The damage from last night's 17-inning affair was plenty. Infielder Omar Infante reaggravated his strained groin early in Sunday's contest (after recently straining my groin I can tell you what a pain it is - I used to make fun of players with strained groins, not anymore). Jeff Bennett injured his right shoulder in Saturday's game and Manny Acosta strained his hamstring trying to leg out a bunt in the wee innings of yesterday's marathon.
The Braves recalled Jeff Francoeur from double-A Mississippi, of course I was puzzled by that earlier... still am. The team also recalled infielder Brent Lillibridge and called up for the first time as a Brave, RHP Vladimir Nunez, who last pitched in the majors in 2004 with Colorado. Don't look for Nunez to be anything too spectacular, he's one of those barely marginal major league players.

Can we ask Texas for Salty and Neftali Feliz back? They can keep Andrus and Harrison. Sounds fair to me.
TradeAndruw - July 7, 2008
Here's one for you...
I just found out – and it’s unconfirmed (ie, I’m telling you that I heard from someone who heard….) that Jonathan Schuerholz will be a shortstops coach for Rome, Danville, and the GCL Braves. That’s all I know for now. BIG news, eh?
secondbass - July 7, 2008
Big News
I wish my dad was JS.
JBinATL - July 7, 2008
If he were my dad.....
I’d be pitching a little snit fit that I wasn’t the, you know, manager of Rome or something! I wonder if such is not too far down the road for Junior. Was he a good fielder? I honestly don’t know – anybody know? Often the best coaches weren’t the best players, so maybe this will be good…?...
secondbass - July 7, 2008
i do know he was a wretched hitter

Jeff Locke is at it again tonight in Rome....
He went 7 innings, 3 hits, no runs, 6 strikeouts.
Heyward was 2-4 with 2 RBIs (43) and another stolen base (14) and is at .340

I am honestly wasting time until the game starts. It’s killing me!
I love the feel of a late night, west coast game, but I’m usually asleep by the 5th inning. I hate that.
secondbass - July 7, 2008
I love west coast games.
I say I’ll sleep at a reasonable time, but then I stay up watching it all.

Don’t worry about the image. It will be ready for Jair’s pitching day.
royhobbs - July 7, 2008
Editing photos, too...
But boring stuff like a cousin’s 80th birthday party/family reunion from Saturday. Finally finished the ones from the game on the 4th, but nothing really that funny/exciting. I’m usually up ‘til 2 am anyway…
Lizziebeth - July 7, 2008
Being on central time helps...but I'll be up late.
I know this is stupid, but it always trips me out that its still light outside there, and not here.

Y'know
They seem boring now, but it’s always interesting to go back to old photos sometimes. Even family photos.
I don’t sleep much either. Not wise, but I manage.

royhobbs - July 7, 2008
True...
got a personal project going to scan my grandparents’ old photos while they can still tell me about them (they’re 88 & 89). Got some of them inside the Egyptian Ballroom in the Fox in ‘43 when Papa was stationed at Fort Mac and some of downtown Atl – they lived on 15th st.
Cool stuff, love old photos.

Hot Cup Joe - July 7, 2008

Maybe he had to take a bus? Further embarrassment?

Francoeur
Is the Delta Boy. Meaning he probably got delayed in Salt Lake City.
royhobbs - July 7, 2008
He actually got delayed in Chicago - layover or whatever
secondbass - July 7, 2008
Strange
They’re not a Delta-hub. Why the hell would a flight go from MS-CHI?
royhobbs - July 7, 2008
No idea, but here's the quote from the AJC
“Jeff Francoeur flew to rejoin the Braves Monday evening, relieved and happy. After three days of a minor- league stint in AA Mississippi, he was also ready to play.
‘Even though it’s only been three days, I feel like a new guy,” Francoeur told the Journal-Constitution by phone during a layover in Chicago. “I was hoping to get there before the game. But now I’m just excited to be there and be with the guys. The only thing is, I have no clothes.’”
So if he gets to the stadium, he will be naked.

I fear
That the jig is slowly coming to an end for Campillo. The lack of even mediocre velocity seems to bite him more often than naught now, more.
royhobbs - July 7, 2008
Jamie Moyer would like to have a word with you
Campillo will be fine as long as the HRs and walks are down. Seems like he’s walking more recently though and he did his best Chuck James impression the other night.
VictorW - July 7, 2008
Moyer's slightly different
He goes from 75 down to 64. He gets even slower, than the range that Campillo hangs around. So when Moyer does crank it to 83, it has more meaning.
I make a lot of comparisons to Villarreal to Campillo- there was a honeymoon period where Oscar was excellent, but then the scouts began to pick and figure, and Oscar stopped being effective. Based on what I’ve seen the last few starts, I fear that it’s happening to Campillo.
royhobbs - July 7, 2008

Okay, I admit. The reason I’m staying up is because the SS cameramen LOVE to pan the cameras on hot women in between commercials.

What do we need to do to get back into favor with Pujols?
Pray? Sacrifice a live chicken? Give him cigars? Rum? I’ll do it all, just to be safe.
BRB, going for live chicken.
jug - July 7, 2008
Rum? Chickens? Cigars?
Actually…that sounds pretty good.

An effing contract.

OntheGo - July 7, 2008
Its kinda sad
That everyone is this excited about one hit…..

3 away from another L
and a shut-out L at that.
/sigh.
jug - July 8, 2008
But at least we didn't get perfecto'd.
I’ll take solace in that. Kuroda was the best Japanese pitcher ever tonight.
royhobbs - July 8, 2008
Is it too late
For Francoeur to show up and hit a pinch-hit go-ahead grand slam?
royhobbs - July 8, 2008
no
but we have to get 3 guys on base first.
jug - July 8, 2008
Remember that game last April, where Huddy was an inning away from a shutout, and then the Marlins scored 4 runs in the 9th?
royhobbs - July 8, 2008
Not specifically
but I feel like that has happened more than once.
jug - July 8, 2008
It also happened to Huddy
In San Francisco, when Wickman devoured a win away from a Huddy shutout, but Renteria bailed them out in the 11th.

Was my favorite of hers, ever.

But you guys have no idea how relieved I am that we didn’t get perfecto’d.

I may still need to go on the DL.

I could one-up that...
but it would be lewd.
It’s basically a mouse humping a dead mouse caught in a mouse-trap.

Tonight does deserve it. I’m really not as mad as some of you guys are, but…

OntheGo - July 8, 2008
Um
Ew, and not quite relevant (?) I dunno…my sense of humor’s rather quirky too. Sorry if I offended anyone!
It was more about the symbolism, you see…(yeah, that’s the ticket)
Ha ha, no you didn’t – I see your post below!! LOL, guess I don’t have to worry about offending anyone!

Over
Just numerous (dammit), sigh…
Lizziebeth - July 8, 2008
You know something
I’m actually smiling right now. The relief of not being perfecto’d twice in the decade is that great.
We’ll be better tomorrow, I promise. We’ll score a run, I promise.
If we don’t, I’ll take the bigjoe route – the second round will be on me, come TC day.
royhobbs - July 8, 2008
that's weak.
If we lose again, I’ve got 2nd round.
Some restrictions apply. See official rules for details.
jug - July 8, 2008
Weak?
We gotta score runs before we even have a chance at winning.
royhobbs - July 8, 2008
See ya'll tomorrow.
Losses don’t sting so much when there are others to commiserate with.
