That could be the end of Chipper's 13-game hitting streak and 19-game on-base streak.

[vnodnarb]

[GrandMasterB]

[Chief Knockahoma]

[JCStone7]

It's time for the Golden Boy!

At least he's gotten on-base today

[Chief Knockahoma]

good inning boys.

[GrandMasterB]

Way to be patient and wait for a good pitch to hit. :clap:

[Nasadega]

Teix for Nick Johnson straight up.

[PhantomsCV]

[boof1027]

Kinda looks to me like it would say something like, "Hey, hey, hey!"

Wow! what a night to be shut out! Will be pissed if Smoltz gets the loss.

[BravesfaninNC]

Damn it Jeff. PATIENCE!!!!

[PhantomsCV]

And Pena or Goty or GEB and then kelly and esco:)

Geb...

[vnodnarb]

Chris Paul with 34 points and 17 assists.

[BravesfaninNC]

Great start

[Wren Mafia]

Sit down Austin

[Chief Knockahoma]

i always strike out Austin Kearns in MVP Baseball...apparently he likes to K in real life as well.

[PhantomsCV]

Chris Paul with 34 points and 17 assists.

He's having an off night.

OMFG Campillo, that was NASTY!!!

[lavell12]

guy with better era than smoltz in to pitch, strikes out batter number 1.

[Chief Knockahoma]

i can't believe...that if we lose it's because of stupid Willie Harris.

[PhantomsCV]

Where did Campillo come from besides the Mexican League???

[JCStone7]

Where did Campillo come from besides the Mexican League???

The Mariners' farm

[PhantomsCV]

i can't believe...that if we lose it's because of stupid Willie Harris.

and Lastings Milledge scoring the run!!!!

BOOO.

[boof1027]

i can't believe...that if we lose it's because of stupid Willie Harris.

It Willie effin Harris from this day forward:mad:

[JCStone7]

It Willie effin Harris from this day forward:mad:

Actually since July of 2007

[Chief Knockahoma]

hey Campillo...go back to getting people out, you were more popular then.

[BravesfaninNC]

please get the DP

[vnodnarb]

This would be a very tough loss to swallow.

[boof1027]

Actually since July of 2007


Good Point :thumbsup:

Willie Effin Harris walks....

Let's go Campillo get us out of this!

[GrandMasterB]

I blame Jesse Jackson. He put a curse on us that allows Willie to play better against us than everyone else when we let him go.

[PhantomsCV]

*#)%*#*)%#^#%()#^&*) CAMPILLO!!!!!

[Chief Knockahoma]

good job with the defense.

[731BravesFan]

wow..

[JCStone7]

:clap: fundamentals

[BravesfaninNC]

:mad::mad::mad::mad:

[jones2510]

:bricks:

[LOL_Braves]

NUCKING FUTS!!!!!!!!

[GrandMasterB]

Way to blow a sure out at second and probably a double play, Campillo.

[Chief Knockahoma]

i blame McCarroll for this loss since he hasn't been seen in like half an hour.

[josephw000]

Common you guys jesus effin christ.

[PhantomsCV]

Now it isn't a one run loss

[Nasadega]

Are you kidding me? How can the Nats suck so much and get such breaks?

[uofafan]

Got the double play ball and crap.

[BravesfaninNC]

i blame McCarroll for this loss since he hasn't been seen in like half an hour.Chief he is still here

[Chief Knockahoma]

and now Campillo has lost it.

[PhantomsCV]

Campillo needs to chillo outo!

[dogmanx23]

DAMMIT!

[BravesfaninNC]

booooo

[Leaf]

Now it isn't a one run loss

It'll suck just as bad as one, though. Especially if we get a homer or something in the v9. :(

[lavell12]

in 1-0 games you can't give up extra runs late, it kills the chances of a comeback.

[Chief Knockahoma]

Chief he is still here

he hasn't posted since 9:02p

[josephw000]

Campillo showing why hes a minor leaguer at heart right now, come through buddy

[BravesfaninNC]

And what even worst is that he had time to make a good throw to esco to start the DP

[lavell12]

terrible performance

[Chief Knockahoma]

just hit the damn strike zone.

[JCStone7]

Um McCann go out there please

[boof1027]

Damn it....\
This is McCarrolls fault ....

[BravesfaninNC]

Jeff you should have catch this one

[JCStone7]

And the wheels fall off

[GrandMasterB]

Ugh. If only he could have made a decent throw to second, it would still be a 1-0 game.

[josephw000]

Well im gonna go mak dinner

[Leaf]

That hurts. :bricks:

[PhantomsCV]

http://hellovegetables.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/a-boy-named-charlie-brown.jpg

Good Grief.

