous hitting streak earlier. I think he deserves to be there because his overall numers are still good.

One good thing about not seeing y’all (besides the fact that y’all kill us) is that we won’t have to see Meh for a while.

I was definitely not crazy about getting him, especially with pushing Willie Harris to the bench....
But, the guy is pretty amazing himself…. After scoring, he bounded like two steps from the plate to the dugout….. Great interview on MASN, as well.
I hope he’s not just a Braves killer…
