Our new ace Derek Lowe toes the mound against the Blue Jays today.
In a point of roster clarification, deep within the D-Fab blog (which sucks even more now that the comments are on multiple pages) he mentions that the Tom Glavine contract has not yet officially been "filed," and that will happen when Glavine reports next week. So the spot that was vacated by Tim Hudson being placed on the 60-day DL, was apparently filled by Garret Anderson, and another move will be made in a week when Glavine officially reports to camp. This is pretty confusing as there are 41 active players listed on the 40-man roster on the Braves official website -- so maybe they're just as confused as we are.

So I checked out a copy of MLB 2k9 last night. Not too bad if any of your folks are into the baseball games.
yondaime4 - February 28, 2009
…..o..k
Falconzfan284 - February 28, 2009
It's out already?
I thought it comes out on the 3rd of March?
Jay212033 - February 28, 2009
He robbed his local Gamestop.
Smoltz's Beard - March 1, 2009
I miss the EA Sports MLB games
tomahawkCHOP - February 28, 2009
I still have a copy of MVP ’05.
mburris1 - February 28, 2009
Is that the one w/ Manny on the cover? Classic
tomahawkCHOP - February 28, 2009
Yep
A classic.
I still have a braves franchise that I play. I don’t even know what season I am on.
mburris1 - February 28, 2009
Since we're playing the Jays
Are the Canadian stations able to stream the game over the ’net?
Lennox - February 28, 2009
Nope. Big Bro MLB has its hand over their mouth also…o to speak.
Lizziebeth - February 28, 2009
Well, I've got a stream that's going at the moment
Googled Toronto Blue Jays Radio and then hit the first link that came up.
Who knows how long it’ll last.
Lennox - February 28, 2009
Stick it to the man.
I’m rooting for you.
mburris1 - February 28, 2009
Awesome!
I’ll give it a go, too. Thanks for the info. I tried a slightly different search phrase and got a “due to MLB blah, blah, blah” message.
Lizziebeth - February 28, 2009
Might be because I was listening to the pre-game show before they switched over
Or something, technology is indistinguishable from magic
Lennox - February 28, 2009
I can't get it...which station did you click on?
justincredubil02 - February 28, 2009
It's working (so far)!
You’ve made my week!!
Lizziebeth - February 28, 2009

Jay212033 - February 28, 2009
Does that give him more hits than Corky had all last season?
justincredubil02 - February 28, 2009
yep
Jay212033 - February 28, 2009
I think everyone had more hits than the Cable Guy/child molester.
Lizziebeth - February 28, 2009
Prado groundsout
Jay212033 - February 28, 2009
I wish we had Jesse Litsch
He is a good pitcher and a fellow Bull!

does anybody know if you can order the MLB Extra Innings package at the midpoint of the year for a discounted price?
tomahawkCHOP - February 28, 2009
Yes
You can.
Or you could just got to myp2pforum.eu and find where you can watch baseball games for free ; )
ATLandUNC - February 28, 2009
oMG
THANK YOU!!!
justincredubil02 - February 28, 2009
I watched 40-50
Braves games there last year. Never paid a cent. It’s my way of fighting back against these facist blackout rules I get in Pa. Philly, Mets, Pirates, Yankees…I hardly get to watch anything.
ATLandUNC - February 28, 2009
That is incredible!!
I’ll risk going to jail! How do you guys find this stuff!?!?

ATLandUNC - February 28, 2009

Lizziebeth - February 28, 2009

RBI double for Diaz
bbxxj - February 28, 2009
That a boy Matty!
RainDelay - February 28, 2009
rakes those lefties
bbxxj - February 28, 2009
That's all I want him to do...
…just be a lefty killer.
RainDelay - February 28, 2009
Diaz/Norton
would give us nice pinch hit options late in games
Lennox - February 28, 2009
Yup..
…and that’s the only way I want to see Norton, pinch hitting. Nothing more, nothing less.
RainDelay - February 28, 2009
That’s what we need him to do this season!
Jay212033 - February 28, 2009
Jonessyyyy
ATLandUNC - February 28, 2009

