BRING IN K. FARNSWORTH! Reitsma can't BUY AN OUT!
LOL, this is like clock work. Another blown save.
It wasn't all his fault though. Smoltz left him with 1st and 3rd, one out.
Andruw up..2 outs, bottom of the 10th..after Kolb pitched a scoreless 10th.
'druw battled but struck out. Top of the 11th.
woo hoo
How you blow a 3 run lead against the GIANTS puzzles and infuriates me.
Betemit walks to lead off the bottom of the 12th.
Whore-assio Ramirez pinch-hitting for Boyer.
****-ass couldn't lay down a ****ing BUNT!
Well, the only hitter left on our bench is Chipper, who's injured. ****.
Kelly walks. 1st and 2nd.
Out of the 13 different guys who batted for us today, only 4 have a hit, Andruw and Adam having 5 of the 7 total hits. Terrible..just terrible.
GAME OVER! GAME OVER!
M Giles singled to left, W Betemit scored, K Johnson to second.
BRAVES WIN! DAAA BRAVES WIN!

John Smoltz wasn't involved in the decision after yielding four runs over 8 1/3 innings against the Giants tonight.
Smoltz didn't walk a batter and struck out six. He had allowed just one run through the first eight innings, but he gave up two singles, a double, and a groundout to score two runs in the ninth before departing. Chris Reitsma then blew the save when J.T. Snow grounded out to score Ray Durham, a run charged to Smoltz's account. Smoltz was complaining of fatigue after his last start and allowed all four of his runs in the eighth and ninth tonight. Perhaps the Braves should have seen the writing on the wall and yanked him sooner.
Marcus Giles singled in the winning run with two outs in the bottom of the 12th inning off Giants reliever Brian Cooper tonight.
Wilson Betemit walked to start the 12th before pinch-hitter Horacio Ramirez popped up a sacrifice bunt attempt. After Rafael Furcal was retired, Kelly Johnson walked to push Betemit to second. Giles' single to left, which was his only hit of the night to extend his hitting streak to 14 games, easily scored Betemit from second to end the game.
