Spring Training Open Thread: Blue Jays at Braves

The Canucks come a-calling. Derek Lowe hits the mound for his penultimate start of the spring. The game is supposed to be televised on CSS, which I beleieve is Comcast Sports South, or something of the sort. It is also being advertised to be on MLB.TV.

can someone post one of those streaming links?

please?

Is Chipper going to get beaned?

What happens in Orlando hopefully doesn’t hurt Chipper in Orlando

what are you talking about?

'Not exactly Vegas'

http://deadspin.com/5174143/its-chipper-jones-vs-the-city-of-toronto-lets-watch-the-fun

oh right i remember that story lol. i doubt he will get beaned. that would be vastly immature for someone to get upset at the fact that he was bored in their city. the intelligent thing to do would be to offer to show him around the next time

I don’t think he’ll get beaned either..at least I hope not!

Do you post on the AtlantaFalcons.com message boards? sacfalcon or something like that?

Haha, I love that Bosh spoke up about it.

I wonder if Chipper really has Bosh’s number…damn, them two together…someone would definitely get impregnated…or in Chipper’s case, hooted…

It's actually

Bosch

Its actually not. Bosch is an automotive part maker, and they probably make other things. Bosh is the Raptors big man.

nope…it isn’t.

lol

If photoshop weren’t processing a 1.3GB file, this would warrant a fail achievement: “you’re ACTUALLY WRONG”

yes a live streaming link would be fantastic...

knology augusta is screwing me over…….

Keep on doing that FYF and everything will be all good

what did he do?

Hard line drive to RF

I'll do the updates today

Kelly with a leadoff double.

Escobar gets him over to 3rd.

Chipper with a SF to CF 1-0 Braves. 2 outs

McCann singles to LF.

Francoeur singles to RF WOW, McCann moves to 3rd. 1st and 3rd. 2 outs

Norton grounds out to SS. 1-0 Braves end 1st.

thanks!

thanks for the updates
+1

thanks for the update. keep em coming

CSS??

When i go to CSS, I see some college baseball game. What’s the deal??

I’m holding back from saying anything about FYF this spring…I really hope this is a sign of things to come.

that's why i drafted him last night!

:)

Could have a potential steal on your hands. Let’s hope he can keep his head on straight when he goes through his first slump of the season.

i hope so...

kind of like when i drafted Jay Cutler in the 6th or 7th round of my football draft this past season…

Re

Frenchy looks very, very good this spring totally different.

Just saw this on AJC

http://blogs.ajc.com/atlanta-braves-blog/2009/03/26/hanson-heyward-sent-to-minors/

Hanson, Jo-Jo, Freeman and Heyward were all sent to AAA today.

Ugh...

…it’s already been fanshotted, noob!

dammit...

I dont read fanshots, remember?

My hard work was well spent i see…..

i do fanposts

they require less scrolling down to see…

:)

it's ok

gondeee doesnt read them either and it’s his blog

I’ll post them every half inning.

You'll do no such thing!

you will post them after every at bat, or whenever we want you to, and that will be the end of it!

:)

half inning will do. Much easier to read, and takes up much less space.

i was just joshing him

i appreciate any update i can get. i dont want to say i am desperate, but shoot, if the fat girl asked me to prom i would have rented a limo in a heartbeat!

Millar flies out to deep LC field.

K’d the next guy. Didn’t catch his name.

Millar's leading off!?

it’s the 2nd inning. And yes he lead off the inning.

ahh…thought we were away for some reason

Chip Caray is such a dumbass.
+1 x infinity
why does everyone hate him?

I always kind of liked him…maybe just bc of his family name…and the name chip – seriously, that is like naming your baby “Chuck Tebow”.

According to Chip

Fausto Carmona vs. Andy Pettitte is the greatest playoff pitching matchup in the history of baseball.

Well

you have to factor in the gnats

no morris vs smoltz???

pretty sure an epic game 7 that features two of the games most dominant pitchers that throw shutouts for 9 innings each is better.

Hence the hatred

Re

because he always makes a freaking reference to the damn Cubs!!! He need to go broadcast for them!!!

bc he simply doesnt know what he is talking about…i posted a story here once:

http://www.talkingchop.com/2007/10/9/221931/735

Read it and you will understand

meh...

i could pull things like that article from ANY sports broadcast. EVERY talking head makes mistakes.

yeah but Caray does it ALL the time

-1

Teblow.

+1

Heisman

I am not even a gator fan

and I can respect Tebow. Anyone who says he sucks is just a hater. That man is one of the best COLLEGE football players we will ever see.

Look at Schafer, gunning a man down at the plate

Schafer kills a throw

He really cost us the run that scored by misjudging that pop up by Bautista.

NASA just reported a strange sound on RADAR...
and to think

all day long, we have been thinking NKorea was launching a missile…it was really Heyward!

Here we go again!!!!!!!!!!
same old sh*t again
The Lefties are going

to be our downfall!!!!!!!!!!

and Will Ohman is nowhere to be found.

But Garrett Anderson is here? weak.

Here we go again
Same old stuff again
Marching down the avenue
Six more weeks and we’ll be through
I’ll be glad and so will you

Footage of TP!!!!!!

nailbiter

2 outs. bases loaded. b logan pitching. still 5-1

Brooks Conrad saves us a run. Still 5-4

yeah, that was a screamer.

Top 8th

Barrett lines out to 2B and the top of the 8th FINALLY comes to an end. 5-4 Braves

who is closing today?

6-5 f'n Blue Jays!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry make that 7-5!!!!!!!

Chip is in midseason form with his over-excitement on fly balls that don’t reach the warning track.

I think Medlen is struggling b/c those Spring Training hat’s bills don’t flatten out.

we get our all-stars back and start losing?

haha. Weirder things have happened. We’re playing the full 9 now.

Game over. We lose 7-5.

Apparently someone replaced the Braves' pen with the Mets' 2008 pen
Schafer just finished off Josh Anderson today.
Lets all hope so

This isnt even close anymore. Schafer is on a completely different level right now. He HAS to start

I havn’t had a chance to watch many spring training games this year, but last night Anderson looked awful.

I hope I never heard the names “Boone Logan” or “Eric O’Flaherty” again, unless the sentence also involves the word “cut”, “released”, or “minors”.