[lavell12]

send him back to the mexican league

[Chief Knockahoma]

Ugh. If only he could have made a decent throw to second, it would still be a 1-0 game.

yup.

of course we can win the day that the Cubs destroy the Mutts and the Fish are currently losing to the lowly Pirates.

[uofafan]

Cox you done waited to late to waddle out to the mound.

[LOL_Braves]

Well, this does not look good at all. We just love giving the Nats games.

[lavell12]

Hey Campillo you Suck

[BravesfaninNC]

Well we can still win this game.But we must get the DP.It would be so bad if Smoltz get the L

[Chief Knockahoma]

send him back to the mexican league

he's been fine up until now.

[MPH]

Damn it....\
This is McCarrolls fault ....
Well if Chief was at the damn game none of this would have happened, so I blame him too! :mad:

[boof1027]

Don't we account for most of their wins? or am I thinking of the Pirates?

[JCStone7]

I blame the astronomy debate that went on... the God of Stars is mad now

[lavell12]

yes he had been fine to now but this proves he ain't no mlb player, mentally falling apart.

[Chief Knockahoma]

Well if Chief was at the damn game none of this would have happened, so I blame him too! :mad:

hey hey hey.

let's stop playing the blame game you guys.

[GrandMasterB]

Well if Chief was at the damn game none of this would have happened, so I blame him too! :mad:

Three-day ban for both of them!

:D

[lavell12]

great Resop in

[Vulture]

No sticks and no bullpen against the worst team in MLB.

[Nasadega]

Bleh this sucks.
Gotta go to bed, I need some sleep and this isn't very entertaining. Hopefully tomorrow I wake up to a Braves comeback win!

[boof1027]

Well if Chief was at the damn game none of this would have happened, so I blame him too! :mad:

Let's Ban em for a couple days.... or better yet give them gay avatars and siggys. ..... lol
j/k

please no bannination :o

[GrandMasterB]

yes he had been fine to now but this proves he ain't no mlb player, mentally falling apart.

Every player has a bad game. Most of the lineup has an 0-3 or 0-4 tonight. Does that mean they're not major league-caliber ballplayers?

[lavell12]

mccann diaz kotsay reach for a pintch hit pena grand slam

[lavell12]

i'm just venting.

[BravesfaninNC]

It one thing to lose but i can't believe that we are the one loseing 6-0

[Chief Knockahoma]

hmmm....i think i might go get some food now...

[lavell12]

nice job bullpen bum number 2 have a guy down 1-2 and you throw 98 and don't get the K.

[boof1027]

Good lord..... we gave this game away!!!!!
Can't win them all, just wish we could this for Smoltz

[Leaf]

Good 'ol bullpen. :nod:

Time to hit the sack or maybe catch a few minutes of the hockey games.

Better luck tomorrow, start a new streak or continue this one? (anything's possible) :p

[lavell12]

Bullpen Sucks again. Nice Job Clowns.

Cut Resop he has always sucked.

[GrandMasterB]

Hey! Look, guys -- more runs that shouldn't have scored. http://www.smileyhut.com/excited/groupwave2.gif

[Corvette]

I wish we could hit average left-handed pitchers.

[Leaf]

Hey, an out! What are those again? :rolleyes:

[JCStone7]

http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb145/jcstone07/Randoms/baseball-bats.jpg

Anyone?

[BravesfaninNC]

Well it ok we are just down by one TD :rolleyes:so we can still come back

[orlandobrave]

Resop is my least favorite RP. This guy throws hard but sucks. Hope we get Gonzalez and/or Moylan back soon.

[GrandMasterB]

Well it ok we are just down by one TD :rolleyes:so we can still come back

Funny thing is, the Braves would be more likely to get that TD than the Falcons.

I've already said what I think of those two pictures. (http://www.braves-nation.com/forums/showthread.php?p=194242#post194242) :)

As I prmptly kill the thread.

[LOL_Braves]

The Nats have 6 wins so far.

3 of those have come against us. WTF.

[PhantomsCV]

The way this year has gone, we've also given them 3 losses. It's 3-3 against the Nats.

[McCarroll21]

Lots of things to be upset about tonight. Hopefully we can bounce back tomorrow and start another stretch of wins. A six game win streak would have been nice, but going on a stretch where we win 15 of 18 or something like that would be a good way to end April.

[PhantomsCV]

w00t!!!! It wasn't a one run loss!

[mrbecker712]

our offense is incredibly inconsistent at times. Our bullpen let us down in the 9th, but obviously it didn't matter anyway. Shame that Smoltz didn't get a W tonight, but it shouldn't detract from what he's done. Amazing stats.

[shropshire77]

sux to lose on Smoltz's night.... but cant win em all i guess

[lavell12]

i'll take a five game winning streak followed by one loss for every six games left the whole season.
