Kenshin Kawakami gets the final start of the spring for the Braves before they leave for Philly to open the season. The game will be live on Sports South. Oh, and I was just clicking through my Comcast channels, and they have added the MLB Network in High Definition -- truely awesome! Yes, folks, baseball for real is almost here.

Tommy G
on Braves Live. Calling Frenchy “Jeffey”? Cute.
They’ll have Jordan on next.
Wish I was there – it’s a gorgeous day.

Ditto
At least you aren’t at work till 7p (I assume)
Cammando2317 - April 4, 2009
Not today, have to do a road trip in about an hour or so.
Feel for ya! Hope you at least have a window – that doesn’t look into a parking deck like mine. Monday through Friday I never know whether the sun is out or not.

Schafer's Interview
What did Schafer have to say?
Little Lady - April 4, 2009
Sorry, I missed most of it while in the bathroom throwing up due to “#10…Fred”’s comment (see my post below). Thanks for the follow up info, Weldon!
Turns out it was a pre-recorded segment with Joe Simpleton – not live, and all I heard was them talking about him taking #24 & the history of the number…
Lizziebeth - April 4, 2009
I wonder...
why she’s not working with Braves Live this year.
Little Lady - April 4, 2009
Katie Temple...
that is.
Little Lady - April 4, 2009
i went! (not to rub it in)
It was a great day, but i’m fried.
10-4 - April 4, 2009
These "analysts" on CSS are utter tools.
sdp - April 4, 2009
Oh no, he didn't...
the new BL guy, Fred whatever, just called the Braves the yankees. Get rid of him and bring back OKT!
Lizziebeth - April 4, 2009
Get the rope...
FineHamAbounds - April 4, 2009
Hickman's got quite a history...

God knows why he was hired. He doesn’t seem, you know, competent. And OKT was a lot easier on the eyes…
Weldon - April 4, 2009
Is there a link to this game today?
justincredubil02 - April 4, 2009
2-0 tigers
2nd inning
Lizziebeth - April 4, 2009
yes— i bet directv started up the extra innings channel too (i have it)
angrysmurf - April 4, 2009
Worried?
Is anyone else worried about the Kawakami situation this year?
Cammando2317 - April 4, 2009
Could Hanson entering the game here foreshadow a midseason KK breakdown and the big call-up of Hanson? haha
Bravely going forward - April 4, 2009
I'm going to write this one off...
…to nerves. First time pitching in the big-boy park… new mound, wanting to impress, etc. I was less than thrilled with the goomba who was booing so loudly…he needs to move to Philly or New York.
sddbaker - April 4, 2009
yeah, but seriously, you’re probably right
Bravely going forward - April 4, 2009
THAT'S WHAT....
I’M TALKING BOUT BABY!!!!!!
Cammando2317 - April 4, 2009
FUCKING CHRIST!
Did you see that curveball from Hanson! Dear God!
sdp - April 4, 2009
Haithcockesque…
sddbaker - April 4, 2009
We're no strangers to loooove
you know the rule and so do i
justincredubil02 - April 4, 2009
lmao. It was worth it to see Hanson get that out.
That pitch was nasty. Tommy all day long. Now the game gets interesting. Let’s put up some runs guys!!
Chief Noc-A-Homa - April 4, 2009
Sweet!
Way to go Tommy H.
Lizziebeth - April 4, 2009
My mouth fell open when I saw that TH curve. Dang…
Little Lady - April 4, 2009
You could tell...
that KK was getting frustrated in that last inning.
Little Lady - April 4, 2009
awesomeness
baseball is on tv here in texas!!!
sadly, it is the yanks vs the redsox…
justincredubil02 - April 4, 2009
Must be an old game...
Red sox are playing the Mets right now. 6-0 Boston in the third.
Skanks are playing Cubs…don’t know the score ‘cause I don’t care.
(Some) free MLB.tv games this weekend:

Lizziebeth - April 4, 2009
must be...
i just found kc vs the rangers…i think i will watch that instead.
justincredubil02 - April 4, 2009
FYF
with a homer!
Lizziebeth - April 4, 2009
looks like the power is starting to come back
i just hope he doesnt think it IS* (see what I did there?) back and regress now.
justincredubil02 - April 4, 2009
FRF is the new FYF
Fuckin right Frenchy…. STOP HATIN’ ON HIM PEOPLE!!
Cammando2317 - April 4, 2009
Check back on the older threads…fyf goes both ways, sweetie.
Lizziebeth - April 4, 2009
FRF just doesn’t sound right
chance13ga - April 4, 2009
MattE
Lean mean stealin’ machine!
Lizziebeth - April 4, 2009
So what was KKs deal today?
2.2 ip, 3h, 4r, 4er, 7bb, 0k
Was it just one of those days where he couldnt locate, or was it something else?
justincredubil02 - April 4, 2009
Just had trouble locating his fastball. He wasn’t barely missing, he was a good foot off the plate a lot. That’s very unlike him, so I’ll chalk it up to nerves/end of spring training.
beeniez - April 4, 2009
can we just say he was tinkering with a pitch?
Please? I hope he wasnt this bad without expirementing
justincredubil02 - April 4, 2009
He didn’t look bad, I think he’ll be successful – just one of those days.
beeniez - April 4, 2009
Should have said "Sorry" to Glavine...
… Hanson is ready—he made Magglio Ordonez look foolish.
sdp - April 4, 2009
why didn’t we trade hanson to San Diego?
yondaime4 - April 4, 2009
Because of his sexy goatee.
But since he shaved it, we should just go ahead and ship him off.
Little Lady - April 4, 2009
They mad him shave it off when they sent him to minor league camp. He’s still sexy on the inside.
cbwilk - April 5, 2009
Was Kawakami getting squeezed? Because jesus christ, 7 walks and no Ks in less than 3 innings is frightening.
bigjoe - April 4, 2009
A little bit...
But it really didn’t matter that much because most of the time he was missing very badly.
Little Lady - April 4, 2009
Christ, that makes me a little sick.
bigjoe - April 4, 2009
Back from the game...
So the game wasn’t very good, but it was a pleasure to be back at the ballpark. I got some good pics of Kawakami and Hanson in the bullpen before the game, but for some reason photobucket is not loading my pictures. Once i figure out what the deal is i’ll put em up. Best part of all: Tommy Hanson autograph baseball! Woo hoo!
10-4 - April 4, 2009
Awesome!
I went to the game last night and Vasquez looked really good. I look forward to seeing your photos.
