Conrad and Cox. Bobby must be in a hurry to retire. Kimbrel has been absolutely filthy all season and Huff isn't someone you LOOGY for. Of course if Wagner's available then we probably avoid this all together. At this point I'm not worried about losing the series because the Phillies are just going to sweep the winner. If it's the Braves they might record 2 or 3 no hitters.

I got to put Heyward in the **** list too. His season has been a series of burning hot or freezing cold streaks. He's frozen at the moment.

Cox is still much better than melonhead Bochy.

Neither team can hit, so I have no doubt that the winner will get the sh*t kicked out of them by the Phillies. But I still would much rather lose in the NLCS than NLDS, so gooo Giants!

I find that hard to believe. He'd walk me in a RBI spot if I was batting in front of a lefty. Sandoval is one of the last players you intentionally walk. I'm sure he has swung at a balk before. Lowe struck him out on a 3 balls in his previous AB and could have done the same again with next to no chance of giving up a hit. That led to the only run of the game.

Then last night taking Kimbrel out in favor of a lefty/lefty matchup when Huff has a higher average against LHP and Kimbrel just blew him away the game before. It's a shame only the 2nd earned run of Kimbrel's season comes with him on the bench. It was also a dumb decision leaving our middle infield defensive specialist on the bench because Bobby was scared of running out of position players with a lead in the 9th. Even though he had no problem using all of our decent pitchers.

It's no surprise we won game 2 with Bobby in the clubhouse. Here's to hoping for an early ejection today.

Cox has been awful this series. As bad as Bochy? I don't know about that. But he's definitely been bad.

At least you guys can take comfort in knowing he won't be back next year. We have a GM who thinks Bochy is the best manager on the baseball planet.

Here is a shocker Conrad got benched. Troy Glaus will be starting at third for the first time this season with Infante taking over at second. Seems like a move that had to be made and allows the Braves to get another power potential bat into the lineup.

I love that we're injured to the point where we we're having to play Glaus at 3rd for defensive improvement. I expect at least 15 bunts.

Conrad's gaffes bring back memories when steady 2B Mike Andrews made two errors in the 12th inning against the Mets in the 1973 World Series.

Owner Charlie Finley made Andrews sign a false affidavit saying he was injured....and Finley replaced him on the roster. Manager Dick Williams, teammates, and the media were incensed by Finley's crass move, and Commissioner Bowie Kuhn reinstated Andrews by game 4. Andrews made a brief appearance in game 4, but never played in the MLB again.

THose were the days.....LOL

I wouldn't be surprised if the Giants get swept, but at least they are 4 wins away from the WORLD SERIES. I couldn't ask for more than that from this club.

LOL at Melky at the plate with the season on the line. That was every Braves fan's worst nightmare. Oh well, the Braves just didn't have the horses left to make any noise this year. Prado was the catalyst all year and the offense was beyond pathetic without him. I wish the umpires made a couple better calls, but the Giants are the better team at this point in the season. Congrats and I'll definitely be rooting for the miracle in the NLCS.

Enjoy retirement, Bobby!
