9 Most Epic Collapses In MLB History
If you’re a baseball fan, then you are probably aware that the Boston Red Sox are hanging on for dear life in the American League Wild Card standings. On September 1, Boston was 8 ½ games ahead of Tampa Bay. Today, their lead over the Rays is just 1 lousy game. But Boston is not [...]

Some Fans Went A Little Wacko During The Braves vs. Pirates 19-Inning Marathon (Video)
A 19 inning baseball game has the power to put most of the fans in the stands to sleep, if they haven’t already left for their comfortable beds at home. However, those who stay awake throughout the duration of the game can often take on a somewhat delirious state of being. That was the case [...]

Approximately six hours and thirty minutes after Tommy Hanson threw out the first pitch of last night’s game between the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Atlanta Braves, both teams found themselves tied at 3-3 as they headed into the bottom of the 19th inning. By that time most of the people inside Turner Field just wanted [...]

The Stat Line Of The Night — 6/20/11 — Tim Hudson
The Atlanta Braves entered last night’s game against the Toronto Blue Jays looking to record back-to-back wins at home for the first time since May 29. Pitcher Tim Hudson did all that he could on the mound to get his team that elusive victory, but he didn’t receive much help from the rest of the [...]

The Stat Line Of The Night — 6/13/11 — Hunter Pence
Having lost eight of their last nine games heading into yesterday’s finale of their four-game series with the Atlanta Braves, the Houston Astros have been one of the coldest teams in baseball. Oddly enough, they also currently have one of the hottest hitters in baseball in their line-up. That would be right fielder Hunter Pence, [...]

Here Is Gloria Allred’s Reenactment Of Roger McDowell’s Bat-Jerking Homophobic Tirade (Video)
During a game between the Atlanta Braves and the San Francisco Giants at AT&T Park last weekend, Braves pitching coach Roger McDowell had a rather interesting confrontation with a few fans in the stands. Reports indicate that McDowell asked the group of male Giants fans if they were “a homo couple or a threesome?” Moments [...]

Female Fans Fight During Brewers Game (Video)
Why do I feel as though at some point this week I went to bed and woke up in Bizarro World? Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that in the last 48 hours I have witnessed two males kissing in the stands at a Cleveland Indians game, and several females fighting one [...]

The Stat Line Of The Night — 4/5/11 — Yovani Gallardo
With a batting order that includes the likes of Prince Fielder, Ryan Braun, Corey Hart and Rickie Weeks, the Brewers entered the 2011 season with high expectations, but have failed to live up to them through their first four games. Heading into yesterday’s meeting with the Atlanta Braves, they were looking to bounce back and [...]

Picture Of The Day: He Saved The Day, And His Beer
It was supposed to be an enjoyable day at the ballpark for these fans last Friday, but things nearly took a turn for the worse when Dan Uggla’s bat went flying into the stands during a spring training game in Kissimmee, Florida against the Toronto Blue Jays. Thankfully, the guy in the Gators t-shirt was [...]

Celebrating Bobby Cox’s Retirement With A Giant Corn Field Maze
When Atlanta Braves Manager Bobby Cox announced that this would be his final year as a bench-boss in the MLB, many of those who knew and loved the 69-year-old legend began to think of ways to honor his storied career and thank him for a job well done. First there was that embarrassing spelling mistake [...]

The Stat Line of the Night — 9/14/10 — Derek Lowe
On the morning after a Monday night, the obvious place to look for a great stat line are the football games, right? Not last night, as both games did not produce any spectacular performances (outside of the defenses, which did step up big). In baseball, however, the Atlanta Braves got a much needed win on [...]

The Stat Line of the Night – 8/22/10 – Jason Heyward
Yesterday marked the end of an era in baseb, all, as long-time manager Lou Piniella managed his last game in baseball. He had announced that he would retire after the season, but in the days leading up to Sunday’s game he decided to call it quits sooner. He was a great manager for many years, [...]

The Stat Line of the Night — 7/13/10 — Brian McCann
The National League has not won an All-Star game in 13 years. The American League has dominated the mid-summer classic since 1997 with one tie and 12 wins. This year would change all that in a pitcher’s duel for the ages. One big hit would be all that it would take to win the game, [...]

The Stat Line of the Night – 5/10/10 – Tommy Hanson
The Atlanta Braves have gotten off to a pretty slow start. The pitching has been decent, but the bats just have been unable to come alive so far. If the hitting won’t come around, then it looks like the pitchers are going to have to take the games almost entirely into their own hands. Braves [...]

Atlanta Cop Takes A Swing At A Braves Fan
What is with all these out of control cops lately? Can’t a fan get out an enjoy a few drinks at a sporting event without the fear of having a cop attack them after the game? In Atlanta, the answer to that question is “NO!” Sure, this guy may have been incredibly drunk, and probably [...]
