Oh, yeah.
Damn you, Braves. Drive in runs! Chipper is back. He stopped crying or raping waitresses on his ranch or whatever he does while he’s hurt, and he’s hitting again. You, rest of team, are not. Especially you, Mark Teixeira.
Ryan Howard makes two errors in the bottom of the ninth to load the bases. You come up, and what do you do? Strike out to fucking Brad Lidge. At home. In the bottom of the ninth. With the bases loaded. Somehow I suspect this to be a Scott Boras plot. Damn you both.
And you, Jeff Francoeur, are on the verge of becoming the new Andruw Jones – only without the eight years of tantalizing close-t0-greatness and the one year of absolute crushing. They won’t tag up on you on a deep fly – you can still throw like a motherfucker, but they sure as shit will love to pitch to you. With the way you’re playing, I hope that turns out to be as gay as it sounds, but in the most unsatisfying way possible, which is pretty bad, like Bretty Myers bad. Anyway, if there’s a weaker RBI in baseball, I can’t imagine what it is [Edit: it's not actually an RBI - good]:
Slumping Jeff Francoeur, who struck out in each of his first two at-bats, hit a double-play grounder off reliever Chad Durbin to drive in Teixeira.
Says Larry:
“It’s a rough time around here right now,” Jones said. “A lot of guys struggling, especially with runners on base. No one’s excluded. It’s not just one guy.”
Fucking-aye.