Johnny Ringo - February 28, 2009
That’s what I’m listening to, they’re pretty good.
MatM - February 28, 2009
Yep, me too. They arent douches like the other guys.
ATLandUNC - February 28, 2009
Thanks! will give it a shot.
Lizziebeth - February 28, 2009
Bauer K's Ross, 3rd inning over
Trade Ross! He’s no BMac!!!
Lennox - February 28, 2009
Is there anyway to type a backwards K? Because I think it would prove to be useful.
MatM - February 28, 2009
ﻼ, that’s the best I could find.
MatM - February 28, 2009
ʞ, better I think.
MatM - February 28, 2009
so what is the score now...
I just realized that the program that i was listening to switched away from the game about 15 minutes ago…lol
I guess I cant watch basketball, type online and listen to baseball at the same time
justincredubil02 - February 28, 2009
Tar Heels?
tomahawkCHOP - February 28, 2009
of course!
justincredubil02 - February 28, 2009
Good to have Zeller back
tomahawkCHOP - February 28, 2009
VERY good
he is a huge boost to the bench and means that none of our big guys should get into foul trouble again.
justincredubil02 - February 28, 2009
he looked a bit shaky his first game back, but he looks GREAT today
tomahawkCHOP - February 28, 2009
OMG
we’d better stop talking about basketball before someone has a hissy fit and gets the thread deleted…it has happened before…
justincredubil02 - February 28, 2009
ok.....ok
tomahawkCHOP - February 28, 2009
meanwhile, back at the batcave
I hope ND beats UCONN today…that will help our RPI and help us become #1 on Monday.
justincredubil02 - February 28, 2009
/flagged as hater
Smoltz's Beard - March 1, 2009
you gotta love it when the broadcast
leaves your game to go to another one becaue your team is just so much better than their comp that day…:)
justincredubil02 - February 28, 2009
Try the 95.7 link above
it’s working for me.
Lizziebeth - February 28, 2009
yeah, i got it now...
thanks.
justincredubil02 - February 28, 2009

Travis Snider
Is the Jays
Jay212033 - February 28, 2009
Top spec
Jay212033 - February 28, 2009
Yeah, he's the one who struck out
Lennox - February 28, 2009
Strikes are hard to come by in this game.
MatM - February 28, 2009
The Canadian broadcasters...
“He struck oat in his first at-bat…” Maybe he could tell us more ABOOT that.
FineHamAbounds - February 28, 2009
So ironic...
I just watched the South Park movie again last night…
justincredubil02 - February 28, 2009
Top 4
Prado works the count full, but grounds out to 3B
Lennox - February 28, 2009
Blanco grounds out to 2B
Since he’s leaving for the WBC, this could be his last game with the team this year.
Lennox - February 28, 2009
Schafer Ks, 1-2-3 inning.
Lennox - February 28, 2009
anyone know if all those groundball singles from lowe were a product of our DEF not playing well or just the hitters finding the gaps?
drumzalicious - February 28, 2009
From the announcers
Sounds like the ones in the 2nd were well hit
Lennox - February 28, 2009
i hope so cause if the DEF has gotten worse with offseason weight gains or anything that would suck especially with lowe as our ace
drumzalicious - February 28, 2009
Schafer K's
But he did work the count full after fouling off several pitches.
FineHamAbounds - February 28, 2009
Holy...freakin cold up there!
weather report – high of 5 tomorrow, low of -5.
Lizziebeth - February 28, 2009
It's always winter in Canada ...

