    6-3 Braves off a 3-run shot by Larry "Chipper" Jones. You don't have to be an Astros fan to know you don't bring freaking Mike Jackson in the game, in a tough situation, in a critical game against a playoff tested ball club. What an idiot!

    It was a first pitch homer. Billy needs to get his pitches down.

    Pimp, that wasn't fair to Wagner. You don't bring Wagner in to mop up antoher mans mistakes. There was no reason for Dierker to bring in Jackson over Dotel or Williams. That was inexcusable. Theres not another manager in the league who would of put Jackson in in that situation.

    I knew that was all she wrote when Dierker brought in Jacskon. Then he brings in Billy to mop up Jacksons mess. Un****ingbelievable!

    Larry should be fired if we lose this series, no question. All he has to do is pitch his setup man (Dotel) and we are on to the 9th. Instead, we blow a game that was definitely ours.

    Oh man.... I saw the bolded text on the scorecast when they ties it and I got pissed (I'm in a training class offsite). When I saw the <B>bolded text</b> of the three-run dong I was just stunned.

    When I saw Jackson was in I was wondering why it wasn't Dotel. What I want to know is was Lugo's error really an easy double play ball? If so, this franchise is just cursed.

    Give Chipper credit though if he hit it off Wagner. There's always Game 2, but that was Miller pitching and we had the lead in the 8th off Maddux.

    I agree that Dierk has to be axed if we lose this series. Did you see Mike Jackson giving him lip when he came to take him out of the game?

    I really want to hear why Dotel wasn't in the game. Putting him in at that point was a complete no brainer, especially with an off day yesterday.

    Lugo's defense is in question. Play Vizcaino. We would have been out of the inning if Lugo pulled off that double play
