Braves announcers are amazed Hampster has 8 homers

I just dropped in to say...

… can we never, EVER let Bob Howry near a major league mound again?

Thank you. I’m out of here again. Let’s win this game!

I think if Howry was on the playoff roster

And we had a 5-7 run lead late in the game, and he came in and blew it…I think I’d kill myself.

if it’s any consolation, this post made me laugh out loud.

yeah howry has to go.

lol...

wouldn’t you want to kill him first? A quest for vengance and anger?

I think I'd get suspended from Wrigley for doing this

If you get in trouble for running on the field…imagine the repercussions for anything else!! Not worth it.

+1

There is no way to defend him staying on the team. Activate Lieber from the DL and DFA Howry.

Good hit RJ!

I do agree, I have no idea how Lou is going to trust Howry in a relief situation when he gives up runs like these. He has to keep his composure and pitch no matter the situation.

by aznsensation on Aug 14, 2008 8:52 PM CDT up 0 recs

He had a 7 run lead! Pretty good situation.

I can’t see the game, did he lose his composure? I think he’s got to go.

by mlern on Aug 14, 2008 8:53 PM CDT up 0 recs

I'm just picturing Lou turning to Howry in a big playoff situation

or worse in a game like this during the playoffs and we have to sweat it out.
