Out of Your Mind Dumb

The Atlanta Braves are completely out of their mind for not trading Mark Teixeira yet, because we all know the team is not going to be able to afford his outrageous price come end of season. We also are pretty sure, as much as it pains us, that the Braves won’t contend for a playoff [...]

Braves Bullpen Authors One for the Books

Last night, the Atlanta Braves found themselves embroiled in a game they have been losing with freakish consistency–an extra inning, one run nail biter that featured several grotesque bunts, bases loaded debacles, and perhaps scariest of all, Corky Miller. But they won. With the bases loaded and nobody out, Mark Texeira hit a ball into [...]

Francoeur Sent to Double A Ball After Phillies Sweep

I figured Jeff Francoeur was heading to the minors after failing to bring home any runners with numerous chances against the Philadelphia Phillies, in what was a very important series before the All Star Break. We Atlanta Braves fans remember the spiraling descent of an All-Star and great player all too well because it only [...]

Crystal Ball

On March 28th, BravesNuWorld jokingly prophesized about a coming together of several worse case scenarios for the Atlanta Braves, a perfect storm of unfortunate events, a doomsday of hyperbole that couldn’t possibly come to fruition all in a single season. It was meant to be a joke. Here’s what we said, in a nutshell: “Smoltz’s [...]

What Chipper Said…

Back in February, Atlanta Braves beat writer David O’Brien got a little surprise when he discovered that Chipper Jones was commenting on his blog. The original post from Chipper, which I will paste here, is quite interesting because he tried to foretell the future. With a crystal ball in front of him, Chipper wrote: By [...]

Was Last Night A Dream?

Wait a second, the Atlanta Braves were at home last night. Ohh, it all makes sense now. Anyway, the Braves pulled through with a one-run win against the surprising Oakland Athletics in a sudden death ball game that had its moment of leaving me on the edge of my ugly couch. Former A’s Mark Kotsay [...]

Who Wants To Throw Some Bombs At Frenchy?

Jeff Francoeur has a blog here. This is a brazen move for a Braves player right now. I found out about Frenchy’s blog from this cutesy pie. Boy Frenchy, you’ve really got it right with the headline to your most recent post. You guys really do need to start winning on the road. This isn’t [...]

Francoeur erupts in DC

John Smoltz, suffering from a cold and four hours of sleep, didn’t know how his day on the mound would go after counting sheep all night. Thanks to his right fielder, he can rest easier tonight, counting runs. Jeff Francoeur had a stellar day at the plate, blasting two home runs for seven seven RBI’s, [...]

Braves Lose Another 1-run Game

Can you believe the Atlanta Braves lost another 1-run game tonight? The Colorado Rockies, after losing five straight games, are now on a two-game win streak after defeating the Braves 4-3 tonight. Jair Jurrjens was less successful in his second start, giving up four earned runs and nine hits over seven innings. But this loss [...]

Braves vs. Nationals Live Blogging Updates By Inning

First Inning Kelly Johnson hitting first is a bit odd in my opinion. I would think Yunel Escobar would have been a better lead-off hitter. Johnson is quickly in an 0-2 hole and the third pitch, a fastball from Odalis Perez, looked like a strike to me. A slider makes it 2-2. And on the [...]
