Open Thread and Noc-A-Homa-Win-A-Lotta: Giants at Braves (8/16)

Perhaps I'll be a bit more verbose once I get my feet back under me. Boy did I tie one on last night, but hey, it was pretty darn fun. The crowd did a good job of solidly booing Bar' whenever he came to bat. I got a lot of comments on the 755 shirts, and a lot of high fives - felt good. Anyway, I've gotta do some work, let's get the sweep tonight - Go Braves!

...never seen so many in my life.  nor, did they seem so confusing.

there are bonds-bashing shirts
and then "bashing bonds but still glorifying his achievement" shirts?

It was nice
to see Barry using his 'roids for something good when he helped keep Ryan Klesko from killing the umpire.

Or course he did wait until Klesko was almost back in the dugout.

"What are you doing Barry, I am not even mad anymore!!"

"Sorry, man, I just wanted to touch you"

Never realized...
...Boomstick's intro music is "All Along the Watchtower".  Pretty freakin' solid.  That along with "Crazy Train" makes a nice 1-2 punch.

PS...Lincecum is all over the place.  Unfortunetly, so is the ump's strikezone.

"Francouer"?
Am I seeing things or was Francoeur's name misspelled on his jersey Thursday?
Umm..
...by Thursday do you mean today?  Or are you watching the game from the future?

PS...after serving up his 3rd homer of the night, Chuckie is quickly falling out of my good graces.

All I ask
is in the offseason, give me someone who can pitch! If Big Z's available, take him. If we can trade for Oswalt, do it!
Shut up!
It's totally misspelled -- I just saw it when Frenchy was running to first!  Don't they have a proofreader?
Frenchy can't spell his own name????
Or maybe he just didn't check it!
Changed...
Frenchy changed his jersey before his last at-bat...the last one was sparkly clean and spelled correctly.  I hope we find out who pointed it out to him.  :D
Velcro
you could seriously use that in a Clubhouse Yeah! skit.

French: You did horrible in the last game Heap!
Heap: At least I can spell my own name!

Then you post a picture of the messed up jersey where Heap says my own name! That will be a classic for Velcro!

that is hilarious
I had to go to a dinner for my husband's company last night, but I recorded the game . . . wasn't going to bother watching it because I couldn't resist on the way home in the car and listened to the end, but man, I'm gonna have to check that out . . .
Yeah
I thought I'd try your job at Clubhouse yeah once!
Question...
...have you guys ever seen so many fly balls hit to the warning track from the Bravos in one game?

Ugh...one of the ugliest games all season.
