Atlanta Braves Thread XI (Gary Sheffield edition)

[bleedorange0037]

I can't imagine a scenario where we aren't in the tourney but I'm afraid we might slide back into the whole play in game on Tuesday night BS.

The play in games are so stupid. I guess for legit bubble teams they make sense, but the mid-major teams who won their way into the field deserve an actual shot, not getting stuck in Dayton on a Tuesday night.

Are there any reputable people leaning towards us being left out? After the past couple weeks, plus a win in the SEC tourney, I thought us being in the field was pretty much a foregone conclusion.

Palm but he's the only one.

Pearl to Auburn- 7 years, 3mil a yr is the rumor out there

That'd be weird.

The length of the contract and 3 million a year are nuts. If that's true, there had better be some strong buyout language.

Doumit left the game today injured after taking a foul ball to the hand. If he's out for an extended period of time I would guess that Terdoslavich would take his spot on the opening day roster.

The lead investigator against Pearl at that time is now a high ranking member of Auburn's administration. Talk about having some splaining to do if they sign off on Pearl.

Lololololololololololol

Auburn has the least amount of talent in the SEC.........and they want to hire a guy that can't recruit this summer?

They aren't that dumb.

 

[zjcvols]

FWIW, Lunardi now has UT in as a lock for the tourney.

Was thinking the same thing.

Freddie Freeman also left the game with a left thumb contusion.

Doumits injury was a right middle finger contusion.

Freddie says he is fine.

Doumit is getting an MRI

St Joes was in anyway, yes? They didn't take a bubble spot?

Yes I believe that is correct

 

[GreatWhiteNorth]

Lunardi had them in.

 

[Vercingetorix]

Verc, buddy I'm not stowing it away in the deep freezer like the common red. Talking 2 to 3 cubes here. A nice slight chill. Not get me wrong I drink plenty of the room temp whiskey, but there is more than one way to skin a cat.

I was needlessly a dick about it. My apologies. Whiskey got the best of me last night.

 

[GreatWhiteNorth]

Suck it Kentucky

 

[GreatWhiteNorth]

You too, Michigan

A ****ing play in game for Tennessee

Welp.

LOL. Oh well, if we wanted an actual spot in the tourney we shouldn't have piled up terrible losses to the likes of Vandy and aTm twice. Still a lot better than the NIT for the third straight year.

Iowa is a baaaaadddddd matchup for Tennessee.

This is a bad scenario for Tennessee.

The only good news? UMass and Duke are good matchups potentially for Tennessee.
