2006 Braves Season

[Francoeurstein]

Hello Braves fans of BBF. This stickied thread will be about the Bravo's 2006 season. Along with stastics homeruns, hits, strikeouts etc. We will talk about who's in a big slump or who's hot. But this is for braves fans and braves fans only. Without further ado here it is!!!

[Francoeurstein]

Braves game today!!!

As the Braves are competing for their 15th consecutive division title, they will play the LA Dodgers. The dodgers had a very underrated offseason, nabbing our beloved shortstop Rafeal Furcal. The matchup will be Tim Hudson will be facing Derek Lowe at 4:10 eastern time. All we can give them is are hope and good luck!!! LETS GO BRAVES!!!!

[Francoeurstein]

It's now the top of the fourth and the braves are doing fine!! LaRoche had a 3 run homer in the first to make it 4-0 it's now 4-1 and Tim Hudson is doing great.

[Atlanta Braves Freak]

ABF's midgame report: Braves are leading 4-1 with one outthe Bottom of the 4th. The Braves got 4 runs in the 1st inning (what a way to start the season!). Tim Hudson has been shaky, but he hasn't given up the lead. Lets go Braves!

[Francoeurstein]

Congrats Edgar on getting your braves debut hit!!! Maybe we should hope for a debut homerun . And congrats Chipper for an rbi score is now 5-1. Continue the rally brav
.os!!!!

It's gone! That's the Andruw I remember from last year!

[Atlanta Braves Freak]

Braves now lead 8-1 thanks to Andruw's 3 run bomb, I'm liking the look of the season so far!!!!

[Francoeurstein]

ANDRUW!!!! congrats on your first homer and way to knock in 3 runs to start a blowout!!! ( When will they take out Lowe ? ).

Shaky, I think not. He has only give up 2 hits up until now. But now I think he is starting to get shaky.

[Francoeurstein]

AAHHHHHH!!!!!!! They're coming back!!!! Well if they keep this score they could probably use Reitsma, you gotta hold 'em Cormier!!!

[jwkfs]

Phew, that was a nail biter. I sure hope the 'pen holds up better in the future...

[Francoeurstein]

Reitsma almost blew it. I'd say if he blows 3+ in a month Bobby oughta take his butt out.

[Atlanta Braves Freak]

Braves, 11 Dodgers, 10

Nail BITER!! The Braves had a comfortable 8-1 lead in the 5th, but they couldn't hold it. Not surprisingly the bullpen had trouble holding the lead. I guess we have to get used to this as the season progresses. But, a win is a win, the Braves are 1-0!

[Atlanta Braves Freak]

One more inviting note was the production of the 2-3-4-5 hitters, Edgar Renteria, Chipper Jones, Andruw Jones, and Adam Laroche combined for 10 RBI and had 6 of the Braves 12 hits. It seems like these guys are going to be our production crew this year and we can't forget about Jeff Francouer, even though he went 0 for 5 today.

[Go Bravos!!!#1]

You said it ABF a nail biter it was indeed.