Johnny Ringo - February 28, 2009
Frank Good in to pitch Bot 4
Lennox - February 28, 2009
And 5 cm of freezing rain!
What is that, about 1/2 a hog’s head?
FineHamAbounds - February 28, 2009
1 Centimeter = 0.3937007874 Inches
Johnny Ringo - February 28, 2009
Centimeters?
What are you, a communist?
ATLandUNC - February 28, 2009
Schafer needs to calm down with all these K’s. we dont need him to be a ryan howard we need him to lead off!!
drumzalicious - February 28, 2009
Josh Anderson
should lead off
justincredubil02 - February 28, 2009
I agree if Schafer keeps hitting like this. there were talks of him being another Grady Sizemore but im not seeing it
drumzalicious - February 28, 2009
It’s been like 3 games…chill out
Smoltz's Beard - March 1, 2009
Bingo..
..and what three games into the spring?
RainDelay - March 1, 2009
Anderson strikes out more than Schafer does…
acie4mvp - March 1, 2009
Id still
take Schafer over Anderson anyday
ATLandUNC - February 28, 2009
+1
Jay212033 - February 28, 2009
I agree only if Schafer doesnt keep hitting like this. there were talks of him being another Grady Sizemore but im not seeing it
drumzalicious - February 28, 2009
I'd take whoever is playing better.
That goes for all the OF spots
Lennox - February 28, 2009
That wont work
Because then Francoeur will have no place on the team
ATLandUNC - February 28, 2009
Exactly!!!
Lennox - February 28, 2009
Bueno gets a 1-2-3 inning
KJ leads off with a single to start the 5th
Lennox - February 28, 2009
Escobar is tearing it up today
Single!
FineHamAbounds - February 28, 2009
Esco with an infield single
The SS apparently made a good play keeping it in the IF
Lennox - February 28, 2009
Bases

Lennox - February 28, 2009
Strikeout-Throwout DP!
FineHamAbounds - February 28, 2009
Ross seems to be tearing it up. I think i’ll finally be able to take McCann having an offday . . .
Now Chipper on the other hand . . .
drumzalicious - February 28, 2009
Ross
Seems to be a very nice addition!
Jay212033 - February 28, 2009
I agree
If we’re gonna have a backup catcher who doesn’t hit too well, at least he’s got some decent pop when he connects.
FineHamAbounds - February 28, 2009
Now it's Top 6
I keep forgetting the Braves are the road team.
Lennox - February 28, 2009
Soon as I bragg on him he K’s lol
Jay212033 - February 28, 2009
Bragg?
mburris1 - February 28, 2009
"Fly on a winshield" catch.
Nice.
FineHamAbounds - February 28, 2009
He used to be my favorite. I could never figure out why
acie4mvp - February 28, 2009
I’d rather have one K every few AB’s then him doing like shafer and K’ing every at bat.
another positive so far seems to be that Escobar learned out to not GIDP
drumzalicious - February 28, 2009
1-2-3 inning
Ross, Prado, Blanco go down quietly
Lennox - February 28, 2009
Interesting...
Adam Loewen in to pinch run. I’d like to see an AB from him.
FineHamAbounds - February 28, 2009
Fruto (?) in to pitch

Lennox - February 28, 2009
Flyout to Heyward, inning over
Lennox - February 28, 2009
Top 8 Braves up 5-2
Diaz up to leadoff, no chance of GIDP this time
Lennox - February 28, 2009
Diaz just misses a double down the RF line, then strikes out
Lennox - February 28, 2009
Apparently everyone in the stadium gets free bowling as a result!
Lennox - February 28, 2009
Heyward hits one into the parking lot, but foul

Ugh...not pretty
RainDelay - February 28, 2009
Nunez in to pitch, gets flyout to Blanco in CF, inning over, Braves up 5-3
Lennox - February 28, 2009
Blanco, apparently robbed of a hit by the SS, Schafer with a line drive single
Lennox - February 28, 2009
Hicks HBP
Bases loaded for Freeman
FineHamAbounds - February 28, 2009
Inante single, Hicks HBP, bases loaded for Freeman
Lennox - February 28, 2009
Fielder's choice, run scores, sounded like someone misplayed the ball a bit
Lennox - February 28, 2009
Diaz K to end top 9th, Braves up 6-3
Lennox - February 28, 2009
Nunez still pitching
HBP on the first hitter, maybe payback for hitting Hicks last inning
Lennox - February 28, 2009
Heyward makes a catch at the rack, 1 down
Lennox - February 28, 2009
Striekout, 2 down!
Lennox - February 28, 2009
