Red Sox just released a bunch of SF tix (including pairs and fours) for all three games. Phone orders only........

BravesMG · 06-08-07, 11:12 AM

I was really hoping that the Cubs would help heal the Braves recent slump, but that didn't work out so well yesterday. I guess the only good news is that the Mets are in a bit of a funk themselves, but Philly and Florida are charging a bit lately.

matta · 06-08-07, 11:22 AM

Please, let the Braves stop losing.... this is starting to look like June 2006.

If somebody on the Sox staff doesn't plunk Bonds, I'll be very unhappy.

B.A. · 06-08-07, 12:44 PM

Thank God I have free beer to drink tonight since Wells is pitching.

sundog · 06-08-07, 12:48 PM

White Sox need some damned wins!

I hope the Astros are bad enough to oblige since the pale hose can barely put together 4.5 innings of good baseball.

The bullpen has already elevated (or lowered) itself to "fun-bad".

But it's easy to laugh when I can turn the game off...

Pitcher Carlos Zambrano said he and batterymate Michael Barrett shared some tears when the two Chicago Cubs teammates reconciled after their dugout fight last week.

"He came to me the next day, and he apologized and I apologized to him and we cried," a teary-eyed Zambrano said after he beat the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday. "I still love him."

Zambrano finally spoke to reporters Wednesday about the two men making peace, after refusing to comment about the reconciliation for days.

Barrett and Cubs manager Lou Piniella had earlier spoken about the situation. Zambrano did, however, publicly take the blame for the fracas last Saturday.

It all came to a head last Friday in the top of the fifth inning against Atlanta. The Braves had just scored five runs to increase their lead to 7-1; during the inning, Barrett allowed a passed ball and threw wildly to third for an error.

Zambrano was seen pointing at his head and yelling at the catcher in the dugout before the bottom half, while Barrett pointed toward the field. There was shoving and some slaps.

Zambrano cocked his right fist as the two were being separated. Piniella said Zambrano was upset about the passed ball, and the manager along with several players walked the pitcher back to the clubhouse. Piniella told Zambrano to take a shower and go home, then returned to the dugout.

Moments later, a clubhouse attendant could be seen telling Piniella something. Derrek Lee jumped up and headed into the tunnel, and Piniella and pitching coach Larry Rothschild followed. Barrett wound up in a hospital for a split lip afterward and both players were fined by the Cubs for their actions.

Now, all is forgiven -- and when Zambrano's next turn in the rotation comes up Monday against Houston, Barrett will be his catcher.

"And I don't have a problem with that," Zambrano told reporters. "I told you I didn't want to talk about that, but I'm still a friend of Michael Barrett. He still calls me 'brother,' and I still call him 'brother.' We forget and forgive each other, and we're back on track. ... We've moved on, and we're here for this team."

Barrett concurred.

"It was over the moment it happened for me. There were no hard feelings," Barrett told reporters. "I totally understand how things like that can happen. And like I said, I love him enough to move forward."

Soriano is 3-3 so far with 3 solo shots.

At least you can't blame Hendry for signing this guy.

Deftones · 06-08-07, 07:57 PM

I'm pissed that I'm not going to be in town for the Dbacks/Red Sox series.

However, tomorrow I leave for my 2nd annual baseball trip with my buddy in our quest to hit every MLB park.

We are going to be hitting up Cincinnati, Chicago (both teams), Detroit, Cleveland and Pittsburgh. 6 games in 8 days. I'm stoked.

Not really 4/5 cities are boring. I mean really boring. Unless you like RnR and go to the HOF in Clev then 3/5. (but we know we make our own fun),

But, being all serious - have fun at the baseball games - I do the same thing

Keep safe/

Just came back from Atlanta 2 weeks ago - NO character at all. The bar across the street from the park was empty, I could hear birds chirp around the park and the stadium was 3/4 full. Zzzzz.

I could give a shit about the cities. I'm there for baseball.

As long as there a bar nearby and place to eat, I'm happy.

Dear Atlanta Braves,

Please stop sucking. Thank you.

well time to join KS, Tampa and Washington as loveable losers (i'm really hoping home attendance drops below 10K this season, lovely day when that happens)

And another thing, Arthur Blank got rid of "Everyone's Best Friend" Jim Mora I wish John Schuerholz would do the same with "I Love Ya No Matter How You're Playing" Bobby Cox, but with this guy you probably can actually call him "Everyone's Best Friend" John Schuerholz as well.

I love the Lou Piniella's of Baseball, give you encouragement when you're winning and all over you 24 hours when you're playing bad and is not afraid to do it in from of the media as well

Big Dave · 06-08-07, 09:29 PM

Dear Atlanta Braves,

Please continue sucking for 2 more games. Thank you.

Your Pal,

Big Dave

Great way to pull out a victory Evil Empire.

Jeets knocked the crap out of that one in the 10th.

JD Drew with 2 HRs tonight. Maybe if he keeps this up, a NL team will want to trade for him.

Timlin up; JC Romero DFA'd, tho Tito said there is something in the works to trade Romero but they just couldn't dot the i's and cross the t's in time before activating Timlin.

SpaceBoy · 06-09-07, 09:53 AM

Beckett 9-0 not to shabby, although some of his games have been pretty bad. He def can be dominating against the NL, and that's what they'll need in the World Series

I guess maybe Drew can be too. ha
